Bubbles Betrothed

By Sarah Strohmeyer

Book Overview

Debuting as a full-time reporter, Bubbles lands an interview with a woman accused of murdering a beloved high school principal. When the suspect keels over dead--in mid-revelation--Bubbles's confidential notes become a life-threatening hot commodity among a romance-obsessed detective, a Polish Mafioso, and a foot fetishist on the lam. If that's not enough to keep Bubbles on her toes, her ex-husband and her super-stud boyfriend Steve Stiletto are making some unexpected demands of the bleached-blonde sleuth. One comes with the promise of a dazzling Harry Winston rock. The other could be downright dangerous. Lucky for Bubbles she's equipped--and ready--to handle both...

Customer Reviews

Bubbles is so much fun!

If you can't wait for the next Janet Evanovich book, you will love Bubbles. Although a totally different character than Stephanie Plum, both sets of books have the same wacky sense of humor and love of family and community. The authors even know each other, the librarian told me that "Bubbles" was born at Janet Evanovich's kitchen table!

Also a Lehigh girl

I have enjoyed reading as many of these books as I can find. I am from the lehigh valley, Pa. She hits the nail on the head with her descriptions. They are fun and I find myself getting lost in them.I actually am a hairdresser w/ my own shop. She is accurate when describing that part of the story also.

Bubbles on Top

Bubbles is the best of the regional comic detectives, hands down. First, she's hilarious. I got a few looks as I laughed out loud in a few parts. The locale is treated humorously, but with a certain fondness as well. The characters are funny, and wacky at times. But Bubbles is more than just a comic detective. First, she has her own family. I think this does a lot to make me care for a character. Bubbles has an incredibly touching scene with Jane in the book. She can be detective, Stiletto's girlfriend, and a mother who cares deeply about what's best for her daughter. While Sarah couldn't have written this book a year ago, planning that Judith Miller would be making headlines, sitting in jail for holding on to her notes, Bubbles is in a similar predicament. It gives some insight into the role of the press in society, and it's all done while planting clues and making us laugh. Quite a talent.

Perfect Beach Book

Bubbles is delightful. She is the perfect character to get acquainted with while relaxing in the sun and surf. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Another Must Read!!!

Once again, Sarah Strohmeyer has delivered a winner! The latest installment of the Bubbles series is witty, interesting, and laugh out loud funny. If you haven't yet read the others, they are all Must Have Books. I have them all on my "Keeper" shelf and turn all my friends as well as people I meet in the bookstore on to the series. It doesn't get much better than this!
