3.5

This is a 3.5 review.  This is the second book I have read in the series. I enjoyed the first book more.  In this one Parker and Reid are now a couple and Parker is meeting Reid's family for the time.  Her winery and his restaurant are successful and they both want to impress his family with food and wine.  The dinner is a disaster and Reid is arrested for murder.  Parker decides the police have given up investigating so she does it herself.  I did find it unusual that Sage would represent Reid considering she works for a judge.  There are a lot of descriptions of clothes, wine and food and not a lot of mystery.  I found the mystery very easy to solve as there were not a lot of suspects.  The Colorado setting is fun and I did like some of the supporting characters. Overall it was a nice easy to read cozy.
