Three adult children, five grandchildren, and blessed to have my father able to travel and visit (at age 95) has been keeping me busy. Since signing up, I've been to Ireland a couple of times, accompanied my father on a number of cruises (including from England to the US and from California to Hawaii and back). I know just how blessed I am.

For those generous enough to have stayed with me all these years, I owe you such a debt of gratitude. I'm back and much more focused.

As enjoyable as it was, this book left me feeling as if I have been somewhat cheated of something. I think it's because nothing was resolved. Issues were raised and left unresolved to bait then reader into buying the next book. Which I did and then because things were still not resolved, I got the third. And then I quit because I felt like I was being strung along. The heroine, Cara, was quirky enough to keep me interested in her.
I daresay if you are a fan of Stephanie Plum, you'd really like this. I kinda object to the Tea Series for the same reasons I object to the Stephanie Plum books. Stephanie has not grown into an adult woman. Her character has not grown and matured since the first book.
I feel like that is what is the case with Cara O'Flynn. I read three books and learned nothing new about her in the next two. Her romance began too quickly and her lover has no real identity except that he a snappy dresser, liked to cuddle on the couch in shorts and nothing else while Cara wears one or the other of her glamorous lingerie sets of nightgowns and peignoirs as they watch movies.
No one really has much of a personality. They are all rather one-dimensional. I think I kept reading because I thought something was going to happen. It never does. In book 2 Cara inherits a locked trunk from her grandmother's best friend and by the end of book 3 she hadn't even opened it.
In book 1 she decides she is going to solve a mystery and win the $10,000.00 reward. Although the mystery is mentioned, she doesn't actually work to solve it.
Something else that bothered me is that at around 175 pages or so each, I can't call any of the volumes a novel/ Each volume ends in the middle of things so if one's curiosity is sufficiently aroused, one will keep buying additional stories in the series. Someone is stringing the buying public along and I don't care to be manipulated.
Reader be warned: books must be read in order.

As you can see, I read three of these book in a series, The first book (Hot Tea) started out hilarious with interesting characters. I was delighted with the first book, but was disapointed that there was no real end to the book, no closure on anything. Book Two (Sweet Tea) took up right where Book One left off, ended in the same way... no ending. I finished Book Three (Ice Tea) and I am done... the characters are getting annoying and boring and although new characters are added, there has been no attempt to find resolutions to any mystery that has been going on for 3 books. I know there are several more to this series, but I won't be reading them.

Why, oh why, am I reading these books? Once again, the plot is very lacking, unless you like knowing what is going on in Cara's head. I will probably read the next book, only because I want to see where/when it will end.

The dialogue had me laughing out loud! (and when you are wearing earbuds and listening to the book, can look pretty strange to others!) Love the characters! There is NO way this can be the end of this series! I NEED more!

Well, I am officially done reading any of this series! This is the third one I have read and not a single mystery has been solve! I enjoy the characters and they get into some comical situations but I am tired of having the book end with no resolution to the mystery.

A cute little series. Nothing intense, just pure pleasurable reading. Sometimes it's just nice to read a fluffy book.
