Jacquie's Reviews > Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door

Fans of Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayor’s Agnes and The Hitman and Darynda Jones’s Charley Davidson series will love this fun, flirty fake fiancée romantic comedy.

Riley Thorn has always dreamed of being the normal one in her admittedly weird and wonderful family, but a psychic vision of her annoying next door neighbor getting shot forces her to try and save his ungrateful butt, throwing Riley into a series of crazy misadventures. And the arms of a hot investigator who doesn’t take no for an answer.

Nick Santiago is happy with his life as a private investigator. He picks his own hours and sleeping partners. He’s a free agent and that’s just how he likes it. Until he meets the sassy, sexy Riley and begins to think he’s met his match. If he can keep her alive long enough to convince her, that is.

This is a fun action/adventure romance filled with characters guaranteed to have you laughing such as the eccentric seniors in Riley’s rooming house, her wild-child parents, or the spiritual guide sent to help her learn how to use her psychic gifts.

I love the witty repartee between Riley and Nick- they’re so cute! There are four books in this series and I can’t wait to jump into #2!
