Oftentimes cliched and occasionally shortsighted. I loved the premise and the concept of the characters but there was a missing spark.

Just not for me! I'm not the biggest fan of the writing and overall, it was a little bit boring and confusing at the same time. I flew through it and was glad once I was done, I do think some people will really like it though!

This book was super fun! I read it in one sitting and enjoyed the setting of a book festival. However, it was pretty dialogue heavy and it took a bit of time in the beginning for me to keep track of all of the characters. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

The small town of Fern Valley is hosting a "Love is in the Air' romance authors' event. Jules Keene, the owner of a glamping resort and head of the business council, finds herself in the midst of another murder mystery when a beloved romance author is found dead. This was an enjoyable light read. All the jealousy and underhandedness amongst the authors makes them all suspects, but what I really want to know is if any of the authors are based on real people?!

Jules Keene had her hands full organizing an event for writers, publishers, and fans themed 'Love is in the air.' They were supposed to have a wonderful glamping experience in the cozy village of Fern Valley, offering a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
As the guests arrive, drama unfolds and unfortunately, crime is in the air.
I enjoyed this clever and charming murder mystery. Having writers as characters was a great idea, they are intriguing and quirky. You can also expect suspense and humor. The setting is charming, with the glamping resort adding a unique twist to the typical cozy mystery backdrop.
Cozy murder mysteries are my favorites and this one did not disappoint. Thank you, Netgalley, for this arc. Since it's a series, I can't wait to see what adventures Jules finds herself in next!

Umm cuties! This was an easy cute read. Just read a really heavy difficult book and this was a nice palate cleanser.

First of all thank you for letting me get a first look at this book through an ARC on NetGalley. I found the characters somewhat flat and the book convoluted when it came to how many characters we were introduced to in such a short period of time. Ususally, that is fine but all the different characters somewhat read the same, which made it really challenging. The plot was predictable so the mystery aspect of this read unfortunately fell flat to me.

All in all i am sure there are readers out there who would truly enjoy this read! Unfortunately it was not for me.

A fun cozy-esque mystery. Ideal if you want a quick read with something to solve. I liked that it included writers and a book lovers community and overall found it very pleasant to read. My only thing I found to the contrary was there were a lot of characters almost to many to keep track of but that may just be a me problem. Id definitely pick up a read from this author again!

Although I love a cosy mystery, this book failed to hit the mark. The setting was promising - a glamping retreat with a Valentines literary book festival, however there were too many characters and random events going on. The main characters were quite superficial and (the majority) unlikeable and I struggled to be enthused by the storyline. Also - where was the romance?? My overall feeling is that this book lacked depth in all areas and would have been far more gripping if we had more detail and back story for the characters. If you are looking for a quick read that requires little effort to finish, then you will probably enjoy this, but don't expect too much. If you make it to the end however, there are some delicious recipes waiting for you!!
(Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC of this ebook).

I really enjoyed this cute and fun cozy mystery! Tuck in because the pace is a bit slow, but overall, this is a must read.

I'll admit this book failed to hold my attention. The setting was fine, the characters were okay, the mystery was fun.
Maybe I wasn't in the right mood for a romantic cozy mystery, because it just fell flat to me.
If you like small towns, romance and cozy mystery maybe this one is for you.

It was a very cute story, I say more 3 1/2 stars for me . This was an ARC read for me. I wish I knew the other books prior as there are so many characters to keep track of it was a bit overwhelming. I did enjoy the murder mystery and the story being about Authors. Does give you a little in-site as to how that works can be

2.75 stars

Thank you NetGalley and Level Best Books for the ARC.

'Deadlines and Valentines' was a fun, cosy murder mystery. It was slow-paced. There were a lot of characters for such a short book and I found it hard to keep track of everyone.

This was such a cozy thriller! I really enjoyed the small town glamping resort in the mountains of Virginia. It was so easy to imagine in my head since I am familiar with the areas that the book mentions. I had no idea what to expect with a thriller/mystery themed novel based on a valentines book festival. With several quirky, attitude-filled characters, this book did not disappoint.
I picked this book up not realizing that it was the fourth book in the series. I will definitely be adding the first three to my “to be read” list.

This was a fun one! It's a cute mystery and a quick read. I liked the Valentine's setting with the spooky vibes of the mystery/death. I like the lighthearted chaos and liked the writer's voice - it was well written.

Constructive feedback: I feel like with so many characters, maybe it could have been longer to really flesh things out a little more? And maybe even a little more detail on things like the festival events and resort setting.

If you like cozy mysteries, glamping, small towns in the mountains, book festivals, and Valentine’s day check this book out. This is the fourth book in the Jules Keene Glamping Mysteries. I enjoyed this book and since it was a murder mystery it was also perfect for the fall too.

All romance books are roses, chocolate, and steamy love scene but are they??

The number of characters in the book made it very difficult to keep up with and the fact all of the Authors had two names. That is my main reasoning for the 3 stars. This book definitely packed the drama and chaos. I will admit my guess for the actual suspect was hard to pinpoint. Author turned killer?? Publisher turned killer? Who done it?

Fern runs a glamping resort and they're planning a Love is in the Air” Book Festival. There are authors with attitude that don't get on with other authors. Then one is found dead with a knitting needle in her neck

Thank you to NetGalley, Heather Weidner and Level best books for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is a really cute and cosy murder mystery set in a hotel/glamping site in the midst of a Valentine’s Day Book Festival. Featuring a vibrant and eccentric cast this was a fun and light little read that made a good palette cleanser after reading a heavier book before it.

In my opinion, it has some issues with pacing and some clunky dialogue, but I can overlook that and say it was pretty enjoyable. This is perfect for anyone wanting to pick up a little cosy and festive mystery, definitely will be one I recommend in the darker winter months!

I enjoyed this read it was a really good murder mystery. It was a cosy thriller i don't normally enjoy thriller books as much as this but i think it had a story behind it and i was very invested in the characters. I liked the festival was a nice touch too i really enjoyed that. The cover and title is so stunning which is what made me request it in the first place and i'm really glad that i did.

This was a fun little murder mystery (and only around 200 pages, at least the ARC I read was only about 200 pages)! I finished it in an afternoon.

The writing style was fun and super easy to read, but I did find the dialogue to be a bit weird. It was another one of those situations where I found it to be a bit stilted and choppy.

There were also a lot of characters and for such a short book that was confusing. I had trouble keeping track of who was who a couple of times. But I don't know if that's a me problem or a problem that lots of other readers may experience.

A very cartoonish murder mystery (Valentines-themed, of course) that involves a little dating festival, a trip to a resort and a very popular author found dead!

If you're looking for a fun and festive lil romp, I would recommend this. But I still found myself wanting a bit more from it.

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review! My Goodreads review is up and my TikTok (Zoe_Lipman) review will be up at the end of the month with my monthly reading wrap-up.
