Synopsis
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.

Review
Tara Sivec put a smile on my face throughout Jed Had to Die. A cross between the Dixie Chicks song "Earl Had to Die" and Kristen Ashley's Rock Chick series, Jed Had to Die hails as a laugh out loud funny, incredibly zany suspense with sweet & silly romance. With each Rom-com style book of Sivec's her charmingly witty writing constantly seduces me into the romance of her stories add a little mystery coupled with intrigue and the story provides a great respite from the heavy of life.
Payton Lambert owns Liquid Crack a coffee shop I'd go into if I lived in Chicago and I don't drink coffee. But I'd go for the camaraderie, the atmosphere, and the no-nonsense antics from her and her best friend - the hilarious and straight shooting Bettie. Called unexpectedly from a hospital near her childhood home of Bald Knob, Kentucky, Payton rushes home to the side of high school best friend and wife to the illustrious woman beating Jed, Emma Jo. Not one to be super pumped about returning to Bald Knob, Payton finds Bald Knob is exactly same. Same town, same gossip, same players. Except for one wrench in her life. Sheriff Leo Hudson. And holy Hudson, Batman, is Sheriff Leo what RomCom heroes are made of.
A quirky, crazy story of Whodunit? - Jed Had to Die seriously left me crying in hilarity, smiling, and feeling real happy about reading it. Sivec's writing never ceases to entertain and I highly recommend this book for any romance reader who's looking for a fun, comedic, and entertaining read.
