Welcome to the hometown everyone wants to call their own.
“Gossip moved much faster in a town with few stoplights.”
If you like chocolate; second chances; a rich, dreamy older gentleman under a cloud of suspicion; flirty dialogue and sugary romance; and a small Texas town brimming with gossip, eccentric characters, and murder, then you are in for a sweet treat. Sweet Comfort by Kimberly Fish will push its way to the top of your to-read pile and set it on fire, but in a good way. Kimberly Fish sends readers once more to Comfort, Texas, near San Antonio, in a delightful new series called Comfort and Joy. Sweet Comfort is book 1 and has all the charm and pizzazz of the author’s other Comfort, Texas, books.
Two years ago, Gloria Backman retreated from Kerrville, Texas, to Comfort after a scandalously unfair ending to her lengthy and prestigious banking career. Gloria needed a quiet place to regroup, recharge, and restart her life as a mature woman with nothing else to do but breathe and soothe the internal wounds of betrayal. Her retirement comes to a screeching halt when she agrees to join forces with Kali Hamilton and open a chocolate shop in a touristy section of Comfort. As if that weren’t enough to shove Gloria out of her comfort zone, Mason Lassiter, fashion retail mogul from Dallas, also retreats to Comfort and begins renovating a rundown building across from Gloria’s bungalow. Handsome, charming, and mysterious, Mason stirs the gossip cauldron in the small town and sends Gloria’s carefully organized private life into a tailspin. Comfort, Texas, is the perfect place for second chances and new beginnings. And murder.
The pacing in Sweet Comfort is brisk, and the attraction between Gloria and Mason smolders on the back burner. Both are toting past relationship baggage and want only to coast under the radar for a good while, but fate usually finds a way of mixing things up. Old buildings are not the only things being renovated, revived, and reopened in Comfort; sometimes hearts need a bit of a jolt, too.
“There were pleasures to be found in the mix of some minor chaos.”
Kimberly Fish has cornered the market on portraying deliciously sweet romance in a small Texas town. All of her Comfort books are a joy to read, and this new series promises to be just as delectable. With a cozy mystery vibe, Sweet Comfort also includes a romantic jaunt, fast-paced entrepreneurialism, and small-town escapades. All that and more grace the pages of this seriously entertaining story. Once you hit the city limits of Sweet Comfort, you will immediately crave some decadent truffles, and you will want to read every single book that Kimberly Fish has written. Trust me!
