I really enjoy this fun cozy mystery series. This author is prolific and writes other cozy mysteries under different names and I have enjoyed all of them. this was a great entry to the series and I am looking forward to the last in the series next year.

I love Bree Baker. I have read all the stories in this series. Oh my goodness! I need to know more, can’t wait for the next book to come out!

I loved this installment, had just the right amount of intrigue, suspense, and even romance. I am so sad that the series ends soon. I wish the publishers would change their minds.

As I have said before one of my favorite things about the books is the sense of family, friendship, and how the community comes together. This time was no different, Everly tries to clear Matt of Murder by asking questions that land her in hot water with Grady. I just love all the characters and could totally see them in a hallmark mystery on tv.

I highly recommend this series to all my cozy mystery-loving friends

I grew up in Florida, and though I hated the heat, I love visiting beach towns in cozy mysteries. I especially enjoy Everly on Charm Island and her iced tea shop. This is a great escape cozy with a tricky, twisty plot, quirky characters, and plenty of emotion.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was an enthralling cozy mystery with believeable characters and a quaint small beach town setting. This is my first Everly Swan mystery, and I look forward to reading more. I highly recommend this book to other cozy mystery readers.

Mystery novels are my go-to when I’m looking for a quick read. Cozy mysteries are even better at filling these gaps in my reading. This book definitely falls into that category. It is also part of a series, and I have not read the earlier installments. I came into this book unfamiliar with the characters and setting.

Author Bree Baker does a great job of setting up character and setting in a way that catches the reader up on the series without over-explaining (for the most part). If you start with book 6 like me, you won’t feel lost at sea. The only thing I can think of that might be spoiled by reading out of order is the romantic element.

The main problem I had with characterization in this novel is the focus on the protagonist’s weight and size. Granted, many women’s thoughts focus on their body size and weight (which is a big cultural issue that I have a lot of problems with), but I felt adding those details in did nothing to help me better know the character of Everly Swan. The size of her pants has no bearing on the plot of the novel, the course of her romance, or the success of her business. It could have very easily been left out. The references left this narrative feeling a little out of touch in our current “body positive” or “health at any size” cultural movements.

That said, I enjoyed this book for the fun, quick read it is. The mystery itself was enough to keep me reading, and I enjoyed the relationships that were established throughout the book. Don’t open this book hoping for a deep, thought-provoking read. Take it for what it is and enjoy the cozy ride through the Outer Banks.

This is a great summer cozy mystery that features Everly Swan and friends.
The mystery is solid and I enjoyed most of the characters.
I will be looking forward to the next book.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.

I've read and enjoyed every single title in Bree Baker's Seaside Café Mystery series, and I couldn't wait to dive into the newest. This installment included each and every element I've come to love about this series, and features a well rounded mystery that kept me guessing from the get go.

Perhaps my favorite part of picking up this series is the strong sense of family and friendship that is always heavily portrayed, and this installment was no exception. Grady and Everly are finally officially a couple, but a wrench is about to be thrown into everything when a pro surfer is murdered, and Everly's friend Matt is the prime suspect. Grady wants Everly nowhere near the murder, but how can she sit back and do nothing when one of her closest friends is being accused of a crime he couldn't have possibly committed.

I loved getting another visit to Charm, and I enjoyed the tea shop, the many secondary characters that have started to feel like old friends like Everly's aunts Clara and Fran, Denise, Amelia, Ryan, etc., the budding romance between Everly and Grady, Everly's persistent and pesky fitness bracelet, and her many convo's with good old Lou and Maggie.

I have to say that certain events near the ending had me gasping out loud, and the way this one ends has me slightly panicking that I have to wait months for the next book release.

Overall, I really adored this title, and thought it was another great addition to the series. My only complaints would be that I didn't think the secondary characters, other than Matt and Grady, played much of a part in this one, and also, I thought some of Everly's antics were a bit over the top and didn't seem quite as believable as they had in previous books.

Regardless, it was still a great read and a great addition to the series, and I will anxiously be awaiting book seven.

Final Rating: 4/5.

Thanks so much to Poisoned Pen Press for allowing me to advance read and review this!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Great series and author. Bree baker also known as Julie Anne Lindsey is one of my favorite authors and if you haven't read this series yet I highly recommend doing so. I also suggest reading her books in order

A great summertime cozy mystery. I love the cover! As a fan of iced and sweet tea, I wish Everly's shop was real and nearby. Yum!

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

She is one of my favorite cozy writers and her latest book Partners in Lime did not disappoint. The cover art is fantastic too. The setting is one of my favorite things about cozy mysteries and I love the beach setting. I'm addicted to tea so this series always makes me want to try something new and fun :)

I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. I liked the mystery of the plot though I was not fond of some of the characters.

Another great addition to the series! Well developed characters. Great plot that keeps your attention. Set in a town that I so want to visit! Loved it. Please keep them coming ❤ Thanks #netgalley and #PoisonedPenPress for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

I discovered this series a couple of months ago and I fell in love! Everything about this series is perfect for me- the characters, the setting, the relationships and the mysteries. Cozy mysteries are my go to genre and this series is the best!

Come on in Y'all and enjoy a fast paced and well crafted mystery in the town of Charm, in the Outer Banks.
Everly is enjoying life running her beachside iced tea shop. Her Aunt Fran has been elected Mayor of Charm and her relationship with Detective Grady Hays is heating up. The latter thanks to the fact there has been no reason for her to use her amateur sleuthing skills in the past several months.

That is all about to change when a pro surfer who is town is found dead and her her friend, and town EMT, is a suspect. Everly is going to help her friend in spite of Grady's objections to her meddling in his cases.

This is fast paced and a well crafted mystery. I love all the characters in this series and their relationships with each other. We get to find out more about EMT Matt's past, a surprise for Amelia and a vintage yellow VW but named Dharma.

Whenever I read one of them, I feel like I am returning to town full of old friends. Ms. Baker needs to write faster, I can't wait for the next one! LOL

This is the 6th book in the series but can easily be read as a stand alone.

I requested and received an Advanced Readers Copy from #Poison Pen Press and #NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I have read all the books in this serious and dutifully wait for the next one. This one certainly did not disappoint.

Everly Swan just cannot help getting involved in murder investigations. This puts a strain on her relationship with Charm's detective and boyfriend, Grady Hayes. This time a famous surfer is murdered and Everly's friend Matt is the prime suspect. Everly's curiosity propels her to get involved and her determination grows as the evidence against Matt piles up. Can she solve the murder before she winds up in another dangerous situation?

These books always make me feel happy. I would love to visit Everly's historic home and darling tea shop. I base a lot of how much I like cozies on if I would want to befriend the main character and I would love to be friends with this one, her aunts and the other supporting characters in the book. This one hit me right in the feels.

I strongly recommend NOT starting with this book if you have not read the earlier books in the series, as a lot of the plot builds on previous books and it makes the emotional impact more significant if you know the history of the characters. Plus, I hope you will be delighted to visit Charm and catch up on the previous stories.

I am raving about this book but why the four stars? I thought some of the tactics Everly employs throughout the story were just a little too ridiculous. I can understand people speaking to a tea proprietor and town hangout but I almost felt that sometimes Everly's quest for information was intrusive and obnoxious, so I am docking one star.

That does not mean I do not hope for many, many more books in this series! I hope to see another one soon!!

The sixth book in the Seaside Cafe cozy series was charming as usual. Partners in Lime is as quaint as the pervious five, can stand alone but the others give context to the well developed characters. Bree Baker has this series on lock and I can’t wait for more.

Another heart-racing instalment in the Seaside Café Mystery series. This is the 6th book and I confess to not enjoying it as much as the previous ones. I used to really like Everly but she's becoming a bit obnoxious and self-involved. The dialogue with her boyfriend reveals an arrogance and selfishness about her need to investigate that I didn't notice in the beginning. Hopefully she'll become more thoughtful towards Grady. The great-aunts are still wonderful, although featured less, and the town of Charm is still charming. I will continue to gobble this series up whenever a new book is published.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

This has become a favorite series in my list! I need more and soon!
Everly is a friend that everyone needs to have. She is so loyal and protective of family and friends. In this one when Matt is under suspicion of murder she jumps in to help.
I loved this mystery, characters and the town of Charm!
