About this book:
“Annie Gray has an epiphany: she is not living the life she's always dreamed of. She decides to start fresh, drawing inspiration from her favorite classic Hollywood films. First, Annie moves into the picturesque Carmel bungalow belonging to her grandmother - a retired film star. Next up: landing an exciting job as a private investigator's assistant. But Annie's new boss is no Humphrey Bogart, and the work isn't quite what she pictured. Just when everything in Annie's screen-worthy plan teeters on the brink of disaster, she has another epiphany. Will this one land her in the arms of her own leading man?”

Rating-
For some reason, I thought this was
a historical. Whatever slight disappointment I had on that first page was
quickly gone. “Love Finds You in
Carmel-By-The-Sea, California” (whew, that’s a mouthful!) was a sarcastic book with
beagles! I’m a beagle owner, for those who don’t know, so I may be a bit biased
about books with my favorite breed in them. What more could you ask for? ;)
Okay, maybe a bit more Spiritual Content (which was at a decent amount already)
and a few less semi-detailed kisses. You have to love Doris Day & the mentions
of her. The old Hollywood quotes at the beginning of each chapter was a nice touch.
:)
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
