Deadlines and Valentines

By Heather Weidner
Deadlines and Valentines by Heather Weidner digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Fern Valley, nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is ground zero for all things romance. The town has pulled out all the stops for the first Valentine's Day "Love is in the Air" Book Festival with events like Death by Chocolate, author speed-dating, a character masquerade, and a male cover model fashion show.


Everything is candy and roses until the sparks start to fly. Jules Keene and her team at the glamping resort spend their time trying to tamp down fiery tempers because opposites may not always attract.


When a popular author with a heart of gold is found murdered in the barn at the resort, Jules has to find the culprit before more than just hearts are broken.

Slightly Smiling Face“I’m just loving the art because of all the pink and I’m assuming it’s Bijou on the cover and she deserves her spot 🐾💓but the idea of fans and authors getting together and having different events was the biggest attraction for me 🥰 Jules owns “ Fern Valley Luxury Camping Resort” and together with her aunt and her furry friend Bijou they run the resort and host events as well , it’s a beautiful setting and the concept is great with trailers and tiny homes that are book themed its definitely a place I’d book into with a happy heart 😉 During the event we have a mystery and a few other strange events and there are a few divas that would make you think they’re the guilty party and when do find out who it is it’s a shock but also not really if you know what I mean 😉 All the characters played their parts and I’d like to have Hake build me one of his tree houses so it can be my reading cave ! I really did enjoy every moment and this one s a read I’d recommend to any book lover if not just for the setting 🥰 Thank you to NetGalley for my copy”
“I was debating keeping this book downloaded until Valentine's Day but the cover looked too good to pass up. I previously downloaded this book via NetGalley as an ARC. I was admittedly nervous reading this as I had read a lot of stereotypical murder mystery thriller type books which isn't really my go to genre. However, this book was very well written. I did find it hard to keep track of which character was who to begin with but it all became clear. The story kept me wanting to read on more and find the 'who dunnit'. I know this book is part of a series which others recommend to read first but this book is also a standalone, so I read it as one. Whilst I find murder mystery books a very predictable premise, this book was written in a clever, different way I've not seen before, which is amazing! The character of Jules was cunning in parts and the typical FMC heroine, however was an all round team player wanting to get to the bottom of things. Well done Heather in making a predictable genre your own little success. I rate it 4 stars and would recommend this to others.”
“Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! I had high hopes for this book but there were a lot of people to keep up with. And the book was longer than it needed to be. It started out as cute trying to figure out who killed who but it was mixed with some romance. I just had a hard time staying engaged with the book.”
