GRR Reviews Storming Meg by Pamela Burford

"Storming Meg" is basically the board game "Clue!" murder mystery with some romantic elements.

Meg is stranded on her uncle's private island with her three kids and her new fiancee Winston. It was supposed to be a family retreat with her uncle Pete, his trophy wife Tanya, and his son Neal. She didn't count on her ex, Jack also got invited. Not that she can refuse him seeing his children. Things got very complicated when Uncle Pete was found dead at the bottom of the stairs, and EVERYBODY (except the kids) got a motive. Neal was fooling around with Tanya, but Tanya wants Jack (just to prove she can). Jack, however, wants Meg back, and Meg... had to stay away from Jack because he wasn't a responsible person... or did he change? Meg wants to marry Winston... but if she knocked off Pete she inherits a fortune. And Jack's got motive because Pete enjoys breaking Jack and Meg apart... Apparently, Jack was never good enough for Meg... But Jack will do right by Meg... if she'll ever take him back...

Let's just say there is a perp, and the folks will figure it out. But it's technically not a romance, but mystery with romantic elements.
