My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked this set of books featuring amateur sleuth/librarian Sunshine Baker. She is a loveable character, one who genuinely enjoys her role as YA book librarian, introducing great stories to the teens of the town. She also can’t help her curiousity when trouble is afoot in her small town. The first book, Betrayal at the Beach was a great introduction to Sunshine and her community. Unwilling to just let crimes happen, especially in HER library, she jumps into action to solve the mystery of stolen funds and the Founder’s bible. Mystery at the Marina is an excellent follow-up, though more than once I found her a little too nosey for my liking… not everything is your business, Sunshine! Shooting at the Shore follows in a similar vein, and as Sunshine is now making a name for herself, she goes to work figuring out who killed a beloved matriarch of Bryce Beach.

These books do live up to the ‘cozy mystery’ vibe well. The reader can follow along as Sunshine puts together clues, and guesses along with her what might have occurred. Sunshine is Christian, but it isn’t an overwhelming theme, just a part of who she is and what she believes. I appreciated that the work wasn’t in the least preachy, just an aspect of her beliefs and community. These are an enjoyable set of books that I definitely recommend!

Dangerous Curves Boxed Set #1 (Dangerous Curves Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery

4 out of 5 stars

This box set begins with Betrayal at the Beach. A delightful leap into the world of Sunshine Baker and her small town of Bryce Beach. Sunshine is the YA Librarian at the town library. She has planned a gala fundraiser to secure funds that had been reduced from the town budget. During the gala, the funds and a priceless town relic are stolen. Sunshine doesn’t feel that the local police are doing a good job of finding the guilty party. Sunshine and her merry band of librarians start their own investigation. Could Sunshine find the culprit before the relic disappeared and the money vanished for good?

The set continues with Mystery at the Marina. Sunshine and her gang of resourceful librarians are at it again when wildlife starts washing up on the shores dead. Sunshine butts heads with the Chief of Police while trying to figure out what was going on in her town’s marina. Sunshine thinks she can assist with the investigation, just like she did before. This investigation leads Sunshine and her crew into hot water. Will Sunshine be able to figure this out before she gets boiled?

The set wraps up with Shooting at the Shore. Sunshine gets involved in the murder investigation of a dear friend and town leader, Willa Bryce Monroe. Sunshine uncovers the family secrets that ultimately led to Willa’s death. Sunshine also makes a startling revelation regarding the newest teen patron and artist helping out in the library. Will the town ever be the same when the secrets come to light?

K.L. Montgomery gives us life in a small coastal town. I want to be friends with Sunshine and help her solve mysteries. The characters, big and small, human and animal, make the town more entertaining. The relationships between characters are enjoyable and real, from the friendships to siblings. Sunshine stands out but without her friends and teen assistants, she couldn’t solve the mysteries or remain employed!! I love the secret admirer that is carried throughout the novels. I think I know who it is, but only time will tell! Can’t wait for the next chapter in this series.

Dangerous Curves Boxed Set is the first three books in the Dangerous Curves Series by KL Montgomery. This is a Cozy Christian mystery that once you start reading you won’t want to put it down till you finish. Each story has murder mystery and characters that make you feel as if you are right there with them trying to solve the case. Sunshine Baker is a Librarian and she tries to solve each mystery. These stories are easy to read and even more fun to try and figure out the case. I highly recommend reading this Boxed Set. I can’t wait to see what she brings us next.

These books are amazing! Can I legit be Sunshine? She is seriously who my little 12 year old self wanted to be. A librarian with the nack to solve mysteries. She had me giggling at her antics. I saw myself in her throughout each book. I adore the entire community that surrounds her. Though, I must say I’ve started to have a little soft spot for Chef James. Each book is an entirely different mystery that draws sunshine into its clutches. It had me going ” I knew it!” to “Nope. No I didn’t.”. I loved how through the entire series she continuously leaned on God to protect her and lead her in the right direction. I am so in love with this series. I need the next one. You will not regret getting this series.

Dangerous Curves Boxed Set 1: 3 Cozy Christian Mysteries by K.L. Montgomery is a brilliant collection of books by an incredible author. Everything about these books is entertaining. They are all pretty easy books to read but each one is so much fun. I love the main character in the books. She has such a great personality and she is one of those characters that is so easy to connect with.
If you aren’t yet familiar with this author then I cannot stress enough how much yob need to change that immediately. Everything she writes is absolutely brilliant, to the extent that I don’t even bother to read the book descriptions anymore. Her writing style is strong and she really knows how to bring the best out of every storyline. This is a fantastic series that I would highly recommend.

This is a great box set that has three stories that are written by an author that I have enjoyed from her first book I picked up. Her books are well written and her use of attention to details make the stories realistic. These three are no different. I enjoyed being pulled into these mysteries from the beginning. Each book is unique and has characters that bring their story to life. There is murder, mystery which happens in Bryce Beach. Sunshine is a librarian that tries to solve the mysteries in each book. She made the stories fun and easy to read. She truly made the stories for me. I really enjoyed this box set.. I highly recommend this set and this author.

Dangerous Curves Boxed Set 1: 3 Cozy Christian Mysteries by K.L. Montgomery is a great way to get the books, so you don’t have to wait. A one stop shop. I have read a lot of KL’s books and I never get tired of reading them no matter what it is. She is a must read and her narrative is always a lot of fun.

Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery is the first book in the Dangerous Curves series. It is a YA story of a young amateur sleuth on a quest for answers. I am sure Nancy Drew fans will love this story. In true KL style the message in the story is about body positivity. This cozy mystery is a feel-good fun read.

Mystery at the Marina: A Cozy Christian Mystery is the second book in the Dangerous Curves series and is just as good as the first. Sunshine are her friends are on the case and looking into why marine life is suddenly dying but as usual nothing is as straight forward as it seems. With mystery and suspense and a lot of adventure and loveable characters you just can’t go wrong.

Shooting at the Shore: A Cozy Christian Mystery is the third book in the Dangerous Curves series, and we are once again drawn into trouble with this whodunnit. I have enjoyed all three books but this one is probably my fav so far. I enjoy reading books that K.L. writes as they are fun and quirky and a little dangerous and make you laugh.

~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE ~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~
Dangerous Curves Boxed Set #1 (Dangerous Curves Books 1-3) by KL Montgomery Author
Genre – Cozy mystery, Christian mystery/suspense, clean/wholesome
This boxed set contains the first three books of the Dangerous Curves cozy Christian mystery series, set in the fictional small town of Bryce Beach. YA librarian and amateur sleuth Sunshine Baker, who hates her name and can’t even bake an edible muffin, always manages to put the clues together just in time to avoid disaster! Join this curvy redheaded librarian on her quest to keep Bryce Beach safe…and well-read, of course.
Book #1: Betrayal at the Beach
When tragedy strikes the Bryce Beach Public Library, the choice is clear for librarian Sunshine Baker: solve the mystery or lose her job.
Despite having no prior sleuthing experience, Sunshine feels uniquely qualified due to her ninja YA librarian skills and all those Nancy Drew books she read as a kid. With the help of children’s librarian Molly Simmons and cataloguer Evangeline Dupree, Sunshine and her colleagues scour Bryce Beach for suspects, clues, and the stolen treasure.
Can she and her squad recover the proceeds from the library’s annual fundraising gala and Bryce Beach’s most priceless historical artifact, the Bible with the town’s founding fathers’ signatures?
But here’s the most vexing question of all: could one of Sunshine’s colleagues be a backstabbing traitor out to destroy the library? As Sunshine always says, “Jesus, take the wheel!”
Book #2: Mystery at the Marina
Sea creatures are washing up dead on Bryce Beach…
…and librarian/amateur sleuth Sunshine Baker wants to know why.
It’s only been a month since Sunshine cracked the case of the Bryce Beach Bandit, who stole the library’s donations and the Founders’ Bible, a priceless relic. Now something else is afoot in the sleepy coastal town: dead fish and other sea creatures are washing up on the shore, and no one seems to know why.
Sunshine has noticed an increased Coast Guard presence in the waters near Bryce Cove. And the two labs researching the dead fish have both mysteriously misplaced the samples they took. She suspects these two situations are connected, but how can she prove it?
And what happens when she uncovers evidence that will ruin one of Bryce Beach’s most prominent families?
Book #3: Shooting at the Shore
There hasn’t been a murder in Bryce Beach since 1878, and librarian/amateur sleuth Sunshine Baker wants to know what happened to her quiet, charming town along the Eastern Seaboard.
The town has been abuzz with new tourists, and now a developer wants to come in and take over a whole city block with new restaurants, shops, and even swanky condos. One citizen has been rather vocal about trying to keep the big city developer out, and when the body washes up on shore, everyone suspects the sweeping changes Bryce Beach has been undergoing are related to the murder.
It doesn’t take Sunshine long to figure out that something much more sinister is afoot. She only needs to look deep into the past to figure out who has the motive, means, and opportunity…
If she gets that far before meeting the same fate as the victim.
Join Sunshine and her fellow librarians on their adventures to keep Bryce Beach safe. Scroll up and one-click this cozy Christian mystery boxed set today!

Honestly I love everything this author writes! But with this one, well its different in a way that shes never written a story. It had the mystery to it and I had a hunch and dismissed it quickly and I shouldnt have, that takes a good author to steer you so close then away to keep you on your toes.
I love this town and the characters. I mean with a name like Sunshine, you won’t forget her, and I can tell we will get some great books from this already!

Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery (Dangerous Curves Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery was a book full of mystery and suspense. It is a great cozy read.

When tragedy hits the Bryce Beach Public Library, librarian Sunshine Baker must choose between solving the mystery and losing her job. Sunshine feels unusually equipped despite having no prior detective experience, thanks to her ninja YA librarian talents and all those Nancy Drew books she read as a youngster. Sunshine and her colleagues explore Bryce Beach for suspects, clues, and the stolen riches with the assistance of children’s librarian Molly Simmons and cataloguer Evangeline Dupree. Can Sarah and her team reclaim the funds raised at the library’s annual fundraising gala, as well as Bryce Beach’s most valuable historical item, the Bible with the signatures of the town’s founding fathers?

I loved every page of it. I can’t wait to read the rest of the other books in this series.

Oh, My Goodness! I could not put down the book. I could relate to the main character and some of her problems and living in a small town. The story was easy to follow and I could not guess the ending of the mystery. For me the book as a good homework break to be able to relax and then get back to it. I cannot wait for the next one to see what happens and where the author, K.I. Montgomery, takes the series.

What an utterly fun read for a lazy afternoon! This little mystery has great characters, a well-timed plot, and an engaging mystery for readers to solve along with Sunny Baker. As noted, it does have a “grown-up Nancy Drew” feel to it, and made for a captivating story. The heroine, a 42-year-old librarian in a small beach town was relatable and fun, an ardent supporter of reading and comfortable in her own skin. I liked that she had a bit of sass and jumped into rescuing her library despite some fears she had. While this is called a Christian mystery, you certainly don’t need to be Christian in order to enjoy it. Sunny is a woman with faith, but the book doesn’t centre around this – it’s just an aspect of her personality. If you are looking for a fun cozy book to curl up with today, this might be the one!

If you love Nancy Drew then you are going to love Ms. Montgomery’s Betrayal at The Beach. I was originally drawn to this book by the front cover, it’s colors and beach theme really drew me in,  but once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. It has everything that a good cozy mystery book should have including a great sleuth, and her friends, a mystery that will have you guessing until the end, and a wonderful meaning. As with many of Ms. Montgomery’s stories the meaning behind this one is all about body positivity and I love it. If you are looking for a warm and cozy mystery book to curl up with on a rainy day then I highly recommend Betrayal at The Beach.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sunshine Baker work in the Bryce Beach Public Library as a YA and she has been working with the Friends of the Library Committee to organise and throw their yearly Gala to raise funds for the library, as well as her role at the library itself and has been enjoying every minute of it and as the night of the gala arrives, she is hoping that everything will go well and that the invitees will enjoy the evening. From the start it looks like everyone is having fun and the catering, magician act and music are keeping everyone entertained, when the food is served and she finds out that she has to make the first speech and introductions, she is terrified, but manages to get through it and the rest of the evening inscathed, that is until after they have counted the donations and are presenting the total to the audience when there is a crashing of glass and a scream where the crowd is shocked into panic. The Founding Fathers Bible, a priceless artifact has been stolen and when Sunshine goes to check on the donations in the locked room, she is devastated to find out that they have been stolen too.

The police are called and statements are made, but when she arrives at work on the Monday morning, the Chief of Police is there to see her and ask her some questions, however, she is surprised to find out that they suspect one of the employees and that they need the information of all who had access to the room that the donations were being kept in, whether they were at the Gala or not. This has Sunshine worrying and this is increased even more when she goes to see the head of the Library and is asked for her opinion and then to look into it in her own time as well. This spurs her onto asking questions of her friends Evangeline and Molly, drawing up a list of attendees and talking through the events of the night again, but all this does is throw suspicion around with no strong leads bar one, so the next day Molly and Sunshine make plans to talk to them, but in a non-threatening way to try and glean some more information from them about that night. As these conversations take place, more tidbits and accusations are thrown around which are making Sunshine feel even more uncomfortable as they are mostly pointing towards one of her friends and another colleague as the police appear to be less than interested.

As the stakes are raised and jobs are on the line, will Sunshine and her amateur sleuthing skills solve the mystery before jobs and a priceless artefact are lost forever? This is a cozy mystery which will keep you guessing through to the end as the hunt for answers throws light upon a small community with secrets and stories to tell.

Betrayal at the Beach is the first book in the Dangerous Curves series by K.L Montgomery. This is something a little different to what Ms. Montgomery has done in the past- as this is a cozy Christian mystery, so I wasn’t sure of what to expect, but knew anything she wrote was going to be good- and of course, it was.
I loved the setting, Bryce Beach, a small town beach community- as well as all the quirky and interesting inhabitants of the town. It was the perfect setting and cast for a cozy mystery, so I was hooked right from the start.
Sunshine Baker is one of the local librarians who has worked incredibly hard on the annual fundraising gala hoping to raise enough funds to keep the library running. As the night arrives, Sunshine hopes everything will run smoothly as there is a lot riding on the night’s success. Just when Sunshine begins to think the night couldn’t have been better, a robbery brings the festivities to a screeching halt. Not only has the thief taken the large amount of donations, but also a priceless antique that is steeped in historical significance for all the township. It is now up to Sunny, and her friends, to get to the bottom of it all, to find the thief and return the funds and heirloom, before it’s too late.
This was such a fun little adventure and a fantastic start to a wonderful new series. I can’t wait for book #2.

Thank you, K.L Montgomery!

Betrayal at the Beach by K.L. Montgomery a thrill of a five-star read. This has it all, a great story, librarians, and a mystery thrown in for good measure. I adore this author and all of the hats they wear; I enjoy how each story has its own details, there isn’t a scene that doesn’t fit, just because it may be what they are known for, it adds more power to each story. I started this one after being on a massive reading binge and was expecting that my great reading would start to slow, but this just added more excitement to my reading, it kept me guessing and just added to my love of reading overall. I am always excited to see a librarian as a character in a story and this gave me joy in spades.

KL Montgomery is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to inclusive and sweet romance reads. When I saw that her newest series had a curvy redheaded librarian at the helm of a cozy mystery I knew I had to get my hands on it and as soon as it dropped. I was so excited that I opened this book in the evening the moment the kiddos went to bed and I actually had it wrapped up and finished later that night. It was SO SO good I just could not put this down. I’m talking my kindle came with me to the bathroom, that good! Not sorry either lol. Sunshine is just about everything I wanted to be in a past life I think. I always have wanted to be a librarian a bit and this made me feel as if I was living vicariously with the vivid descriptions and chapters that made me feel as if I was right there with the characters experiencing everything as it happened in Bryce Beach. I am so thrilled to come back to this series in the near future again and again. The best part is this is a series I feel will be perfect to share with my growing and blossoming teen and pre-teen daughters. I think they will love this one and it has some underlying lessons that can be learned for them that will be well worth the investment of the time. This is one series you do not want to miss!

Betrayal at the Beach by K. L. Montgomery is the first in the Dangerous Curves Series. Sunshine Baker is a Young Adult Librarian in Bryce Beach. This year, she is planning the annual Gala. Since the funds at the library have been cut short, the Gala is the only hope of maintaining the library and it’s employees. When the Bible signed by the town’s founders and the proceeds from the Gala go missing, Sunshine makes it her personal mission to find the person responsible.

This is a feel good, must read! I love the way body positivity and Christianity were both encompassed in this story. Light-hearted and a joy to read.

I really like this author and I was really looking forward to this story and as usual I wasn’t disappointed. It was such a lovely book to read, the story flowed really well and I loved the characters. Sunshine really was a joy to read about, she certainly lived up to her name! I loved the mystery of the storyline and it definitely kept my interest throughout. One of the many things I love about this author is how she makes her characters so body positive, it really makes her characters so relatable – I just adore the way in which she writes.
I loved this book; it is definitely one of my favourites from this author and as always, I can’t wait for her next book release! Betrayal at the Beach is a must read and I highly recommend it!

Betrayal at the Beach (Dangerous Curves Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Angela Packard

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OH MY GOODNESS!!! This was a great read!! I am huge on watching mystery shows and still missed the clues on whodunit. Sunshine is distraught that the town’s most prized treasure; the town’s Bible with the founding father’s signatures in it, and the proceeds of the gala she had orchestrated to help the library stay open are stolen. Only the town’s elite people, members of the library foundation, and the library employees are at the gala where they were stolen from. Who would have done such a thing? Will the police listen to her views and ideas?
The main characters in this book just jump off the page. I would be friends with them. I love that the book ends with an extra mystery, I am very encouraged to read the next book, so maybe I can solve the case.

5 +++++ Stars

The Cozy Mystery genre has quickly become one of my favorites recently and when I saw that one of my favorite authors ever had one coming out I absolutely had to have it. Then I realize it’s going to be a series!! Win, Win!!

I had really high hopes for this book and in Classic KL Montgomery fashion those were met and included more. I loved this book…I felt like Sunshine’s right hand man on this one, I suspected everyone and couldn’t put the story down until I knew how it ended. Then I was left with yet another mystery I see coming in the future. I loved Mom and Dad, they made me smile, and I’m left with a lot of curiosity about Chief James. I can not wait for the next book to be available, and I love the covers on these books, they seem so inviting, and they will look so nice on my bookshelf!

I will absolutely read anything this author comes out with, she has written 2 of my favorites of all time and I can’t recommend her and her books enough.

Read this! You won’t be sorry!

Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery by K.L. Montgomery is the first in the Dangerous Curves Book series. I was excited when I saw this book because I have loved all of the other books by this author so naturally I HAD to get my hands on it and it didn’t disappoint. I was pulled in by Bryce and Sunshine’s story and the mystery they found themselves in. They were awesome main characters and I enjoyed them alot. Great book to spend my afternoon reading and I am excited for more by this wonderful author. I would definitely recommend to anyone that loves a good cozy mystery!
HAPPY READING!

Montgomery continues to be a one click author for me and this entry into the cozy mystery genre was a grand slam home run. Everything about this book was sheer perfection. From the sassy and quirky heroine to the setting to the pacing to the character development, every component of this book just complimented the next. This quick light hearted whodunit will leave you smiling and wanting more. If you are looking for a clean, fun, cozy mystery to curl up with, you have found a winner. Bring on the rest of the series STAT!
