One Hundred Mistakes
(Aspen Cove #16)
by Kelly Collins
As the personal assistant to popstar legend, Indigo, Deanna Archer moved to Aspen Cove for work (and maybe a certain sexy guitar player). But when her long-time crush dumps her, Deanna is determined to get him back, even if that means enlisting the help of Aspen Cove’s new deputy sheriff to act as her fake boyfriend. After all, the best way to get a man is to make him think he can’t have you, right? As her plan unfolds and feelings toward Merrick grow, Deanna is faced with a dilemma: does she stay on course or veer off in the direction her heart wants to take her?
Merrick Buchanan moved to Aspen Cove for peace and tranquility. Getting away from his meddling mother was an added bonus. When she says she’s coming for a visit and bringing his perfect match, he knows he has to act fast. What he needs is a decoy, and Deanna Archer is the perfect candidate. He may think he’s in control of the situation, but his heart has other plans.
As the ruse plays out, will Deanna and Merrick see the gift they’ve been given, or is their fake relationship just another mistake?

He’s not a keeper… He’s a catch and release.
“The only exciting thing that happened since yesterday was that Mrs. Brown’s cat went missing, but he was easy to find, seeing as how she’d dressed him in a clown costume. He was hiding out behind the bakery. I’d hide too if I had to wear some of the outfits she puts him in.” Merrick had caught a glimpse or two of the poor animal. Last week he found him skulking around the alley wearing a fish head hat. That gave new meaning to catfish.
… feeding a man’s ego was like feeding a tapeworm; they were never satisfied.
“Tell me about your first love?” “I was nine, and she sat next to me in class. I brought her bags of Skittles, and she dumped me for a Snicker’s gifting guy.”
I’m more likely to kill someone than be killed. I mean … I work with idiots.
… women aren’t presents. They are more like onions, and you have to peel back the layers and hope they don’t make you cry.
I once read about an airline dumping the waste from a plane, and it came down in a shitsicle and killed a man watching Oprah. My point is, life is dangerous.
My Review:
I adore this sweet and steamy small-town series, the humor is always giggle-snort worthy. Kelly Collins has a sharp wit and a gift for snark and knows how to put it to good use. I was well entertained by the featured couple, who were both newcomers to the developing little hamlet of Aspen Cove. I learned something new that I had to Google; living wine labels are a real thing. How clever! My future alcohol consumption could actually be educational, what fun!

Aspen Cove sounds like a lovely series. Your review, as always, was a delight to read. I don’t believe I’ve read any of Kelly Collins books but it looks like she has written many for me to choose from.
Lovely review, sounds like some I may enjoy
I recently found out about living wine labels! My mom had bought a label with Snoop Dogg on it and I was so sad she was done with it because I saw it activates on the app!
This sounds so lovely…I want some sweet reads
Good to see the series is still going and that you are enjoying it. Great review.
…and now I need to employ Mr. Google myself. I love that you’ve read this far into this fun series.
This looks amazing! I’m sad I’ve only read one or two of her books, as I absolutely loved the ones I did read! Definitely adding this to my 2021 TBR 🙂
