My book for today is Murder Strikes a Chord by Heather Weidner
Publication Date: June 10, 2025
I might look like a tall, tattooed, bearded neanderthal…but like an onion, I have layers. Swipe right if you like a proud cat daddy who catches feelings after direct eye contact.
All I wanted was a casual plus-one to my brother’s destination wedding, but those idiots on my family tree hacked my dating profile and sabotaged my quest for the perfect weekend fling. Now I’m stuck on a tropical vacation with only my hand to keep me company.
Until I’m forced to share a room with the bane of my existence: my sister-in-law’s best friend.
Dakota has hated me for the past seven years. I wasn’t losing much sleep over her screaming rants because she was some other guy’s problem. Or she was, until she got divorced.
Being stuck in paradise with a woman who loathes your very existence doesn’t sound hot, but after an unexpected moment in our shared palapa, she starts screaming at me in a different way.
What happens in paradise stays in paradise. That is, until Dakota shows up on my mountain with a proposition: be her wingman to help her regain her pre-divorce confidence.
Suddenly, Dakota’s not just person I love to fight with. She’s the woman I want everything with.
Perfect for fans of:
• Enemies to Lovers
• Small Town Romance / Vacation Romances
• Quirky Animals
• Meddling family
• Meghan Quinn and Tessa Bailey.

“Not Everly.” I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose. “But I think Calder already told Wyatt and Luke, so go ahead and tell Max, I guess. But jeez, we don’t need the teenager knowing about this. It’s weird.”
Today’s Question Is: – How many days does it usually take you to finish reading a book? (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver’s Review)
A: One if it is a kick ass book, two if it is good. Three if it is 300 pages or more, four if I am just not into reading at the time.
