She still craves forgiveness and maybe a family, but could anyone love her once they discover she sugar-coated her past?
When sheriff’s deputy, Josh Bennet, arrives on the scene of a break-in at the local doughnut shop, he finds evidence incriminating his not-so-secret-crush. Is the fair beauty being framed or is she the mastermind trafficking drugs through his hometown? When things turn deadly, Josh must discover who the real villain is before it’s too late. And he’s praying that it’s not her.
I started this series in the wrong order, so I decided to go back and read it from the beginning, as the delicious donuts on the front continued to call to me from my TBR list. Josh and Nikki are absolutely adorable together, having the will they/won’t they vibe almost throughout the entire novel, though it was clear these two were made for each other from the very beginning. My heart went out to Nikki, who is dealing with a lot of internal struggles, as well as all of the cataclysms she has to endure at the hands of an unknown assailant, and my heart truly went out to her. For the most part Josh is an absolute dream but I did struggle with him pushing his feelings for Nikki aside because she was not in the same place in her faith as he was. I agree that being equally yoked is very important, but we all are on different journeys, and I feel that shouldn’t have kept him from telling her how he felt. It was something about that whole situation that niggled at me the whole time I was reading. I also grew tired of the repetition, so much so that by the time I reached the end I was a little bored, especially when it ended just how I predicted. I had continued to hope for a surprise to pop out somewhere, but sadly none came, which was disappointing as I had hoped for a little more oomph. Despite there being quite a few suspenseful situations, it wasn’t enough to keep me fully engaged. What really made Glazed Suspicion a good read for me were the supporting characters. I am a sucker for a good, small town that is full of people that truly care about their own, coming together as a community to support the greater good. There’s just something about that sense of support that always tugs my heartstrings every single time, and was one of my favorite parts of this novel. For being a debut novel I was immensely impressed, and can see great things for Allison Pearl. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series to hopefully get answers to a few questions that were left unanswered.
