The plot is half mystery and half romance. Together the two find love while solving August’s first big case on his journey to being a real private eye. Sam finds August attractive and adorable and the sparks fly pretty quickly between the two when August’s latest case entangles Sam. He hasn’t been hugely successful just yet but he’s always managed to make rent, much to his landlord, Sam’s, relief. When an unexpected inheritance gives him the opportunity to live his dreams, he rents a small office and tries to make it work. more ys dreamed of being an old time detective. August is a chubby, video-loving old soul that alwa. It helped smooth over the second half of the book when the tension disappears, the sex scenes take over, and instant love rules the day. I think this author really gets the heart of the character she was portraying and it makes me buy into the humor. The strengths of the story are the fun characters, the shapeshifting to a chinchilla, the bumbling antics that actually solve a case, and the sly wink at private detectives in general. I’d be interested in reading more books about these characters as long as the focus is on the cases they’re trying to solve and less about the relationship.
Review 1: This was one of those books that starts off really strong, so strong that it carries the book when the second half drops off entirely.
