Story
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job in my office, after being hired by my mother. So, maybe, her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe, I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe, my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

Story
June Tucker doesn’t understand people. Numbers, data, and statistics? Those make sense. People? Not so much. In a town of Friday night fighters and moonshine-swilling line dancers, she’s the odd duck. And that suits her just fine. But her sister and friends are pairing off, and the change is unsettling. George “GT” Thompson was at the top of his game — one of the best receivers in football. But a career-ending injury sidelined him for good. Now he’s hoping to find relief in the healing waters of this tiny West Virginia town.

Story
When Blair Beaufort literally crashes into Bellamy Creek wearing a ball gown and a tiara, I should have towed her car, said goodnight, and sent her packing. I’m a mechanic, not a hotel manager. I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my shop from going under, my overbearing mother off my back, and my baseball team in contention for the league championship. I don’t have time for a former debutante with zero street smarts and a cash flow problem, even if she is crazy beautiful. But I know better than to think it can last. She wants a fairy tale, and I’m no prince.

Story
All those years of adolescent fantasies and this was how Bowie Bodine first touched my boobs. And he apologized. Real life was stupid and unfair. Small town deputy Cassidy Tucker’s dating life is a train wreck on repeat. All she ever wanted was a solid partner. A man to share pajamas with. Cassidy’s officially giving up on love and adopting cats. Good thing the cold case disappearance of Callie Kendall is heating up to keep her distracted. Except the investigation is testing her friendship with all the Bodines - Bowie in particular.

Up there with the Best!
- By Lynne Saez on 08-09-2019
Publisher's Summary
A nice, normal life. Is that too much to ask? For Riley Thorn it is.
Divorced. Broke. Living with a pack of elderly roommates. And those hallucinations she’s diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they’re clairvoyant visions.
Just when things can’t get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for a neighbor...who turns up murdered.
Nick Santiago doesn’t play well with others. Unless the “others” are of the female persuasion. Wink. He’s a rebel, a black sheep, a man who prefers a buffet of options to being stuck with the same entrée every night, if you catch his drift.
When the pretty, possibly psychic Riley lands at the top of the list of suspects, Nick volunteers to find out whodunit. Only because he likes solving mysteries not because he wants to flex his heroic muscles for the damsel in distress.
All they have to do is figure out who pulled the trigger, keep the by-the-book detective with a grudge at bay, and deal with a stranger claiming he was sent to help Riley hone her psychic gifts. All before the killer discovers she’s a loose end that requires snipping.

Superb
So I don’t love ALL of Lucy Score’s books, because they CAN be a bit slow. But the ones I liked, I LOVE. She writes romance about adults who act like adults, ever the relationships grow out of the individuals’ growth that becomes a natural flow into the couple. This book is, by far, my favorite. It’s definitely going into my all time favorites. So much fun, love the couple, love all the cooky side characters. I really, REALLY hope she makes it into a series of delightful psychic crime solving fun and romance!

Funny read
Great narration. I would have rather had a duet, but still great.
This isn’t a typical Lucy Score book, but that’s one of the many reasons I love her writing. She has such a variety of styles and tropes. She has something for everyone. This was kind of a return to the humor that’s closer to the Blue Moon series, but not exactly. I think fans of the Stephanie Plum series (like me) will love this one. It’s RomCom with a side of suspense, or suspense with a side of RomCom. I laughed so many times while trying to solve the mystery.
Nick and Riley are such a fun duo with lots of chemistry. The reluctant psychic bit was the perfect addition to the storyline. The P.I. business was a great outlet for everything. So many things could happen for any future books. Hint, hint. As always there’s plenty of witty banter and shenanigans. Riley has the best neighbors. I might want to be Mrs Penny when I grow up. I’m not going to tell who did it. You’ll have to read it yourself to find out. I would have preferred less of a slow burn and more bedroom time.

Lots of Fun!
I enjoyed this book about a family of psychics and murder. The characters were hilarious and eccentric, the story line held my attention throughout the entire book and the romance was sweet. The ending was good and it left an opening for another book, I hope. Nathalie Duke was exceptional as the narrator and I hung on her every word. This was a long audio book and I loved, it's well worth a credit.
