Jed Had to Die by Tara Sivec Blog Tour

The happiest day of Payton Lambert's life was the day she graduated high school and watched Bald Knob, Kentucky get smaller and smaller in her rearview mirror. She wanted more for her life than a tiny town where everyone knows your business and you can’t find a decent cup of coffee for at least forty miles. Twelve years later, an unexpected phone call in the middle of the night has her packing up her life in Chicago and racing back home to the one person she ever regretted leaving behind.

Upon her return, she sees that Leo Hudson, the scrawny boy who followed Payton around like a puppy and could recite cow insemination facts in his sleep, is long gone. Leo is still hot on her heels, but now he's wearing a sheriff badge and dead set on solving a murder that may or may not involve Payton...along with half the town. In a place where the biggest crime happened the day someone kicked a few of his cows, people are pointing fingers, rumors are spreading like wildfire, and Payton swears she's only making out with the sweet-talking, studly sheriff to distract him from the secrets she's keeping.

When you've been tased, peed on by a yippy dog named Bo Jangles, and can't stop picturing what Sheriff Hudson looks like naked, it will be a tough job making everyone agree that...Jed had to die.

Veronica – ☆☆☆☆☆
Peyton returns to her hometown of Bald Knob (great name) after 12 years away, after old friend, Emma Jo, calls her for help. When Emma Jo's husband turns up dead, the people of Bald Knob blame Peyton, for no other reason than she was a bit of a hell raiser as a teen and has been gone for so long.

Peyton also discovers romance in the form of off the charts sexy town Sheriff Leo Hudson. I have to say Leo wins book boyfriend of the year from me. He is delicious and sweet and hot with a big heart and all the things a woman wants.

Spread through the romance and murder mystery are chapters which are transcripts of Sheriff's Deputy Buddy interviewing the towns folk about Peyton and Jed's murder. They are hilarious and showcase the craziness of life in this small town. I also loved the little coffee mug quotes at the beginning of the chapters – they were great.

Jed Had to Die is fantastic! Ms. Sivec has done a great job writing a funny, romantic story full of loveable and crazy characters. I didn't want to leave Bald Knob and if she were to write more stories about this town, I'd definitely be up for reading them.
