Love Found in California by Melissa Rolka

The old Hollywood quotes at the beginning of each chapter was a nice touch. You have to love Doris Day & the mentions of her. What more could you ask for? ) Okay, maybe a bit more Spiritual Content (which was at a decent amount already) and a few less semi-detailed kisses. “Love Finds You in Carmel-By-The-Sea, California” (whew, that’s a mouthful!) was a sarcastic book with beagles! I’m a beagle owner, for those who don’t know, so I may be a bit biased about books with my favorite breed in them. Whatever slight disappointment I had on that first page was quickly gone. My personal Rating- Three Stars (and a half)įor some reason, I thought this was a historical. *Note: A couple mentions of bras & curves.

Will this one land her in the arms of her own leading man?” Just when everything in Annie's screen-worthy plan teeters on the brink of disaster, she has another epiphany.

But Annie's new boss is no Humphrey Bogart, and the work isn't quite what she pictured. Next up: landing an exciting job as a private investigator's assistant. First, Annie moves into the picturesque Carmel bungalow belonging to her grandmother - a retired film star.
