(3.5 Stars) Good Romance by Carmen Green

Someone is trying to ruin Zoe McNight's business, Zoe's Jewelry, and the opening of her next two stores. She has been robbed several times. After the last time she is robbed, Zoe enlists Hood Investigation to find out who is trying to sabotage her business. Zoe and co-owner Ben Hood had one mind blowing night of sex which caused Zoe to run from his bed. When she is attacked, Ben declares himself her personal bodyguard. So much for keeping him at a distance. Ben had decided that Zoe is the kind of woman he can settle down with, but Zoe has no desire to be in a relationship...or does she? The Perfect Solitaire is a good romance with a mix of mystery and action. It also has family betrayal with a surprising twist. The Perfect Solitaire is the first book in the Hood Family series. Green does a good job introducing each Hood family member which helps to pique interest for future books in the series. Reviewed by Tenecia for Urban Reviews

The Perfect Solitaire

This book kept your interest the entire time you were reading it. Good Job Carmen Green!!!

Perfect Solitaire

This story will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last. It has romance, love, drama and a whole lot of backstabbing from family to the one that you least expect. I was so tired after reading this book from trying to help Zoe and Ben figure out who was trying to destroy Zoe's business to making Zoe and Ben both realize that their relationship was more than a one night stand. I am now ready for the next book involving the awesome Hood family!
