Caramel Crush

I have breezed through the first 9 books in this series. Luckily this is one way to enjoy cupcakes without the calories -- binge reading a series about a cupcake bakery!
I like the setting, the characters and the plots of these books. Each story is just very entertaining and easy to read. I need an escape from reality regularly at the moment, and these books are perfect for that.
In this 9th book, Mel is delivering an order of snarky break-up cupcakes when she discovers a dead body. Once again she's on the trail of a killer, much to the chagrin of her friends and family.
I enjoyed this book. I've never heard of someone breaking off a relationship by sending insulting cupcakes, but I'm sure someone has done it. I would not want to be the person stuck delivering that sort of thing though.
I do wish that the romance angles with the main characters would take more of a back-seat to the mystery portion of the plot in these books. I'm glad Angie and Tate are getting married in the next book. I am tired of hearing about their wedding plans and reading about Angie flipping out over everything. She did so much crying in this book I was getting really annoyed at her. The word Bridezilla appeared way too many times in this book. Just elope already and get over it. lol.
I read mystery books for the mystery.....not romance. Hopefully once those two get married, the romance will stop almost over-powering the mystery plot....and I can just settle in to Mel and the gang chasing down killers.
On to the next book!!
