Genre:
Romantic Suspense, Mystery, Adventure
Rivers
don’t let rocks hold them back. River Nightingale has decided to
blow past the rocky men in her life.
She’s
played by the rules for too long—especially when it came to her
career as a cop. She was the top closer of cases for years, but
promotions in her small town cop shop went to her less productive
male counterparts. River decides it’s time to change careers. She
leaves her small town to purchase a Seattle private detective agency
and become her own boss.
Homicide
Detective Gage Hamlin takes pride in his job; he closes cases and
fosters justice. All that changed the day River Nightingale sauntered
into his office. River has him questioning his pride, his cases, and
his aversion to private detectives, especially beautiful private
detectives.
River’s
client thinks Gage got it wrong, and River is forced to prove Gage
missed a murder. Will River and Gage find a way to play nice, or will
River be forced to leave Gage behind?
Twice
As Bad
Miss
Demeanor, P.I. Book 2
For
private investigator River Nightingale, the stakes are high, and her
losses are twice as bad.
River
has already lost a partner to a better job, and now a truck has mowed
down another partner and a key informant. Her surviving crew is
reeling and dead set on finding the killer. Working with them is a
Seattle PD homicide detective, Gage Hamlin. Gage and River have been
a volatile combination since day one, but now it’s twice as tense,
as they both seek the killer and Gage struggles to keep River
alive.
On
the waterfront, Seattle is known for slinging fish, but River’s
stakeout of a seafood plant reveals that fish aren’t the only thing
being sold on the docks. And if River isn’t careful, fish aren’t
the only thing that will end up dead on the docks.
Looming
dangers lurk closer with every clue River uncovers. River’s
business, her relationship, her friends, and her life are all in
jeopardy. And the cost of solving the case is at least twice as bad
as usual.
What a refreshingly fun read!
This was a light-hearted read that provided for a relaxing afternoon
The author is new to me but I will definitely be looking into her work.
River and her girlfriends have had enough of the boys club!
Together they decide to take control of their futures while doing what they do best.
Welcome the birth of Misdemeanors P.I.
This is a first in series
We meet the cast of the series - not in-depth but enough to get an idea of their personalities and how they fit into the overall picture.
River is a blast. The saying about dynamite and small packages definitely applies to her.
Gage is a true gentleman and knows when to admit defeat and be the bigger person.
I enjoyed the simplicity of the story line.
A touch of action blended with just the right tang of 'who done it'
The romance is closed door but it definitely is there
I'm looking forward to the next in series
