In Celebration of Summer Reading - Jenna Bennett

Yes, I know - I've been addicted to series this summer. I can't help myself! I hate when a book ends... I almost always want to know "what happens next?" That was certainly the case with Jenna Bennett's Savannah Martin Mysteries series. Murder, mystery, drama and... Rafe. Oh, Rafe. The bad boy. Don't you just love a bad boy with a mushy center? Of course, there's also Todd, the man Savannah "should" want to be with. But what fun is there in doing what you're supposed to do? Being who everyone thinks you should be?

Not much fun at all, am I right?

I highly recommend this series! It's fun and addictive. And I'd go ahead and buy the bundle if I were you ($9.99 for the first five books). There's also Contingent on Approval (Savannah Martin Christmas Novella 5½ - only $0.99) and Change of Heart (#6) available in the series. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Description (From Amazon product page):

Savannah Martin has always been a good girl, doing what was expected and fully expecting life to fall into place in its turn. But when her perfect husband turns out to be a lying, cheating slimeball - and bad in bed to boot - Savannah kicks the jerk to the curb and embarks on life on her own terms. With a new apartment, a new career, and a brand new outlook on life, she's all set to take the world by storm. If only the world would stop throwing her curveballs...

A CUTTHROAT BUSINESS - book #1
Everyone has warned Savannah that real estate is a cutthroat business, but she doesn't think she's supposed to take the warning literally... until she finds herself standing over the butchered body of a competitor, face to face with the man her mother always warned her about.

HOT PROPERTY - book #2
When Savannah’s friend Lila Vaughn turns up dead, tied to her bed and strangled, Savannah's old school mate Rafe Collier becomes a suspect. It's up to Savannah to figure out what really happened before Detective Grimaldi can arrest the wrong man.

CONTRACT PENDING - book #3
Savannah has to make the choice between staying safe by accepting Todd Satterfield’s proposal, or taking a chance on losing her life - and her heart - by trying to help Rafe, when the term ‘contract pending’ takes on a whole new meaning.

CLOSE TO HOME - book #4
Between the murder of Savannah's sister-in-law Sheila, the trial of Sheila's friend Marley, and the disappearance of Rafe's twelve year old son David, Savannah has her hands full... and that's before she realizes she's pregnant.

A DONE DEAL - book #5
When Alexandra Puckett asks Savannah's help in getting rid of her father's fianceƩ, Savannah jumps at the opportunity to get her mind off Rafe Collier and the new woman in his life. But when someone starts gunning for Savannah, all bets are off.

CONTINGENT ON APPROVAL - book #5.5
It's the morning after the events of A DONE DEAL, and Savannah is looking at Rafe Collier, a pair of fuzzy handcuffs, a economy sized box of condoms (one of which plays Christmas carols), and the rest of her life... but first, there's Christmas dinner with the Martins to get through. Between Margaret Anne at her most poisonous, the ugliest Christmas sweater the world has ever seen, and yet another engagement ring under the tree, Savannah has plenty to worry about, not the least of which is whether Rafe will still want to stick around after dessert.

CHANGE OF HEART - book #6
It’s late February, just two months after Savannah Martin and Rafael Collier finally worked things out between them, and Rafe is already sneaking out of bed in the wee hours. Catching fellow realtor Tim Briggs rinsing blood from his hands in the office sink makes for a welcome distraction, and when Tim disappears just as one of his clients is found dead in a nearby park, Savannah throws herself into the investigation with abandon. But even the murder mystery taking place right under her nose can’t completely distract her from worrying about personal problems. Has Rafe changed his mind about their relationship, or is something else going on? And what are the chances of Savannah coming out of this latest debacle with her life – and her heart – intact?

Happy Reading!
