Yolks on You #2
Egg Whites and Blue
Sequel to Shell Shocked
Kiko and Dom are still getting used to settling in with each other, a task made difficult by their conflicting schedules and habits. With Mount Angus’ Knee High 4th of July Festival approaching, they anticipate spending some quality time together again, if only for a weekend.
But the arrival of Kiko’s ex, a well-known chef who seems to be taking interest in him again after a decade, throws up unnecessary tensions. And when Dom stumbles across a body with a pie server in its back, they find themselves drawn into another small-town mystery where the dark secrets of family recipes and a generous serving of danger could very well get them killed.

Our two MCs, Kiko and Dom, managed to survive the murder attempts at Easter and have spent the previous few months settling into their relationship. They’ve made it all the way to the Fourth of July weekend before stumbling across a dead body and another smarmy ex-boyfriend. Dom is excited to once more put his amateur sleuthing skills to work, and hopefully prove that the killer is none other than Kiko’s good-looking ex. Kiko’s main concern is surviving Dom’s baking.
This book was just as well written as the first in the series, as once again I was left laughing at the antics of the population of Mount Angus, Wisconsin. So, two books with two murderers, two ex-boyfriends, and two festivals. The author has ingeniously included all of the same elements but has written two individual stories. I actually enjoyed the fact that some components of the story were exactly the same yet totally different. I did actually wonder if the cleverness the author exhibited in writing the “you can’t guess who-done-it” aspect of the first book was a fluke, but she did it again here, so kudos for keeping me guessing.
We see further development of the bond between Dom and Kiko, yet they are also still ironing some kinks (not kinky kinks) out of their new relationship. I think the author did a good job of not having them fall deliriously in love during the interval between the first book and this one. Despite the fact that they rushed to move in together they are still in a getting-to-know-you phase. In my opinion the author could definitely squeeze another book or two out of these men, but at the same time, if she chooses to end the series here, I’m happy with the place their relationship is at.
I definitely recommend reading the first book in the series. I guess that you could read this book as a standalone, but you’d miss the story of Dom and Kiko getting together. And you’d miss your introduction to the town of Mount Angus.

Another good book in this series. Jessica Payseur definitely has a winning series on her hands. This book contains mystery, murder, food poisoning, a crazy ex, and some insecurities. But it also contains love and excitement.
Once again Kiko and Dom are trying to figure out who is behind the murder of one of their fellow townies and what the motive is and who is responsible for the food poisoning.
These two men are so funny. They have a unique way about them that makes them such an amazing couple. And the fact that Dom is insecure about Kikos ex makes it that more realistic.
I love how no matter what these two men have each other's back for better or worse.
Jessica made this book exciting and left me wondering who was behind everything till the very end.
Another great read and cannot wait to read more in the series.

My second journey to Mount Angus and it will not be my last. Kiko and Dom seem to be a fun couple who manage to get involved in trying to find out who is killing people in the quiet little mid-western town.

3.5*
I liked this book more than first one, I think it could be because here we already know the most of the characters, the familiarity feeling reading about them and going around the different places of the town.
In this one, our main characters are already an established couple since 3 months ago (book 1) but the relationship is still not very strong so the suddenly appearance of Kiko´s first love for the 4th July celebrations (now a super famous chef) makes Dominic mad and all of this with a new local murder case.
I love mystery books, and in this series the mystery has a lot of weight, so if you only want to know about love story go away. But if you enjoy the love story with the plus of intrigue, I think you can love this book! Actually the plot is more accurate than the first one. I could see an improvement. And the characters are so lovable!
Kiko and Dom, what a pair! Kiko is so strict, hard worker, serious and Dom is so lazy that sometimes I wanted to kick his ass myself xD But I found them very believable.
Also say that Chad character is so cute! Hope to see more of him in the future. (I ship him with that male nurse :P)
