House renovating is a hobby/job that has always interested me. With that being said, I loved the storyline of this book! Hattie Kavanaugh has been "flipping houses" since she was 18 years old. Due to finances, she is unable to continue her renovation on her current flip until she is provided with the opportunity to be on a reality show. This was a great summer read, and I loved watching the story unfold.

My first Mary Kay Andrews book, but definitely not my last!

A book by Mary Kay Andrews is guaranteed to brighten your library! This novel doesn’t disappoint! Renovation of a crumbling property becomes a cold case involving a missing woman. All plays out for a television crew. A delightful novel as always!

A big thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to read this book. I was really excited to read a new MKA book and this one did not disappoint. It was everything I wanted. A little bit of romance, mystery, and of course the great chemistry between the characters. This is definitely going to be a re-read for me.

Mary Kay Andrews knows how to tell a story, and this is no exception. The return to mystery writing (sorta) is a huge pleasure, and this book is fun, twisty, and the perfect summer read.

Thank you Net Galley for a copy of The Homewreckers by Mary Kay Andrew's. This was my first book read from this author. I felt like it dragged in areas and I was disappeared in the character development.

You know The Homewreckers is going to be good right off the bat because who doesn't love Mary Kay Andrews!?! This book has a bit of mystery, karma and romance and it's sure to keep you interested throughout! It is really cute, clever and the perfect summer read!

The Homewreckers is Mary Kay Andrews at her finest. The Savannah setting is beautifully and lovingly described. Hattie is the strong but plucky heroine that I wanted her to be, and there are good love interests, friends, and members of her community. The mystery of this one is really solid and also moving. A great beach read that's a must for the author's fandom.

Thank you to the publisher for my review copy. All opinions are my own.

So Homewreckers. I liked you. I didn't quite love you as much as I have loved other MKA's. That is not to say I didn't enjoy it. I did. Solid read....just not my favorite of hers.

I loved the premise. I just wasn't completely sold on our female protagonist Hattie. I had a harder time connecting with her. Overall. It's not really Summer until I read MK. 3 1/2 stars rounded up!

Fixer Upper meets murder mystery! This book had me guessing until the last few pages “who done it?” I loved the HGTV spin and the love story weaved throughout! Savannah has my heart and this book made me want to explore more parts, ie TYBEE! Thanks to Net Galley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

It was not my intention to read two books about home reno’s in a row but here we are lol. I packed all my physical books so I’m stuck with the kindle while we move… what better time than now to get caught up on my ARCs! Since I read this book right after Maggie Moves On, naturally I was comparing the two and I can say I for sure liked this one better. There was a HUGE mystery aspect in this that I didn’t expect that was super enjoyable. This was my second Mary Kay Andrews book (the first being The Santa Suit, which I loved) and I can definitely say I’m a fan. This sort of felt like a Christina Lauren meets a Diane Chamberlain which are two very different authors but literally I can think of no better way to describe it. For sure excited to dive into more Mary Kay Andrews books!

Thank you NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Mary Kay Andrews for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! Mary Kay Andrews books are always a lot of fun, and this one did not disappoint. It’s set in Savannah and Tybee Island, which I absolutely loved, because I love those cities. It follows Hattie on her latest renovation project and has many twist and turns throughout. It’s a great Summer read and I recommend it!

I love MKA and this book was a great summer read. For those who love a little mystery with their romance, it definitely fills the cup in both areas. I loved the cold-case aspect of the book and how the current characters were so engaged and involved with helping to solve. I think the characters were solid and the story line was a definite winner!

What a great summer read! Mary Kay Andrews definitely earned five stars on this book! There was romance and mystery, with a little comedy sprinkled in as well. I think a lot of women can relate to Hattie's life struggles. As for Trae, some of us are smart enough not to fall for him and his tricks. We're more interested in the Mos in the world! I will definitely be recommending this book to my reader friends! Definitely will be on the lookout for Mary Kay's next book!

I've been wanting to read this author for a long time & was pleasantly surprised as I was not expecting it to have a suspense aspect to it. I did find the 1st part of the book slow & hard to get into, but I'm glad I continue reading as the twist at the end of quite unexpected.

I received this advance review copy from from NetGalley & the publisher for my honest review.

I loved this book! Start to finish in two days!
If you are a fan of HGTV, this book is for you, with a side of 48 Hours Mystery.

It’s what so many small town people dream of…big city folks come into town and make someone famous and that’s exactly what happens to the local carpenter/house flipper.

But as they start tearing down, a real mystery emerges and it’s non stop suspense!

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for a chance to read and review this wonderful book! I discovered the author a few years ago and love every book I have read with this being no exception! She always writes the most relatable and fun books with their own unique twists.

This was a fantastic read to start the summer off. You have a little bit of everything in this story and that makes it just about perfect.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing this ARC to review. ~I was given this book and made no commitments to leave my opinions, favorable or otherwise. ~

This was a fun, full-of-a-bit-of-everything read. There was romance, suspense, and drama. It wasn't my favorite book; at times it felt a bit long, but overall, it was a nice read that would be great for the beach.
