Summary from Henery Press
Single mom and rookie P.I. Nicki Valentine rarely gets time off, so
attending a wedding with her superhot colleague Dean sounds dreamy. But
things turn nightmarish when the groom—a soon-to-be transplant
donor—disappears, and Nicki and Dean commit to a partnership they never
planned.
Together, they examine the groom’s unfulfilled promises,
including one to his mom, a psychic medium with an unusual health need.
As family secrets emerge, Nicki must face questions about her late
husband, whose long-ago betrayal still threatens to cloud her judgment.
With
support from her pole-dancing best friend, her always-on-call family,
and the loves of her life (her two kids—and possibly Dean), Nicki must
uncover the groom’s demons while conquering her own.
Nayu's thoughts
Looking
at the synopsis to help me write this review has made me laugh. I
loved this book! It's refreshing to have the character as a single
mother, and be new to helping others solve their mysteries. Minus a
scattering of scenes which weren't 100% for me, I adore Nicki's life.
Her work and home life clash, in good ways and in ways that had me
holdng my breath. Her best friend is quite a character, providing
entertainment that made me giggle and blush, adding lots of humour to
tough situations.
There
were constant plot twists – not for a million years would I have
guessed what the groom was donoring. That involved some googling to
check out the reality of that kind of donation (it's real, random,
yet real). It's not a kidney, or a lung. Or anything you'd guess
within 10 or 20 tries. Trust me. The way that Nicki finally
apprehends the culprit is also inventive. Nicki is definitely a think
on her feet kind of girl!
This
is read for the rainy days in your life, when you want some peril,
lots of surprises and laughter. So long as you're open minded about a
lot of issues you'll love Nicki's life. I'm looking forward to
reading more of her crazy life!
