Another Saturday Night and I Ain't Got No Body (A Page Turners Novel Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Jennie Marts (Author), Jennie Marts (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 1,618 ratings

USA TODAY Bestselling author Jennie Marts brings you a cozy mystery series full of quirky characters and small town charm as the Page Turners book club turned amateur sleuth search for clues and romance...while eating really great desserts!

Sunny’s not sure she’s even looking for Mr. Maybe, when her friends decide to find her Mr. Right...

Sunny Vale considers herself a dog-loving, romance-reading, homebody. But her life goes from dull to deadly when her book club fires her from her own love life and sets her up on six blind dates- one of whom might be with a murderer. More trouble arrives in the dead of night, in the form of Jake Landon, a mysterious stranger, who breaks into her neighbor’s house and possibly her heart. But Jake is packing more than a loaded gun in his well-fitting Levi’s. He brings an arsenal of secrets and plenty of heat to Sunny’s ho-hum summer.
Jake Landon finds himself caught up in the capers of the sexy blonde in the house next door. But he has his own agenda which doesn’t involve playing hero to a curvy second-grade teacher and babysitting her panty-puking puppy. He's got other problems like fiery explosions, a missing person...and a parade of jerks Sunny insists on dating.
Could Sunny’s Mr. Right be right under her nose? Even though Jake is gorgeous, likes her dog, and has abs she can crack an egg on, can she really go out with him if he’s just murdered her next door neighbor?

"This book just might be the most fun I've had reading in years." -- Fic Central Reviews

Women of all ages will enjoy this cozy mystery series that blends romantic comedy, humorous women's fiction, and a whole book club full of amateur sleuths in this hilarious small town mystery.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jennie Marts is the USA TODAY Best-selling author of award-winning books filled with love, laughter, and always a happily ever after. Readers call her books “laugh out loud” funny and the “perfect mix of romance, humor, and steam.” Fic Central claimed one of her books was “the most fun I’ve had reading in years.”

She is living her own happily ever after in the mountains of Colorado with her husband, two dogs, and a parakeet who loves to tweet to the oldies. She’s addicted to Diet Coke, adores Cheetos, and believes you can’t have too many books, shoes, or friends.

Her books range from western romance to cozy mysteries but they all have the charm and appeal of quirky small town life. She loves genre-mashups like adding romance to her Page Turners cozy mysteries and creating the hockey-playing cowboys in the Cowboys of Creedence. The same small town community comes to life with more animal antics in her latest Creedence Horse Rescue series. And her sassy heroines and hunky heroes carry over in her heartwarming, feel good romances from Hallmark Publishing. Take the Honey and Run is her newest cozy mystery in the A Bee Keeping Mystery series.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2017
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    First time reading Jennie Marts' books, & I did enjoy it. This is a quick, light read with fun, romance & mystery.

    The book focuses on Sunny, a single thirty-something teacher. Her friends at the Page Turners Bookclub try to set her up with six dates during the summer holidays, with some hilarious results.

    Her neighbour Walter next door disappears & shortly after, a hunky guy claiming to be his grandson, moves into the property. Of course, Sunny is attracted to Jake's good looks & fab fit body, but when the police finds Walter's prized possessions in the aftermath of his garage explosion, is Jake the murderer?

    With an unknown stalker after her, & Sunny seriously falling for Jake, can he be trusted with her life & her heart?

    As I said, I enjoyed this book. I liked the characters & Ms Marts' writing. There was no sex or bad language, & I don't think there were any errors/ typos. I enjoyed reading about Sunny's friends & dates. It was a bit predictable (she was going to fall for someone!) & I could see her friends falling for certain "dates". I didn't realise who the stalker was until quite late on (yes, I was a bit slow!) & I certainly didn't expect the twist near the end of the book!

    This book centres around sunny and her dog!! Sunny is single and in need of a date so her 6 friends fix her up on dates for the next 6 Saturday's but love is closer than she thought. This books was an easy read and was a chic lit crossed with a who dunnit, it wasn't taxing to read but had enough going on to keep you interested.
    A good read that could be picked up as and when and you wouldn't lose the story plot.

    Sunny is a second grade school teacher and a member of the "Page Turners Book Club". The women who make up the rest of the book club decide to help Sunny find a man and each one of them sets her up on a date. Multiple dates leave Sunny with a string of unsuitable and in one case, dangerous dateable men. Her neighbour's shed has mysteriously gone up in smoke and the neighbour is missing!

    Yes, this is a very good book. All the characters in this book were amazing. You start reading and get all serious then all of a sudden poor Sunny does something and you just burst out laughing, and Edna, well what a character. This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I will certainly read the others in this series. I highly recommend this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Einfach nur super!

    Inhalt:
    Sunny, ihres Zeichens Grundschullehrerin, Hundeliebhaberin und Bücherwurm, meint ihren Wunsch nach mehr Spannung und Gefahr in ihrem Leben eigentlich nur halbernst. Spätestens als ihre Freundinnen aus ihrem Buchclub die Idee haben ihr über den Sommer sechs Dates organisieren, ist sie sich absolut sicher, dass sie diesen Wunsch gerne wieder zurücknehmen würde. Und als würde das noch nicht reichen, taucht auch noch mitten in der Nacht ein Fremder in ihrem Nachbarshaus auf. Sunny ist sich sicher, dass Jake mehr als nur ein Geheimnis hat und weiß nicht ob sie ihm vertrauen kann. Nichtsdestotrotz geht er ihr nicht mehr aus dem Kopf…

    Meinung:
    Eigentlich sagt die Überschrift schon alles aus. Das ist das absolut richtige Buch für euch, wenn ihr nach einem sucht, in dem ihr zusammen mit Charakteren, in diesem Fall Sunny und ihrem Buchclub, dem Verschwinden einer Person auf den Grund gehen und gleichzeitig lauthals lachen wollt. Und wenn ihr das nicht wollt, solltet ihr es trotzdem lesen, denn von spannend über romantisch bis hin zu zum Schießen lustig ist wirklich einfach alles dabei.

    Sunny tritt von einem Fettnäpfchen ins Nächste, was sie zu einer irgendwie putzigen, ein bisschen chaotischen und total liebenswerten Person macht. Ihre als Dates getarnten Abenteuer mitzuerleben war ein echtes Vergnügen, genauso wie die Entwicklung ihrer Beziehung zu Jake, insbesondere deren Anfang in einem Supermarkt. Diese Szene, und auch die darauf folgende, waren einfach urkomisch :)

    Jake ist ein Held wie jede Frau sich ihn wünscht. Groß und muskelbepackt, sieht dementsprechend umwerfend aus, trägt eine Waffe und ist trotzdem unglaublich aufmerksam, süß und besitzt einen ausgeprägten Beschützerinstinkt, ohne nervig oder aufdringlich zu werden. Außerdem scheint er wie durch Zauberei immer zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort zu sein, was das Ganze fast ein bisschen unglaubwürdig machen könnte, aber das gesamte Buch so toll ist konnte ich darüber hinwegsehen.

    Und auch die anderen Charaktere sind allesamt mehr als sympathisch, vor allem Sunnys äußerst lustige, aber auch sehr fürsorgliche Nachbarin, die 80-jährige Edna, welche laufend neue und sehr originelle Spitznamen für Jake hat, hat es mir angetan.
    Außerdem sorgt Sunnys Golden Retriever Beau für einen großen Spaßfaktor und das obwohl er, weil er logischerweise nicht dazu in der Lage ist, nicht ein Wort von sich gibt sondern nur Taten sprechen lässt ;)
    Ich freue mich auch schon darauf, im zweiten Teil der Page Turners Reihe, der „Easy Like Sunday Mourning“ heißt, mehr über Sunnys knallharte Anwaltsfreundin Maggie zu lesen und rechne auch fest mit einem „Wiedersehen“ mit den anderen Figuren.

    Ganz besonders gefällt mir auch der Wortwitz im Titel, den ich zugegebenermaßen erst verstanden habe, als ich das Buch gelesen hatte.

    Page Turners Reihe:
    Band 1 (Sunny): Another Saturday Night and I Ain’t Got No Body
    Band 2 (Maggie): Easy Like Sunday Mourning

    Fazit:
    Die Mischung macht’s, in diesem Fall macht die Mischung aus Humor, Romantik und der Aufdeckung eines Kriminalfalls ein wirklich tolles Buch aus.

    Another Saturday Night and I Ain't Got No Body is the first book in A Page Turners Novel Book series by Jennie Marts.
    This book had me laughing so hard I was crying, then I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. There is a mysterious stranger next door you feel safe with. Your love life is non-existent so you agree to six blind dates. The guys are all sweet and charming but one date is enough. Strange calls start coming in and it appears you now have a stalker. You live alone but the mysterious strange next door always seems to know when you need help. Will he be around when things get really dicey? I loved this book, at times I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face. If you have ever hard a date that didn't go well this book will put a new twist on a date not going well. I enjoyed it so much I plan to read it again. This is definitely a must read.

    Jennie Mart delivers a cast of thoroughly adorable eclectic characters that you will fall in love with - especially her leading man, Jake.
    She writes beautifully and keeps you guessing to the final ... (ahem) ... satisfying... end. I honestly did laugh out loud while reading this book as the gorgeous Sunny bravely tackled blind date after blind date. Just brilliant and I can't wait to continue with the series.
