Praise

"Vallere approaches the material with a light touch…. When the solution comes, it’s clever and satisfying. Readers in the mood for a low-stakes whodunit will be charmed." (Review of RANCH DRESSING)

– Publishers Weekly

"Vallere stitches an intrepid heroine together a nicely layered plot that fits well with the fabric imagery. The secret of the velvet makes for a clever surprise. Fans of Jenn McKinlay’s Hat Shop novels may also enjoy this small-town cozy." (Review of SUEDE TO REST)

– BookList

"Make room for Vallere’s tremendously fun homage. Imbuing her story with plenty of midcentury-modern decorating and fashion tips, not to mention a steady patter of Doris Day trivia, Vallere debuts a well-paced cozy series. Her disarmingly honest lead and two hunky sidekicks will appeal to all fashionistas and antiques types and have romance crossover appeal." (Review of PILLOW STALK)
