Lizzy Bennet loves life as a lawyer in the city. And not just because of the miles it puts between her and her ex. However, when she’s attacked on the street just hours after learning her identity was stolen, she tries to call home for help and ends up with the last person she expects: the very same high school boyfriend who broke her heart. He says he’s there to help, but she’s not so sure, and now, all the endless questions and regrets are clouding her judgment and preventing her from seeing the dangerous saboteur closing in.

Small-town auto mechanic, Koby Knightly, is looking forward to seeing a car show in the city. But when an unexpected call from his old girlfriend disconnects suddenly, he rushes to her aid. Throwing his plans out the window, Koby makes it his mission to protect her and discover the identity of the person trying to frame her. Will he also be able to figure out what went wrong between them back in high school or will a killer get to her first?

My Review 💜

Sprinkled with Sabotage is one of those books that is perfect to read sitting by a fire or soft candlelight, on a cool, fall night.  The mystery and suspense is immediate, instantly enveloping you in the world that is St. Claire.  Despite the horrible situation that Lizzie finds herself in, the main focus is on her relationship with her high school boyfriend, Koby.

Seeing them together you know they have something special, and deep down they both feel it too, but their abstracted perceptions of a particular past event is what is preventing them both from moving on.  I cheered for them the whole time while also trying to figure out "who done it."

There are several character that are mentioned a few times that I assume are from the first two installments, but the author did a great job of filling in the plot line as a whole so I never once felt lost.  Actually, them being mentioned makes me curious, so now the first two books are on my TBR so I can view the series as a whole, and hopefully be prepared for a book four, if it ever comes to fruition.

Sprinkled with Sabotage was such a quick, entertaining read that I highly recommend.  It's the perfect length, has a great setting and wonderful characters, and has all the ingredients for an entertaining read.  A little suspense, a little mystery, and a lot of love.

I also must add that I am in LOVE with this cover!  It could be because I am currently on a strict eating regimen and can't have anything sweet, and donuts are one of my favorite foods.  Ugh!  The covers on this entire series make me want to cheat on my diet SO. Bad.  Whoever designed them has found the key to my heart!

My Rating: ★★★★
