Vows, Vendettas, and a Little Black Dress

By: Kyra Davis

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

Length: 9 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's summary

The peach taffeta Bridesmaid dress- that should be Sophie’s problem. Not attempted murder.

Overjoyed at Maryanne’s engagement, amateur sleuth Sophie Katz can’t wait for the wedding vows and party toasts to begin. But then Dena—best friend, bridesmaid, and all-around vixen—is mysteriously shot just after the announcement. Leave this to the authorities? No way. Dena may never walk again, and Sophie vows to marry her fists with the shooter’s face.

Problem is, the number of suspects is off the charts—from jaded lovers to anti-free-lovers to just plain old haters. Dena’s made plenty of enemies thanks to her popular sex shop—and, yes, she’s no saint—but really, who deserves to be shot?

With an überlogical almost boyfriend condemning her vigilante quest, and a wedding planner going vicariously bridezilla over the dream princess wedding, Sophie’s barely thinking straight. But if she can keep her cool (and avoid all errant taffeta), she just might nab her man and save the (wedding) day.

Big if.

I love listening to Gabra Zackman

Gabra Zackman is perfect for the narration to the Sophie Katz books. I choose my recording as much for the narrator as for the author. I have read all the Sophie books, and this is my least favorite. It's not bad, but it goes on and drags a little in the last quarter. Also, I thought there was a little gratuitous sex that wasn't really that interesting nor did it contribute much to the plot. The plot itself was good, but it took longer than necessary to develop ad solve. I'm not sorry I invested the time in it, but don't think I would recommend this very strongly. And not nearly as highly as the other Sophie books.

Predictable again

Maybe this is the reason I'm not in a relationship, but I would have dropped Anatoly a long time ago. Sophie seems to want to constantly want to make their relationship work when he gives very little to the relationship and her piecemeal. The final straw of the information she was told at the end of this book would have been the straw that broke the camels back for me. Don't care what he had to say about it.

Sexy thriller

Would you consider the audio edition of Vows, Vendettas, and a Little Black Dress to be better than the print version?

Any additional comments?

Funny, Romance & Great Mystery

Kyra Davis and her Sophie Katz character didn't let me down with this installment, because once again I was laughing out loud and guessing "who did it" right up 'til the end. I've been a fan of this series since the beginning and this book has only made me long for the next installment. She's really developing the depth of the characters as she goes along. I would definitely recommend this book if you're a fan of romance with a light mystery. I just LOVED it!

Great!

I’m a big fan of the Sophie Katz series. Definitely give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed!

Loved it!

If you like the other Kyra Davis books, than you will LOVE this one! All the witty characters are back for another mystery, I laughed out loud several times. I could not stop listening to it. I have to say the hardest thing is that there is a cliff hanger at the end and I can not wait till the next book comes out!!!

Laugh out loud funny

My favorite book in the series so far.

Confusing, long winded overuse of bad language.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Cut out the sexual graphic descriptions/verbiage.

Would you recommend Vows, Vendettas, and a Little Black Dress to your friends? Why or why not?

No, needs to be cleaned up and abridged.

What three words best describe Gabra Zackman’s voice?

Reasonable n clear

Could you see Vows, Vendettas, and a Little Black Dress being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No idea. Would need to be a late night movie

Any additional comments?

I had anticipated this book being similar to a Stephanie PLum novel, no where near.

I love these books

An enjoyable read/listen I need to write more so says the error message. So the book is fun and humorous with a splash of naughty. thank you !

Disappointing and predictable

This has been my least favorite Sophie Katz book. It was predictable. I was more interested in Dena’s back story than I was in Sophie. Sophie has grown developed since the first book. She keeps
Making the same mistakes.
