And yet another mystery/crime book taken off the shelf of Stef Streatfield, what a surprise. Maybe my collection isn't as eclectic as I like to think. Like my previous full book review, it is a new series that I got from Goodreads so even though it was similar to others I have read, I hoped something would make it stand out against the others.
The Chocolate Cat Caper is the first book in JoAnna Carl's series A Chocoholic Mystery which is told from the point of view of Lee McKinney, who has gone from being a trophy wife to a wealthy Texan to an independent young woman, keeping the books for her aunt's chocolate business.

Recommended To: Chick lit lovers
Favourite Characters: Lee - interesting protagonist; Joe - intriguing romantic interest
Favourite Part: He went on to the outside door, opened it, and stepped back to let me out. Or I thought he was going to let me out. I stepped forward and he stepped sideways, and we bumped into each other again. Suddenly we were standing in the doorway, nose to nose. This time neither of us moved. We stood just there.
The moment would have passed if either one of us had reacted normally. Or maybe we did react normally.

It was a heck of a kiss. - Page 160
