"A Dazzle of Diamonds" by Liz Johnson -- Book Review

 About the Book 

Penelope Hunter loves her job as the events manager at one of Savannah's premier historic venues--until her ex-fiancé walks into her office with his new bride-to-be. To make matters worse, a scheming social matriarch is intent on seeing Penelope fired, especially if she insists on being seen with Tucker Westbrook.

Since returning from serving two tours in the Middle East, Tucker has built a thriving security company. His work is nearly as stabilizing as his friendship with Penelope, who has been by his side since childhood. But when the lone candidate for county sheriff goads him, Tucker loses his cool and ends up on the ballot--and on the receiving end of a smear campaign claiming the Westbrooks were traitors to the South.

To clear his name, Tucker and Penelope must join forces to find the truth behind a 150-year-old lost treasure. But the more time they spend together, the closer she comes to losing her job--and falling helplessly in love.

My Thoughts

"A Dazzle of Diamonds" is the third book in the Georgia Coast Romance series. It is able to be read as a standalone, though. The hero from the second book plays a role in this book, but you don't feel totally left out if you haven't read the other books (although the other books are great, so why not read them?) I found the book to be well written and nicely paced. The characters are realistic with authentic feelings and insecurities. I loved reading the diary entries and trying to figure out what the treasure was and where it was hidden. I did not want to put the book down once I picked it up and had to force myself to go to bed. I look forward to reading more of Liz Johnson's books.
