Description

From USA Today Best Selling Author Wendy Byrne comes the first book in a new romantic mystery series.

Down on her luck blues singer, Gabriella Santos, escapes her over-protective family, along with a series of bad relationships, for a gig in Chicago to prove she's not the flake her family believes her to be. But when she tangles with the sexy but aloof bar owner, Shane O'Neil, she starts to think she might have bitten off more than she can chew. Ex-special forces guy turned private detective and reluctant bar owner, Shane O'Neil has a laundry list of things he doesn't like, starting with cops. He also doesn't like a too-beautiful-for-her-own-good blues singer trying to tell him how to run his bar. She's pushy, chatty, high-maintenance, and does everything she can do to get under his skin. But when he ends up beaten to a pulp in a Chicago alley, he has no choice but to rely on Gabriella for help. Despite the sizzling chemistry between them, finding the balance between trust and commitment is a formidable task.

This is Shane and Gabriella’s book, Gabriella is the sexy stiletto wearing blues singer! Shane is ex special forces turned private detective and very reluctant bar owner. Gabriella, after a whole slew of bad relationships and a very overprotective family, runs off for a gig in Chicago to prove she’s not the flaky woman her family think she is! But when she gets to know the very sexy bar owner, she thinks she may have bitten off more than she can chew! Shane has a long list of things he doesn’t like starting with the cops! He also doesn’t like the sexy new blue singer at his bar, she’s pushy and high maintenance and sassy, and too sexy for her own good!! But when he ends up almost beaten to death in a Chicago Alley Gabriella is the one who nurses him back to health! Despite the sizzling chemistry between them can they find the balance between trust and commitment to see this relationship through? I really really love this book! It had a awesome story, it’s not really my usual read but I really loved it! I did have to takeoff a star because it’s told all in Gabriella’s POV I really can’t stand that LOL I was absolutely dying to know what Shane was thinking ?! UGH it bothers me so bad!! But the story made up for that, that’s why I gave it four stars normally in a single POV I only go two or three at the most but this book was really really good I just wish I knew what shane was thinking! And the book in a few spots kept pausing after almost every word?! But hopefully that’ll be fixed before it’s released? Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

The idea of the book was great, but I felt like it was not executed very well. The relationships were not fleshed out well and I did not feel any chemistry between the two main characters. I liked them separately, but I felt like something was missing. I think this book should have been longer and had more details. Right now it felt like reading a second or third installment in a series were you mostly had no clue what had happened before.

Mesmerizing tale of a Blues singer rescuing an ex-special forces agent from danger, a frame, and his past. The chemistry will snare you, the mystery will keep you hanging on. A 5-star must read that will hook you on this new series.
