"Laura Black just wants to pay her rent, find the perfect boyfriend, and save the world! "
In this new thrilling romantic mystery, Scottsdale’s favorite investigator, Laura Black, has teamed up with Mistress McNasty to hunt for a lost client. Unfortunately, Laura’s enemies are searching for her and if they find her, the results won’t be pretty. As always, Laura is helped out by her best friend Sophie and former cop Gina Rondinelli. Together they’ll solve the mystery and save the day, even if it kills them. Laura finally makes up her mind about the man she wants to be with -- unfortunately, love is never quite that easy.

With equal parts humor, action, and mystery, and set in the glamorous resort town of Scottsdale Arizona SCOTTSDALE SCORCHER is perfect for a day at the beach or a night curled up by the fire.

“A great chick-lit mystery with plenty of humor. I love a strong female lead who gets herself into crazy situations only to have a hot guy come to her rescue. This is a must-read.”

I'm thrilled to announce that Kristy, our favorite Scottsdale wedding planner, has taken up residence in Aloha Lagoon! After the crazy events of Scottsdale Silence, Kristy finally achieved her lifelong dream of moving to paradise. She took a job in Hawaii as the Aloha Lagoon resort wedding planner on the gorgeous island of Kauai. Sun, surf, sandy beaches, and glowing brides...what could possibly go wrong?

Turns out, everything.

Want to know more? Check out Hula Homicide, the latest book in the Aloha Lagoon Mystery Series. This series is written by several authors, including Leslie Langtry, Beth Prentice, and Cathern Bruns. Each is a complete stand-alone novel, or you can read them one after the other.

As for me, halfway through a successful career in technical writing, marketing, and sales, along with having four beautiful children, I somehow veered into fiction. Combining a love of the desert, derived from many years of living in Arizona, with an appreciation of the modern romantic detective story, the Scottsdale Series was born. I hope you like the results!

Thanks to all for the great comments and suggestions. As always, I'd love to hear from you.

Not much to say as it is all good to read. She is liked and appreciated by people who met her. I just wonder what Laura will follow her reasoning or her heart and what will turn out.

I have been checking every so often when the book would come out. Please write sooner. :)

Absolutely Great series I was hooked from the very first line of the first book and can't wait for each book to release. BA Trimmer is an excellent writer and pulls you in with her realistic characters. I put this series in my top five all time favorites to read over and over again! Can't wait for the next book!!! I would recommend this series to anyone who loves the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.

Got a bit burned out on this episode. Still like that Laura gives her daily wardrobe reports, and the accuracy of Scottsdale locations, dust storms, heat etc...just too much mundane inner thoughts, then action, then shoot outs, rinse and repeat..let's see how she tells Reno about her new car?!! More will be revealed. Come to think of it life is not all dramatic at all times and then Bam you run into someone who's goal is to make sure you die a slow painful way and Bam you're once again saved by a mobster that has your back. Right! Yea. Let's go with that. Oh and keep a baby Glock nearby! Loaded. Go drive that Mercedes with your head held high! Do it for Big Tony Laura Black.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another explosive ride.
Reviewed in Australia on June 26, 2016

BA Trimmer has done it again. What a winner of a series! Laura has found herself in danger once again. This time it is closer then the normal and seems to entangle her again even more into the crime world. To ultimately save her friends Laura is left to deal with the fallout of what she thought was a genuine offer to save another innocent only to make a deal with the devil. I'm itching at the feet to have the next book in my hands to see further down the track. I'm sort of guessing though that the next one will probably not give closure but leave me once again reeling with emotions. I'm thinking that Laura should take that step with Max to see what could happen. Even if she figures out that it isn't for her. Us readers are dying to read what life would be like to be with Max for awhile.
