BOOK: A Dilemma for Daisy by Carol Ann Kauffman

 

 


Daisy Mazlo faces a dilemma. She’s met the man of her dreams in Cooper MacNeill, a gentleman in every sense of the word: tall, dark, handsome, wealthy, kind, witty, lovable, and very interested in her. 

But Daisy can’t accept his love, so she runs away, moving back to Oakville where she grew up to sort out her feelings. Will the small loving community of her past help her find herself? Will Cooper come after her? Will a letter be pivotal in resolving Daisy’s dilemma? 

Will love win out?

A Dilemma for Daisy is part of the Monday Mystery Society series, published by Books To Go Now.


The Monday Mystery Society attracts ten diverse individuals, all attractive in their unique ways—and all of them single. Five stories of love in a small town.

A Mystery for Marissa - Alison Jean Ash

When young bookstore owner Rob starts a new reading group, The Monday Mystery Society attracts ten diverse individuals, all attractive in their unique ways—and all of them single. How many of them will still be single by the group’s closing party? Rob has found the woman of his dreams, but Marissa stiffens up at the hint that he might ask her out. Thinking fast, the young bookstore owner invents a mystery reading group, just for the chance to spend some time with the gorgeous nurse. The big mystery on his mind is how far he’ll have to go to get her attention: does he need to show up wounded in her ER? Welcome to Oakville, where people still know their neighbors, friendships last a lifetime—and gossip is a force of nature.

The Right Kiss - Giuletta M. Spudich
Janie is a confident, professional editor in her thirties … when she’s not around men. The opposite sex sends her into frazzled and tongue-tied states of being. She prefers the company of her best friend Sharon Hall, or no company at all, and is largely alone. 
When she joins the Monday Mystery Society book club, she hopes to make connections with other Oakville residents through literature, especially Victorian mysteries. Little does she know that at the book club, there is a tendency to find love in unexpected places … 
Will she let go of her cool personality and let love in? Or will she run from the sudden affection of two different men and disappear into her favorite stories, alone and lonely? 

A Singular Romance - JW Stacks
A neo-Victorian romance of fine mysteries, upset stomachs, and torrential downpours. 
Julia can't handle people. Lara can't handle Julia. Neither of the two know how to deal with the 
feelings they bring out in each other. When a shared love of Victorian mysteries bring these two 
mismatched girls together, can the matchmaking track record of the Monday Mystery Society 
remain unbroken in the face of overwhelming odds?

Protest of Love - Samna Ghani
Mary Gardner is a successful career-oriented woman with a passion for work and books. She is part of The Monday Mystery Society at Acorns, the local bookstore in Oakville. Her life is perfect, in her opinion, till she meets Stefan. Things start going downhill as he infiltrates her work, her life and her heart. 

Stefan Larsson, a dashing European attorney fighting for the rights of the weak and downtrodden. He threatens everything Mary has worked so hard to achieve. He is smart but aggressive; passionate but dominating. He’s out to get Mary but the question is: will he remain unscathed?


This Books To Go Now project was so much fun to write! Head writer on this project was the wonderful Alison Jean Ash. The concept was simple. People join a book club. Relationships begin.

This anthology followed a timetable. Each mystery book club selection  was given a date. We followed each other's stories in a specific sequence. Alison went first with A Mystery for Marisa. The characters in all five books are the same. However, each book dwells on a specific relationship forming between two characters. Most of the characters are introduced in the first book and play a small role throughout the series, so we had to work together to keep each character's personality and actions consistent throughout the five-book series.

We hope you enjoy The Monday Mystery Society books.

Oh, this little gem was just wonderful! I am a Richard Carlyle fan, so I was immediately drawn to Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing and Charm School.  Give it a shot.

I really didn't think I was going to like this. Although I generally like Marvel movies, something about this one seemed off. 

But I am a long-time fan of the wonderful, beautiful Michelle Williams from my fan days of Dawson's Creek, so I stayed with it. 

And I'm glad I did. Although I thought Tom hardy was a poor choice for the lead, he did a good job.

BOOK REVIEW: Clouds in My Coffee by Julie Mulhern



I loved Clouds in my Coffee by Julie Mulhern.  It is a Country Club Murder novel that will keep you glued to the pages. Someone is trying to kill Ellison, but they keep missing. Gunshots, arson, wobbly statues crashing down. This murder mystery will keep you guessing and turning pages. I love Mulhern’s style of writing. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read!
