Congratulations ladies, You’ll be getting emails from me shortly.
I think CAS falls into the romantic suspense category.
I read both Bree books in February and really enjoyed them. I can’t wait for more and looking forward to more Hammie.
I don’t know that I’ll have time to read the story prior to the end of April, sadly, so I will simply share my favorite genres. (If it was downloadable in audio, I have 8 hours of driving this weekend I could have listened to it. Just sayin’
)
I like cozy – broadly over all the genres. So, romance is what I primarily read and I love the contemporary, light-hearted, funny, snarky, feel-good romance. Jenny Crusie’s “Bet Me” is my favorite. For mystery, obviously cozy such as Elizabeth Peters books – “Crocodile on the Sandbank.” For Sci Fi/Fantasy, it is on the fantasy side of the house and typically YA versions – C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe” is a classic favorite. Westerns – not really for me – but I did read 2 for my Adult Pop Lit class and I found that they contained romance and adventure and sometimes mystery too, just in a specific setting.
Comics/Cartoons/Manga probably doesn’t really count as a genre, right? If it did, I love the one again that make me laugh. Frazz is an excellent current cartoon, along with Unshelved and Sheldon. For Manga, I love Fruits Baskets (until someone very bent came in and took over the plot) and Fushigi Yugi – fantasy romance with very lovely men.
Mystery suspense? with extra wildlife!
it’s so hard to pick one favorite genre! i love fiction, romance, and love stories!
I would say drama mystery. Or romance mystery. The books were amazing
I’m re-reading both books for fun, wishing there was a third novel ready to read… have really enjoyed both books.
Not sure which category I would put them in – perhaps mystery or suspense? Not much help, sorry, but can’t wait for the next Bree installment.
For me it’s romantic suspense. It’s so hard to fit it in to a category since it does have the caper aspect to it but I’ll go with my initial thought!
I would love to win!

Romantic mystery–luv the humor and down to earth writing
IMHO it’s a romantic suspense novel. There is a murder mystery to solve. And lots of danger. There is also enough romance for it to be in the romance genre of which romantic suspense is a sub category.
I would love to win the prize. I’m the amazon queen. What I’d like even more from Kewl Kate, though, is book 3.
What up with that – sistah?
I love contests!
And I love Kewl Kate!!!
(Does that count?)
I love a good drama novel with a great love story
Hi Kate I just followed your sig link from the yahoo group and while I haven’t read your book yet, I’d be happy to! So until then…
I would call CAS a Suspenseful Caper. It doesn’t seem to fall fully into either because there’s more suspense than I normally ascribe to capers, but then there is less fear of the death of the MC than I normally ascribe to suspenses. I don’t see it as a romantic anything because there isn’t a lot of romance to it: the men with that potential seem to annoy her more than anything.
It’s definitely not a cozy! Bree’s life is anything but that!
