Kicking the Habit (#360) by Kari Lee Townsend started life as a Kindle Serial Book, but since I don't own a Kindle, I had to wait for the paperback version to come out for this GoodReads giveaway. It was worth the wait.
After ten years in the convent, Sister Mary Cecelia has decided to leave the convent just before she takes her final vows. She has faith, but there's just something missing in her life. It isn't easy to break the news to Father Flannigan, but he's promised to support her in whatever she undertakes. Cece is planning to open her own counseling clinic right there in New Hope, Massachusetts. But things don't work out exactly as planned when she witnesses the murder of Senator Sloan just after encountering him in the confessional where she's gone to retrieve Father Flannigan's special Bible. Now she's in the crosshairs of the assassins herself. She can't break the confidentiality of what the Senator accidentally told her in the confessional, but she's determined to see justice done With the FBI and local law enforcement on the case, the feds assign Detective Ace Jackson to nun-sit. He's had a bad experience with the church where the murder took place, and that's the very last assignment this former Army Ranger wants to take on. Cece is out of her habit now, but he can only think of her as a nun and part of his general church phobia. Surely those warm feelings he's experiencing for "Sister Mary Sleuth" can't be right as she leads him on a merry chase as they both try to identify the murderer before he or she can kill again.
If you're looking for a cute read with some ingenious plot twists served up with a generous helping of humor and romance, this book might just be the ticket. I actually laughed out loud reading the scenes in the confessional and the strip club! (And just try putting those two ideas together!). Have fun with it; I know I did.
