Perfect Timing by Valerie J. Patterson

When the timing is perfect, your heart will know.

Five Stars – A Fun, Twisty Ride with Romance and Mystery!

“Dani, our fearless, beautiful and fiercely independent private investigator, immediately pulls you into the story with her quick wit, bold actions, and relentless determination. With deep roots in her male dominated family and a new spark with the charming Edwin “Tut” she’s constantly keeping us on our toes. Whether she’s hiding in trash cans or donning wild disguises, she’ll do whatever it takes to uncover the shady dealings threatening her town’s beloved toy store.”

“The chemistry between Dani and Mr. Tut is electric from the start. Their banter is sharp and fun, and the romantic tension is perfectly balanced with the danger surrounding them. Plus, Dani’s overprotective brothers add another layer of tension and laughs! He never knows what reaction he’s going to get!”

“This story feels like watching The Rookie or one of your favorite detective shows with the romance and small town vibes of Virgin River fast-paced, full of twists and turns, and just the right amount of heart. A total page-turner with a great mix of action, romance, and humor. I could picture every scene so vividly, and I didn’t want it to end! Highly recommend!” Ashley Miller, Inverted Reviews

When private detective, Danielle Svensen, investigates a case, she does everything she can to solve it. Even if it means sitting surveillance inside a trash can. When her new client, Hank Hennessy, owner of Hennessy Toys, asks her to go undercover, she readily agrees. The pizza parlor beside Hennessy’s flagship store has been causing problems for the toy store. From vandalism and theft to scaring off the night staff. There’re rumors of illegal activity, but no solid proof. The board of directors is threatening to close the store to avoid additional losses caused by the parlor. Hank Hennessy is fighting to prevent his family from losing this huge piece of familial history. Dani’s stellar reputation and ability to solve even the toughest case prompts Hank to hire her. He’s counting on Dani finding the evidence he needs to take down the pizza joint before it puts an end to Hennessy’s. While pulling an all-night stakeout inside the toy store, Dani’s got some guests she wasn’t expecting. Will the new man in her life, Detective Sergeant Edwin Tutlow, come to her rescue?

“From the first page you can feel the chemistry between Dani and Tut. It’s fun and entertaining to see how their personal and professional relationships grow. A bit of romance intertwined with a bit of danger and excitement. A heartwarming enjoyable read that keeps you wanting more.” –Lisa Patterson

“Perfect Timing is just that, timed perfectly! The interplay between Dani and Tut is fun and playful. They make a terrific couple and a great crime solving duo. Readers will be on edge, waiting to hear of their next adventures.” –KH Leonard
