Money, Treasure, and… Love

One of my 2020 goals was to read more books. You would think that with pandemic shut downs that I might have made headway with that goal, but instead I had to pivot to homeschooling, fire-drill mode for several of my firm’s clients, and just generally trying not to freak out.  Fortunately, along came Cathy Perkins my fellow Stiletto Gang member with a brand new book – Calling for the Money. 

Calling for the Money is the fourth book in the Holly Price mystery series, but doesn’t require reading the first two (there’s plenty of quickie recaps to bring a reader up to speed) and the mystery is self-contained. Holly is a top flight accountant who is quick-thinking, analytical and on the run from a devastating break-up.  But as Holly digs into her new job, her personal life and caring heart cause her to get involved in a missing persons case.  As Holly struggles to figure out if the perfect job she’s always wanted is what she wants now that she has it, kidnappers, extortion schemes and a father who needs a quick punch in the face keep her from being able to have a moment to herself. 

This mystery was exactly what I needed to keep me turning pages and avoiding the dishes. Holly Price with her financial wizard mind was a smart heroine with tons of moxie that makes you root for her all the way through the book.  Calling for the Money was a fun, smart read, and I recommend the entire series.

Chase Regard is captain of the nearly-historically-accurate
pirate ship Cupid’s Revenge, a pirate-themed restaurant and dinner show, and
the mountain of debt that came with both. But Chase has an ace up his sleeve:
his ancestor left a heap of treasure somewhere on the coast near Ashville,
Oregon. All Chase needs to find it is the help of the red-headed, fiery,
and occasionally forgetful, academic Dr. Jenna Mackenzie, the director of the
Ashville Museum. But when Chase and Jenna team up they must face the town’s
history-buff bully, accusations of theft, and an oncoming storm before they
find out that X marks the spot for love and treasure.
