Bride or Die

Claire Hartley Accidental Mystery, Book 1

By: Madison Score

Narrated by: Lila Winters

“At best, it was going to be a very long day. At worst, she might end up in jail for running Luke over with her car.”

Proposal planner Claire Hartley thought calling off her own wedding would be the most traumatic event of her year. But when her ex-college roommate vanishes without a trace and Claire begins receiving mysterious threats, she realizes she has bigger problems.

Could she be the next victim of West Haven’s suspected serial killer?

Her only escape from the imminent danger is her adorably derpy rescue corgi and her job as the city’s most awarded marriage proposal planner. Unfortunately work turns into a war zone when she’s forced to collaborate on the biggest project of her career with a hunky, grumpy filmmaker. In addition to six-pack abs, he’s got one big secret and way too many opinions.

Claire can’t afford to wait for the police to solve this case. The clock is ticking and the threats against her are escalating.

Can her meticulous organizational and research skills help her catch a killer before she becomes the next victim?

Equally important, will she make it through her best friend’s surprise proposal without murdering—or falling for—the annoyingly handsome filmmaker?

Cute and hilarious RomCom

Flirty and banter are so adorable in this one! Narrator nailed the whole story! Can’t wait to see what Madison releases next! Congrats girl! First published book!

Good debut novel!

The story was good and engaging. Luke’s character could have used more development. The supporting characters were great. Don’t know that I’d agree with the other reviews that would call it a romantic comedy. Probably my fault for jumping to that conclusion based on the reviews. There were lots of laughs surrounding a dark mysterious plot with a splash of romantic interest. Definitely worth a read.

Enjoyable read!

I enjoyed the story - GREAT banter between Claire and Luke which I loved! There were a few places that slowed down, but overall great pace with the story - I was able to guess "whodunit." Must add that Rosie sounds like the most adorable dog ever! Also, narration was perfect - huge Lila Winters fan.

Thrilmantical thrilling romantic and hysterical!

Such a great read! It had me swooning, laughing and standing on my toes! So well done!
