About the author
Stephanie Damore
93 books159 followersI'm a mystery author with a soft spot for romance and humor, too. I love all things girlie with a dollop of danger, have a strong affinity for the color pink (especially in diamonds and champagne), and, not to brag, but chocolate and I are in a pretty serious relationship.
My books are fun and flirty, and feature smart and sassy sleuths. If you love books with a dash of spice and twist of whodunit, you're going to love my work!

I love this boxset! Mine actually contains four complete books, not three. These books revolve around Claire, a baker, and her spirited husband Nick. I have reviewed the books individually on each books page. The boxset is a super awesome way to devour all the books. I was so happy that I could keep going on to the next book without leaving the world I was in. And I did want to read each one immediately. If you are debating getting the books one at a time or getting the boxset, I highly recommend getting the boxset. These books are delightful reads. They are quick making it a wonderful addition to have on hand to read while waiting on an appointment, or if you’re like me, waiting in the car for someone to finish doing something. The saddest part is that coming to the last book means a wait for me. Book five? Yes, please.

Absolutely adorable
I love this series about a ghost seeing crime solving Baker. I'm definitely up for reading more. All the characters including the ghosts are really well written and their are 3 recipes at the end of the book.

Bittersweet Betrayal is an excellent beginning to a new series. I was drawn in on page one and raced to the finish. There are so many red herrings and other twists that I did not guess anything. The end is a huge twist. I cannot wait to read the next book.
Decadent Demise is a short, fun read. I like Claire, her dearly departed husband, and the bakery. During the winter holidays, Claire does not have time to worry about another murder. Claire, like almost everyone in the town, disliked the victim and his development schemes. Besides Claire needs some additional help in the bakery - especially with the police focusing on Ellen as the murderer. Can Claire keep the bakery running smoothly and solve this murder? A delightful afternoon diversion.
Red Velvet Revenge is book three in Stephanie Damore's newest series. I have enjoyed all three. This one may be my favorite. These are short, fun reads with an older widow who receives help in her detecting from her dead husband. (Don't scoff. The concept works!) The book works well as a stand alone, but I have read, and enjoyed, all three! This story made for a pleasant break during this hectic holiday season.

Spirited Sweets (or Shorts instead?)
Although each story was a complete story with a solved mystery, they were all way too short for me. The heroine was feisty, likable, and can see & talk to ghosts. I really wanted to get better acquainted with her and see where life was going to take her in the future. So much was still up in the air about her life after the four adventures that were covered in the stories, that I really wonder what will happen to change things. Please write more stories about these characters!

Such a Cute Paranormal Series
These are very quick-read stories. They feature our heroine who is a recent widow and her beloved husband, a ghost. They get involved in all sorts of paranormal business, mostly solving murders. This box set is a complete story arc that is touching and fun. Great entertainment from a gifted author. I received this for free and this is my honest review.

Oh, what fun!
These stories are quite believable and deliciously fun, so much so that i cannot wait for more to come out in the series. While I’m at i might as well admit that I’m also wishing for a prequel. Well done!

Enjoyable books. Although each book was short they were quite entertaining. Each plot was different and not too predictable. I'm sorry the series has ended. I will look into her other books.
Also pleased that there were no sex scenes - fun books can be without sex!

This is all four books in the series. It is nice cozy where a woman, Claire, and her ghost husband, Nick, solve murders - the first one being Nick's grandmother. The books are clean with some humor. They are a nice quick read. Hope there are more to come!
