Flirting with my Enemy (Love is a Mystery Book 1) by Laura Burton – Review by Shelly Kittell

Flirting with my Enemy: A Sweet Romantic Comedy by Laura Burton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elle has been running her mother’s bakery since she passed away. Zane moves in next door and starts making overtures to buy Elle’s. Oh my goodness, this means war. This story will tickle your funny bone while also having parts that will touch your heart. Joyce has been with Elle since she was a kid, working in the bakery. She has always been a Mother at heart. Elle must deal with Joyce’s dementia as well as mystery deliveries, Zane’s hijinks and wanting to date her. Connie, her BFF, tells her to just do what her heart tells her. Elle has to learn to not be such a control freak. That’s what makes the story so enjoyable to me. From one control freak to another, it’s always funny to watch them learn to grow. The story has humor, romance, friendship, business rivalries and nosy reporters, not to mention more to keep you enthralled. The author wrote fantastic characters. Zane is one of those guys that he takes the licking and still stays because he knows its not personal. He’s what we all want. Elle is totally someone we can empathies with. The reference to Jane Eyre certainly doesn’t hurt. Wonderful story. Highly recommend to all.
