Review: ENGAGED IN TROUBLE by Jenny B. Jones


After being left at the altar, Paisley immediately returns to life in L.A. only to return back to a place she’d hoped she’d never have to see again. Let’s face it, Paisley looked a little broke and brokenhearted. So when she inherited her great aunt’s dying wedding business, she thought it would be a quick 8 weeks and a quick sell. If only the wedding details didn’t make Paisley queasy. Me too!

Paisley didn’t want to plan weddings, but if she hung on, then she could go back to L.A. If she could handle divas from a rock band, she could handle Bridezillas…right? Boy was she ever wrong! And, of course, her biggest client was the worst bride of all! And it was equally shocking to find out Bridezilla was engaged to Paisley’s ex-fiancé. Really!?

Bridezilla threatens Paisley and orders her to stay away from the fiancé. Gladly!

Soon after, the Bridezilla turns up dead, and, of course, Paisley is the #1 suspect. For godsakes, she was only there for 3 days and she hadn’t had time to unpack her underwear let alone plan a murder. With the news, business quickly came to a stand-still with cancellations coming out of the wood works. Paisley aims to solve the case with a posse in tow.

Even though I can’t stand weddings, this was fairly easy to get into. I liked Paisley’s snarky wit. I thought this would be a quick mystery, but it lags a lot and doesn’t focus too much on the case. It’s an okay read, but it’s mostly the characters working around the clock to keep the wedding shop open for business.

My rating: 3 stars
