It should be no surprise that I enjoyed the Sunshine Vicram Series, being as I am a fan of author Darynda Jones. After reading Darynda Jones’ Charley Davidson series, I was excited when this series was announced. After reading the first chapter, I was ready to dive in. As The Sunshine Vicram Series has the same kind of charisma as the Charley Davidson series.
The series follows Sunshine Vicram, the newly-elected Sheriff of Del Sol, New Mexico. A job that Sunshine did not apply for by the way. And that’s only the beginning of this surprisingly humorous series. Prepare yourself for a crazy adventure as this series takes you on a wild ride.
The series is hard to place in one genre as there’s a private investigator mystery, adventure, a bit of romance. Sunshine is a badass. While her interactions with her parents, teenage daughter and Levi Ravinder bring the story to life. That and the quirky town folks. Be forewarned, the books has a tad bit of spice and deal with some heavy subject matters. Yet, Darynda still leaves room for heart and humor.
I’ve mentioned before that I love a good audiobook and this series on audiobook is perfection. Narrated by Lorelei King, who also narrated the Charley Davidson series. She brings the necessary spunk to Sunshine and her teenage daughter.
Sunshine Vicram Series Book 1
A Bad Day for Sunshine Synopsis:
Sheriff Sunshine Vicram finds her cup o’ joe more than half full when the small village of Del Sol, New Mexico, becomes the center of national attention for a kidnapper on the loose.
Del Sol, New Mexico is known for three things: its fry-an-egg-on-the-cement summers, strong cups of coffee – and, now, a nationwide manhunt? Del Sol native Sunshine Vicram has returned to town as the elected sheriff – thanks to her adorably meddlesome parents who nominated her–and she expects her biggest crime wave to involve an elderly flasher named Doug. But a teenage girl is missing, a kidnapper is on the loose, and all of this is reminding Sunshine why she left Del Sol in the first place. Add to that the trouble at her daughter’s new school, plus and a kidnapped prized rooster named Puff Daddy, and, well, the forecast looks anything but sunny.
But even clouds have their silver linings. This one’s got Levi, Sunshine’s sexy, almost-old-flame, and a fiery-hot US Marshall. With temperatures rising everywhere she turns, Del Sol’s normally cool-minded sheriff is finding herself knee-deep in drama and danger. Can Sunshine face the call of duty – and find the kidnapper who’s terrorizing her beloved hometown – without falling head over high heels in love . . . or worse?
She believed she could, so she did. Now she needs bail money. We are here to help!
SIGN AT DEL SOL BAIL BONDS
Sunshine Vicram Series Book 2
A Good Day for Chardonnay Synopsis:
Running a small-town police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth, carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff–and even fuller-time coffee guzzler–Sunshine Vicram, didn’t get that memo.
All Sunshine really wants is one easy-going day. You know, the kind that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with take-out pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out, that’s about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do that? And who hurt them?)
Before she can say iced mocha latte, Sunny’s got a bar fight gone bad, a teenage daughter hunting a serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of her own abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a dangerous bad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows he’s not the villain of her story. Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses the keys to her disappearance. At the very least, beneath it all, he possesses a serious set of abs. She’s seen it. Once. Accidentally.
Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi which seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible raccoon that just doesn’t know when to quit, Sunny’s life is about to rocket to a whole new level of crazy.
Yep, definitely a good day for chardonnay.
Sunshine Vicram Series Book 3
A Hard Day for a Hangover Synopsis:
Some people greet the day with open arms. Sheriff Sunshine Vicram would rather give it a hearty shove and get back into bed, because there’s just too much going on right now. There’s a series of women going missing, and Sunny feels powerless to stop it. There’s her persistent and awesomely-rebellious daughter Auri, who’s out to singlehandedly become Del Sol’s youngest and fiercest investigator. And then there’s drama with Levi Ravinder—the guy she’s loved and lusted after for years. The guy who might just be her one and only. The guy who comes from a family of disingenuous vipers looking to oust him—and Sunshine—for good.
Like we said, the new day can take a hike.
