A Good Day for Chardonnay

From the New York Times bestselling author Darynda Jones comes the second novel in her laugh-out-loud Sunshine Vicram mystery series, A Good Day for Chardonnay. Running a small-town police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth, carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff—and even fuller-time coffee guzzler—Sunshine Vicram, didn’t get that memo. All Sunshine really wants is one easy-going day. You know, the kind that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with take-out pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out, that’s about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do that? And who hurt them?) Before she can say iced mocha latte, Sunny’s got a bar fight gone bad, a teenage daughter hunting a serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of her own abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a dangerous bad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows he’s not the villain of her story. Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses the keys to her disappearance. At the very least, beneath it all, he possesses a serious set of abs. She’s seen it. Once. Accidentally. Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi which seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible raccoon that just doesn’t know when to quit, Sunny’s life is about to rocket to a whole new level of crazy. Yep, definitely a good day for chardonnay. Praise for the Sunshine Vicram series "Laugh-out-loud funny, intensely suspenseful, page-turning fun."--New York Times Bestselling author Allison Brennan "A Bad Day For Sunshine is a great day for the rest of us."--New York Times bestselling author Lee Child

A Novel

Sunshine is back in action in this follow-up to A Bad Day For Sunshine. This book answered so many questions we had leftover from the first and gave us, even more, to worry about for the (hopefully) next book in the series. I absolutely love Sunshine's relationship with her daughter, Auri. In this follow-up, we see Auri take the lead once again to solve the mystery of a decades-old serial killer right in her own town. Sunshine dives deeper into her own mysterious past, and of course, we get a very nice dose of Levi. 

Lorelei King's was absolutely perfect.

5/5 Stars! 

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for providing me with an audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

THIS BOOK WAS SOOO GOOD!! I loved every. single. page.
It had me laughing out loud, feeling all of the feels, and falling even more in love with Levi Ravender. 
I didn't think I could love anyone more than Charlie and Reyes, but Sunshine and Levi are right at the top with them.. I love the entire town of Del Sol, and each and every resident that lives there.. except Clay.. Sunshines daughter Auri is investigating her own mystery, and ends up getting herself into a little bit of trouble. Her boyfriend Cruz is just the most amazing young man, he stands by her through everything and loves her for just who she is.. Sunshine finally gets some of the answers shes been looking for, and while in does end in a sort of cliff hanger it was the best kind.. and
 I can't wait to read it all over again.. Darynda Jones is one of those authors that I will forever buy and read each and every book she writes.. They just make me feel.. well all of the emotions.. but at the end Im always left with a feeling of satisfaction, and happiness.. 
If you havent started this series yet, you absolutely should..

So ludicrous and cheesy, yet so consumable. Was it great? No. If the next audiobook in the series was available, would I listen to it tomorrow? Probably. My enjoyment of these books is very mood-dependent; at another time, I'm sure I'd be more annoyed by them, but right now my brain likes this junk food content.
