Story
The bride is a doll. The groom is the perfect gentleman. But the rest of the wedding party? They're the stuff of nightmares. Rich? Check. Vapid? Double check. Entitled? Not enough checks in the world. And the best man? More like the worst man. But maid of honor Franchesca takes her duties seriously. Kidnapped groom? She's got this. Rude attendees? You just watch her handle them. So a best man with a big attitude and an even bigger...checkbook? Yeah, there's no way she's going to let that pretentious, judgmental jackhole ruin her best friend's wedding. No matter how sexy he is.

Carter Pierce is a man who believes in signs. He just doesn't know what to do with this one. In the small town of Blue Moon Bend, where everybody is a matchmaker and a tie-dye wearing hippie, Carter wants to be left alone to tend the family farm. After returning from Afghanistan with scars, his only goal is recovery. He doesn't need distractions. Definitely not one with silver-blonde hair who just keep getting in his way.

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.

He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

I was going into what I thought was a hockey marketing meeting, and then bam! I'm going to be a dad and my best friend/teammate is attempting to imprint my face with his fist. Threats were tossed around, friendships were revoked, and then I was marched up to her apartment, suitcases in hand, and forced to live with her so I could take care of her every need. Now I'm finding it harder and harder not to fall for my best friend's little sister.

The quintessential question asked to every couple. And the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid’s arrow. My meet cute (well, not so meet cute) is slightly different. I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous who consequently just fired me.

A hot story
- By Demetra Toula Iliopoulos on 14-11-21
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.

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.
