Far from a domestic goddess, Sarah Blair would rather catch bad guys than slave over a hot stove. But when a dangerous murder boils over in Wheaton, Alabama, catching the killer means leaving her comfort zone . . .
Things are finally looking up for Sarah Blair following her unsavory divorce. Settled into a cozy carriage house with her sassy Siamese cat, RahRah, she has somehow managed to hang on to her modest law firm receptionist job and—if befriending flea-bitten strays at the local animal shelter counts—lead a thriving social life. For once, Sarah almost has it together more than her enterprising twin, Emily, a professional chef whose efforts to open a gourmet restaurant have hit a real dead end.
When the president of the town bank and city council is murdered after icing Emily’s business plans, all eyes are on the one person who left the scene with blood on her hands—the twins sharp-tongued mother, Maybelle. Determined to get her mom off the hook ASAP, Sarah must collect the ingredients of a deadly crime to bring the true culprit to justice. But as neighbors turn against her family, can she pare down the suspects before another victim lands on the chopping block?
Includes quick and easy recipes!

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew and Good Luck!
You can find a list of my reviews HERE.
The cover is wonderful and sounds like such a fabulous read.

I love that cover!
I’m glad you liked the cover. Kensington did a wonderful job with it.
Sounds like fun, love the cover😁
It does sound fun. And that cover is precious!
My goal in writing cozy mysteries is that they need to be fun. Thank you also for your comments about the cover. I love the covers for both One Taste Too Many and Two Bites Too Many.
This story sounds captivating and memorable. Thanks.
It sounds like a fun end of summer read to me:)
As I noted above, fun is my #1 objective — end of summer, beginning of summer, on an airplane or on the nightstand – Two Bites Too Many is meant to be picked up and enjoyed
I am not going to lie…I would pick this one up for the cover alone. Sounds like fun!
So would I! LOL
If the cover alone does the job, Kensington is to be praised. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy the story, too – I’ll take blame for the tales in One Taste Too Many and Two Bites Too Many — but I’ll give full credit for the two great covers to Kensington.
no cocktails for the kitty please. lol
sherry @ fundinmental
LOL They are sneaky that way:)
Agreed!
Such a cute cover!
I know. So adorable!
Kensington caught the Siamese cat, RahRah, and Fluffy the dog exactly as I wrote them. Thanks for leaving a message.
So cute. Sounds like a fun book. I’ve heard a lot of good reviews.

I had to add it to my cozy challenge:)
I appreciate you adding it to your cozy challenge — I’m also very grateful for the reviews Two Bites Too Many and the first book in the Sarah Blair series, One Taste Too Many, have received. The first book was a Woman’s World pick of the week. Kensington originally bought three books, but this week we inked a deal for two more, so there will be at least five in the series.
Great cover! I enjoyed the description of the book. Sounds like a great book.

Doesn’t it sound fun!
I’m glad you like the cover and the description. Thank you for leaving a comment.
Thank you for being part of the book tour. <3
"Two Bites Too Many" by Debra H. Goldstein sounds wonderful! I can't wait for the opportunity to read this book on my TBR list.
Adorable cover! Are they modeled after an animal in your life or just an artist vision?

I would love to read this too. I’m always ready for a new cozy:)
I’m glad you both hope to add this to your TBR list. RahRah, the cat sharing the cover of Two Bites Too Many and alone on One Taste Too Many, is modeled after a friend’s cat. Our family had hypoallergenic dogs, so I didn’t feel comfortable writing RahRah without consulting a friend who is a major multiple cat lover. After interviewing her for several hours about cat behaviors, I went home and discovered she’d e-mailed me a picture of her oldest Siamese cat — a beautiful animal. I modified the manuscript to pick up the coloring of her cat. When Kensington asked for my suggestions for the first cover, I described her cat. I had no idea what they would come up with, but I know they did a perfect job because my friend called amazed that her cat was on the cover. Fluffy the dog is a composite of family dogs. Again, Kensington, got it right.
Thanks for sharing. They sure did great with the cover:)
Thank you for spotlighting Two Bites Too Many. I’m sorry my responses were a bit delayed, but I was traveling earlier today and then engaged in a Facebook party. I appreciate you being part of my tour!
I am very happy to share and thanks so much for stopping in!
I’m looking forward to this second book in the series.
I love cozies and this is a new series for me!
I love cozy mysteries and I love the cover!
Julie,
Thank you for stopping by. I love the covers Kensington does, too.
I’m a big fan of cozies and always enjoy their covers and cute titles.
I absolutely love the dog on the cover–now it’s time to read the series. Thank you for the giveaway!
Hope you have the opportunity to read the series…. btw, I love the covers, too.
Fall and winter are when I read most of the cozies. I’ll be starting this series:)
I adore this cover:)
