*Thank you to Macmillian,Darynda Jones and Netgalley for providing me an E-ARC of "A Good Day For Chardonnay" in exchange for an honest review*

I'm so excited to talk about this book! I've loved Darynda's blend of humor, mystery and steaminess since I read First Grave on The Right and A Good Day for Chardonnay has the perfect mix of all 3. I loved going back to Sunshine and the gang. I especially love Sunshine and Auri's banter.

I have to say the Darynda Jones' latest works have all been amazing. I absolutely fell in love with her Charley Davidson series and now, after reading book 2 in her Sunshine Vicram series, I can honestly say that she has me hooked on this one as well.

There is always such humor, or maybe I should say snarkiness (is that a word?) or banter in her books that make me smile every time I read one. Last night, I was reading this in bed - late at night because I kept telling myself...ONE more chapter, just one more....okay, maybe just another one....

So, I'm laying in bed trying to read as quietly as possible, as my husband is asleep beside me.... and what happens? She makes me laugh. Not just a quick chuckle, but an almost full out giggle that I just couldn't stop. It was like 4:30 in the morning and I literally had to put my hand over my mouth because I just couldn't stop the sound. If that isn't talent, I don't know what the heck is. The snappy dialog between Sunshine and Auri is priceless. At times, both priceless, hilarious and so down right sweet I just want to melt. But, that Auri. I sure am glad my kids are adults now because I remember those teenage years, and Auri is one smart cookie. Sunshine is going to have her hands full with that one. And I can not wait to watch it happen!

Without going into spoilers, a heck of a lot happens in this book. There are certainly more dead bodies in Sunshine's town than is the norm and Auri somehow keeps finding herself in the middle of things. There is the continuation of the over-arching plot from book 1 (if you've read the first book you know what that is) and then there are a couple of other things and mysteries that just seem to pop up and demand attention. All in all, this book kept me hooked from beginning to end (remember, I was still reading at 4:30 am...)

There is also something WONDERFUL that happens near the end of this book. No spoilers, remember? But, boy did I want to do a happy dance but alas, I had already almost woken my hubby with the laughing, I couldn't in good conscience chance anything else (but I sure did want to )

And in true DJ style, this author just slays me with the last line in the book.

ARGH.......!!!!! Double GRRR.......!!!!!!

But, I have faith in Ms. Jones and her ability to create a great world with amazing characters, fantastic relationships and one heck of an interesting plot (or actually I should say PLOTS). So I guess I'm now going to patiently wait for book 3. What other choice do I have?

I received this ARC from NetGalley in return for my honest opinions, and that is what you get. I can't remember when this book officially comes out, but I would not hesitate to tell anyone who is interested to start this series if you haven't already. It is not a stand alone, so you have to start with book 1, but you will not be sorry. See, my honest opinion :)

In this second Sunshine Vicram mystery, her teenage daughter is hunting a serial killer, there is a raccoon who is terrorizing her deputy, and she is still trying to solve the mystery of her own abduction years prior. All Sunshine wants is an easy-going day that starts with coffee and doughnuts and ends on the couch with a glass of Chardonnay. Is that too much for a girl to ask?
I love these books. They are laugh-out-loud funny. Sunshine is both kick-butt, and lots of fun. She has a sarcastic sense of humor, and a distinct way of looking at things, that will keep you laughing. This is perfect for anyone who loves a good mystery and loves to laugh.

I’m exchange for my honest review.

I’ve been waiting non so patiently to get my hands on this book. I really wish I had a friend who was also reading it but she sucks and hasn’t started her ARC yet. Anywho I’ll be twiddling my thumbs waiting for the messages to start.

Ok so we all know that book one left us wondering lots of things and soooo left us waiting for this book. And oh did it spill the tea. Not only did this book spill all the tea. And I do mean alll the tea..... this book just keeps you on the edge of your seat as it tangles you up in its spider web giving you bits and pieces while the other characters keep giving you mini heart attacks. Sooo there is not a single dull moment in this book.

Now last of all. What in the absolute fuckery is it with the last lines in daryndas freaking books. Are you kidding me right now. I wanted to throw my phone at the wall. (But I kind of live on my phone so....) I want to hate you. But I can’t cause darynda is kinda awesome and I need more of her books so I won’t send any hit and her way. (You’ll find this funny after you read the book) maybe......

Ugh I need book 3......

A great mystery or thriller with a side of Chardonnay. I absolutely love the main character in this book it was enthralled to find out what happens next. I highly recommend this enjoyable read.

Totally devoured this! I have read everything Jones has written and absolutely loved it, ESPECIALLY Charley and the gang...BUT...I think Sunshine, Levi, Auri, and Cruz have actually taken over the number #1 spot! I absolutely love this this series. It is laugh out loud funny! The characters are so wonderful and engaging. The story pulls you in and just doesn't let you go. My only regret is that now I need to wait for the 3rd installment!
