For Raewyn Goldwin, her new job as a gallery assistant is a dream come true. Everywhere she looks she finds inspiration. Every day coming to work is a joy. Surrounded by creative, talented co-workers, Raewyn couldn't be happier. Getting closer to Kurt Wilder, one of the better-looking gallery regulars, isn't a hardship, either. Then comes the day that the collection of the decade goes missing. Raewyn finds herself one of the three chief suspects for the heist -- and of those three, Raewyn is the only one without a substantial alibi. Add to that the fact that Kurt's older brother has a criminal record, Raewyn's ex is using this moment to renegotiate the custody agreement with their four-year old daughter, and her new boss has it in for her, and Raewyn's dream job has turned into something of a nightmare.

"Enjoyed the book. Loved the dog." 5 stars. When a loose dog interrupts her daughter's soccer match, small town dog groomer, Colleen Lewis, catches the dog and returns it to its home. There she discovers the murdered bodies of the dog's owners. Overnight, she is misrepresented in the press as a witness to the crime, and Colleen and her daughter, Abbie, find themselves in the sights of a killer. Unable to sleep or to focus at work, Colleen starts looking for some sort of closure, and her attempts only put Abbie and herself in further jeopardy. At the same time, two very different men pursue Colleen -- soccer coach, Diego Fuentes, and local cop, Drew Hayes. Diego is uber-sexy and Abbie thinks the world of him, but years ago, Drew was Colleen's first kiss. Both men are appealing, and Colleen must wade through her feelings while trying to keep herself and her daughter alive until the killer is caught. The Heart of Things is Book One in the Lakeland Series, where simple small town living and heartless crimes sometimes meet. "Stephanie Plum meets The Gilmore Girls."

Canadian Author. Canadian Setting. Canadian Content. Owen Pankratz has seen Asha Jones around town. She's pretty, athletic, and single, and Peachland is a small place. So, yeah, Owen knows who she is. Somehow, though, he never realized the woman who teaches yoga at the seniors centre is also a physiotherapist by trade. Then his cousin, Alicia, leaves her husband, and Owen is injured while preventing Biff from attacking Alicia. With less than two months until Owen is meant to be running the Penticton Ironman triathlon, he is going to need Asha's services to make that happen. With a brother whose head injuries lead him to compulsive behaviour issues, Asha has her own problems. She also has immense respect for the way Owen is chasing his recovery. It isn't long before the solid strength of the man has her questioning who is healing whom. Now, if only it wasn't so inappropriate to tell him how she feels.
