⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Absolutely. Just when I think I can’t love Nick and Riley more, they do this. And by “this” I mean this entire happy, hilarious, cheeky book.

Her self-absorbed news anchor ex-husband careening back into her life was not on this amateur psychic detective’s bingo card. Not only does Griffin Gentry show up unexpectedly at Riley Thorn’s door, the real shock is that he’s begging her for help. Riley’s hot private investigator boyfriend Nick Santiago refusing to take the job is… well, less of a surprise. Too bad for Nick that his octogenarian business partner overrules him and takes the lead on Griffin’s case. But when a dead body makes it clear someone really is out to get Riley’s ex, the mile-long suspect list means all hands on deck at Santiago Investigations. Even the wrinkly, retired ones. It’s only a matter of time before Griffin brings the danger directly to their doorstep. And with Riley and Nick busy interviewing suspects, that leaves their elderly roommates to wreak havoc in the surveillance department. Can Riley block out the chaos to focus her psychic visions long enough to narrow down the list of suspects? Or will Griffin Gentry’s bad karma be the downfall of them all?

MY THOUGHTS

The banter and witty writing have reached new heights of awesomeness. I went back and read some parts twice, just because I enjoyed them so much. This is a series I can see myself reading again and again, just for the entertainment factor.

Nick was especially charming and I loved how much he loved Riley. The whole cast of characters brought their own A game and filled every scene with so much colour and joie-de-vivre.

If you enjoy over-the-top situations, exaggerated characters and action, and an epic romance, then this is definitely the series for you. It’s best to read them in order, as Nick and Riley’s life together grows.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
