Is it strange to have the unemployment office on speed dial? Not
for twenty-four-year-old college dropout Rylie Keyes. However, her current job
at a small retirement home is worlds more important than all her past gigs.
Fact is, if she loses this job, she’ll fail to stop the forced sale of her
grandfather’s home, a modest lakeside bungalow that has been in the family for
ages. But to keep her job she needs to figure out the truth behind the death of
a senior citizen found murdered in her care.
The victim was thought to be a penniless man with a silly grudge
against Rylie. However, his enemies will do whatever it takes to keep their
part in his murder secret.
Forced to dust off the PI training she must keep hidden from her
ex-detective grandfather, Rylie has to juggle the attentions of two very sexy,
very different cops who both arouse and fluster her at the same time. And as
she trudges through the case, she has no idea that along the way she just might
win, or lose, a little piece of her heart.
Authors Bio:
I love making people laugh. True, I should probably spend time on an analyst’s couch, but I’d rather spill loads of fun into my books. I’m rarely at a loss for words, which is wicked cool for a writer. And it would be poppycock to say I didn’t laze away my wonder years dreaming of far-off places.
Over the years, I’ve traversed the insanely fun back roads of Australia and New Zealand, trekked the wildly exotic landscapes of Asia and Africa, soaked up the blistering Caribbean sun, survived bitter Arctic cold to witness the Northern Lights, and lost a wee bit of my heart to the awesomeness of Europe.
My goals in life are simple: do more good than harm and someday master the do-not-mess-with-me look. I roost in Washington State with my husband and our two children.

My Review
Okay so it takes a LOT to make me actually LOL when reading a book. This book did that and more! I seriously LOVE sarcastic (but the funny sarcastic not the annoying kind..) characters like Rylie. She knows what she wants out of life, but she is so very unsure of how exactly to get there. I'm sure anyone can relate to that! I loved that the other characters are all well developed and fun to read. I had a little bit of trouble actually connecting with the thread of romance, but otherwise this was a great read that gave me more than a few VERY hearty chuckles!
