Barnes and Noble offered this ebook for its Serial Read promotion during August 2023. i enjoy cozy mysteries, and this one reminded me of those written by Evanovich with the author's sharp wit expressed by supporting characters.
I enjoyed it enough to recommend it.

Seabreeze Sunset by Jan Moran
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I borrowed this ebook on the Hoopla app from my local library.
This is the third book of a series, and I enjoy these characters. I thought there was a bit too much repetition of the characters back stories, and not enough information about new events such as the art show.
It is entertaining , and I plan to continue to read more of the series.

Big Chicas Don't Cry by Annette Chavez Macias
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded this Kindle book when it was offered as a First Read.
I enjoyed the stories of the four cousins. The chapters are titled with the name of the cousin on whom to focus. I took away one star because there were times I had to return to the chapter heading to remind myself which one of the cousins was having this problem.
I learned a few new word, and I am not going to use them. The dictionary on my Kindle made a general definition, "Spanish Slang". The context helps fill in the meaning.
I recommend this to those readers who enjoy OTHER peoples' family dramas.

Dance with the Wind by Susannah Welch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I downloaded this ebook into my Nook library when it was offered as a #Free Friday selection from Barnes and Noble.
The author does a wonderful job of world-building and I enjoyed the characters. For that I started to give it 4 stars.
There are six volumes in this series, and I doubt if I will continue this series. I have too many books on my Want To Read shelf to continue with a new series.
