My Review:
Hair Calamities and Hot Cash is a funny lighthearted romance that will definitely make you laugh out loud. The characters were easy to follow and are definitely likable. I enjoy small time romances, so this book was definitely one I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

I received this book free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion. If you like funny cozy mysteries, then this is the book for you.

Hair Calamities and Hot Cash was not what I expected. I thought it would be more of a humorous romp, instead it is a romantic mystery. It was an ok book for me. Wish it could have bern more.

An entertaining light romantic mystery. The meet cute was clever. Sure, one may have to park your realism at the door to the hair salon, but this was exactly was I was in the mood to read.

I had heard that this book was a funny light hearted romance, but unfortunately it fell short for me. I really had to push myself to read this and found the pace slow and not all that entertaining. I found the dialogue awkward and stilted making it even harder to read. There were some sweet moments that left me smiling, however I don't think christian romance is for me.
If you like a sweet christian romance, give this book a go

This was an Ok book. Not exactly what I was expecting, especially from the title. I guess I was looking for something more humorous. All in all it ended up being a sweet romance.

A sweet romance with a few funny escapades. Entertaining light comedy/mystery.

Hair Calamities and Hot Cash by Gail Pallotta is a funny mystery. Stockbroker Phillip Wells comes crashing through Eve Castleberry’s hair salon but that is just the beginning. Eve’s products have been tampered with somehow and threatening notes are showing up. Phillip is from New York and somewhat out of place in tiny Triville in the North Carolina mountains. Phillip and Eve become friends as the damage is assessed and he has to stay while his rental car is repaired. Mysterious happenings continue and they become partners in trying to figure out what is going on. Is someone out to sabotage Eve or Phillip or both of them?
I enjoyed this book and had a good laugh as I read it. I don’t want to give too much away but consider your worst day at the hair salon happening over and over. I give this book 5 of 5 stars. It is a fun read; the characters are realistic and the ending has a logical conclusion.
I received an advance copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

This was a cute, Christian based romance set in a small town. The description of the book made me believe this book would be different than it was, however, I still really enjoyed reading this book. Eve and Phillip were both great characters and their romance was very sweet. I was hoping the hair calamities in the book would be humorous, but oddly, they weren't. I think that would have made the story better. Overall it's a sweet romance that readers will enjoy.

Hair Calamities and Hot Cash was a book that was far from what I had imagined it to be. It was supposed to be a fun light hearted romance with a pinch of mystery and chaos of robbery. It was neither a romance (light hearted or otherwise) nor any mystery. I struggled from the very first chapter and would have put it down if it wasn’t for this review.

Certain things perplexed me to no end.

1. Blazing fast attraction between characters on the very first they met.

2. She starts dreaming about the guy she met yesterday, barely talked to and knew almost nothing about. They kiss and I think that was meant to be romantic. Too bad, it failed miserably. Eve wasn’t the only one floating in a dream world. Philip was right there to keep her company.

3. Impossibly agonizing question marks at the end of every fourth sentence.

I get that annoyingly shitty writing is somehow supposed be stylistic. But it was enough to make me throw the book out of the window and spit on it twice. What made the author write so many sentences that ended with a question mark? Did she think the book was going for a psychiatrist analysis? (Oh yeah! This book is affecting me).

Forget about character development, the author did as well. There was no pace to the story. There were some (or too many) talks/chats/incidents that were totally unnecessary and just added to the pages and boredom of the book. The writing was incompetent and lacked anything that could be called even slightly absorbing.

Hair Calamities and Hot Cash by Gail Pallotta is my first book by this author. First of all, I didn't realize this book was a christian romance, which I don't enjoy reading. I found the story to be slow paced and had to push my way through. This book was just not for me. If you enjoy christian fiction, give this book a try.

I reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you.

This book made me laugh and smile a lot. It's a fun read, engrossing and entertaining.
I liked the style of writing, the fleshed out cast of characters and the humour.
The plot kept me hooked till the end.
It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Kindle Copy for Review from Net Galley and Pelican Book Group .

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

It is an amusing story of the antics of a beauty shop that leads to a hair rising day for the owner. As hair products suddenly do not work as advertise which slowly morphine into a calamity that is out of a control.

Not to help matters an out of town stockbroker crashes his car in the store window and in the mix love finds away to blossom in the least likely manner. Love. will strike when we least expect
