She's on the rocks.
Flynn Daly needs a drink. Under the crush of family guilt, she's agreed to move out of her dangerous South Boston neighborhood and join the family business. Her first assignment: running the inn left by a deceased aunt Flynn's never even heard of. The problem? It's in the middle of the country where there's nature and bugs and no public transport; her dead aunt is haunting her dreams; and the hotel's bartender is making her lose her mind. in more ways than one.
Make it a double.
When bartender Jake Tucker's beloved boss meets an untimely end, he intends to find out who's behind it. If cozying up to the eccentric niece gets him the information he needs, so be it. But once he gets close to that wild hair and captivating smile, he decides that some things are more fun with a partner. even if she sees dead people. After all, for a woman like Flynn, he'd be nuts not to go for it. |
RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 
Lani Diane Rich has a knack for creating memorable characters
and light, but thoughtful, stories. CRAZY IN LOVE is another example of that gift, even
though it is pretty easy to figure out and is rather silly at times. Neither of
those points take away from the pleasure of entering Rich's made-up world in
Scheintown, NY, but actually enhances it enough to make it a funny and smart
contemporary read.
