BOOK REVIEW- A Perfect Fit (DiCarlo Brides Book 1): Love in Juniper Ridge by Heather Tullis

   
Who knew Cami's father was a closet matchmaker?
































Cami DiCarlo is crossing off the list of her father's dying wishes.
1 Move from Chicago to Juniper Ridge, CO to open his new hotel—check
2 Live with her five sisters—four of whom she didn’t know about until he died—check
3 Marry the guy he picked out for her—oh wait, she didn’t know about that one.
Though she misses her father like crazy, she can’t help resenting him for interfering in her life, or the many, many secrets he’d been keeping—even if he did bring hunky Vince Talmadge into her life.
Luckily Vince not only knows what her father wanted—once he meets her he is more than willing to give a relationship a try. After all, it isn’t often that you meet a beautiful, capable, fascinating, complicated woman like Cami in this mountain ski town.  The fact that they have definite chemistry doesn’t hurt. The question is whether or not he can make her see that they really are A Perfect Fit.
AMAZON  5 STARS

I really enjoyed this book. Even though it was a full size book, it seems like I just flew through it.  I didn't WANT to put it down.  There was plenty of emotion and surprises that kept my attention.  Although Cami's father loved her and the rest of her sisters, he was kind of a hound dog when it came to being faithful. I didn't like that but it was part of the story and it definitely stirred up plenty of not only emotions and anger but also problems too.  All of which, he dumped in his "girl's" laps without any warning.  Most of weight falls on Cami and Lana who are his legit daughters. 
The relationship between Vince and Cami is fraught with tension and problems.  But the attraction is still there.  Also, Cami has had some losers in her past and isn't real open to another man.  Especially with all the stuff on her plate right now.  But Vince has more to offer than she realizes at first.  I did like seeing how he was there for her even when her anger at being manipulated override her good sense a few times.  Vince was a good guy with some interesting depths as well.
The only thing that I will say is that in the beginning, it kind of took me a bit of time to keep up with all the people in the story.  I was guilty of checking back and forth a few times just to keep them all straight in my head.  
There is also the mystery of who and why someone is trying to sink the women and the opening of the new hotel.  You just never knew when and how the new attack would come.  They faced some pretty mean spirited media attacks, with information that the gossip rags shouldn't have.
I like the way the story ended with some pretty good action and the promise of the rest of the sisters stories as well. I think they would be stories that I would like to follow up on.
