Summary

What can happen when two redheads meet and fall for each other?

Miller Hollenbeck - She’s in a job which she hates. In her spare time, she loves to upcycle furniture.

Miller Hollenbeck dropped the screw she was about to tighten with her electric drill and it slipped to the floor. The door dropped away from her hand and fell over onto her shoulder. She swore loudly and expressively and pushed the door to one side as she retrieved the escapee screw. Hanging doors was something she had learned how to do but it was never easy. Dressed in her favorite attire of jeans and a skimpy tee with a tool belt around her waist, Miller was determined to make this house just the way she imagined. She wanted to do it herself. As she straightened, she jumped as a voice spoke from the front porch.

Jules Callander - He’s a successful photographer, but his family has somewhat dubious connections.

“Jules is one fantastic photographer. Just so natural at it. His prints sell for big money.” Miller was curious after Evan’s remarks about his friend. As she sat with a drink before crawling between the sheets, she pulled up Jules Callander’s name on the web. “Wow,” she said out loud. “He is actually really famous and he was impressed by my handiwork. Well there’s a compliment I can live with.” She switched off the tablet and her eyes closed almost immediately. The work in the house and the evening meal at Jazz’s house was taking its toll. Sleep washed over her like a comfortable blanket. The last image in her head was Jules Callander pointing his tiny camera at her and the new front door.

Picture perfect

This is a fun cozy mystery with plenty of suspects to keep you guessing as to what is going on. It has a little bit of romance to make the characters more real. Its the type of book you can sit back and enjoy with out it being complicated and long winded just right for car rides as you can easily pick up from where you left off. The characters were fun and obversely have a history but I started with this book so might have to go back a few books to learn more.
Miller is stuck in a job she hates but when a handsome man delivers a potted plant to her new home as a gift from a friend she has know idea her life is turned upside down when he helps her hang up her new door. He is a photograph and likes what he sees, both the door and Miller. When he bets her he can sell the photo he has just taken it ends up in a gallery and she ends up with a date. But his family has other ideas for him and with an unwanted betrothed strange things start to happen to Miller and things get damaged. Will Miller's heart be one of them?
The narrator was easy to listen to and made the story fly by.

Baskerville Book Reviews

Much like with book 2 in this series, the ending feels cheapened. It was a lazy copy/paste for book 2, but in book 3 it’s just insultingly lazy, uninspired, and predictable.

Other than the sorry excuse of an ending, this is easily the most compelling of these books so far. The mystery is based around the romance so the protagonists have a decent amount of time to get to know each other and build chemistry. While the who is answered, the characters have to prove it while trying to just live their lives.

The narrator is good overall, but I’m always going to knock points for people who mispronounce basic words. “Onvelope” isn’t a word. Envelopes are called envelopes because they envelop something.

Good

Thank you to Storyorigin and publishers for the Audio book of Almost Picture Perfect by Olivia Swift.

My branching out into the Audio book world is off to a good start... The narrators voice is captivating and soothing, lulling me into the story.

Almost Picture Perfect follows Miller who turns her hand at up cycling and selling the products, She gets tangled up in trouble due to her friendship with Jules.
Jules' family think they're still old style mobsters and Glenda is just after his family's money.

This novel turns into a fast pace mystery, sometimes with the narration it was hard to keep track with all the different characters but the story was good enough to follow what was happening.
The characters were likeable, if not a little predictable, However this didn't take away from this little cozy mystery story.
