Thank you so much Hambright PR for sending me this ARC!

Title: Say Yes to the Death
Author: Madison Score
Genre: Romantic Comedy, Romantic Suspense
Series: Claire Hartley Accidental Mystery #2
Pages: 556

Synopsis:

After putting her would-be-murderer behind bars, Claire Hartley is determined to get back to planning elaborate marriage proposals and exploring her undefined relationship with grumpy filmmaker Luke. If she could just kick her new sleepwalking habit, everything would be perfect.

Unfortunately, perfect isn’t in the cards for Claire when her archnemesis slaps her with a lawsuit, someone from her past comes knocking, and she becomes the target of mysterious threats that feel oddly familiar. Is the West Haven Widowmaker pulling strings from prison or is it a new sinister bad guy?

When a betrayal sends her into a tailspin, it’s time for Claire and her rescue corgi, Rosie, to take investigative matters into their own hands…er, paws.

Can she figure out who is behind the escalating threats before it’s too late?


Review & thoughts:

Say Yes to the Death is the second book in Claire Hartley Accidental Mystery series which is a great mix of Romantic Suspense and Romantic Comedy. I loved the first book in this series and this one was equally amazing, I already can’t wait for the next part of Claire’s story! 

After narrowly escaping with her life after being targeted by a serial killer, Claire’s bad luck doesn’t get better with her nemesis filing a lawsuit against her and someone threatening her life again. Add to it her boyfriend keeping secrets from her yet again and her biological dad making appearance after 20 years, Claire’s life gets more chaotic than ever when she tries to grow her business, avoid the reporters and keep her personal life and relationships in check all the while trying to stay alive. 

I had so much fun reading this book, I thought the first one was amazing but this one was even better. Madison created a story with the perfect amount of funny moments and banter between the characters but also enough suspense to keep me on the edge of my seat, the plot was interesting and perfectly paced and despite the book being quite long, I wasn’t bored for a single moment. Claire definitely was the star of this book, she is really strong, intelligent, funny and never gives up, but she also isn’t perfect and makes many mistakes which makes her quite real and relatable, it was amazing to learn even more about her and her family here. I like the couple in crisis trope and it was written really well here, Claire and Luke were amazing together but had some problems they needed to work out and I liked seeing them trying to communicate better and resolve their issues, I love them as a couple and can’t wait to see more of them. There were also so many amazing side characters, they were all well written and three dimensional and I hope some of them will get their own stories someday or maybe more spotlight in next books in this series.

Say Yes to the Death is a great second book in this amazing series, I loved it and definitely recommend this series to everyone. I can’t wait for book 3!
