"A terrific police procedural romantic suspense"
Irate that her fiancé Dean left her at the altar, Breanne
Mooreland goes on their honeymoon anyway so that she can
run up charges on the rat's credit card. She takes her
vibrator with her knowing that gave her more thrills than
Dean ever did. The trek in a snow storm to the cabin in
the Sierras is hellish, but she makes it to her
destination only to find a naked stud in her shower. San Francisco battle fatigued police vice squad detective
Cooper Scott picks up the vibrator that the woman who
ruined his shower dropped. He needs this vacation so he
refuses to allow an angry beautiful woman spoil his time
off. Besides with the storm there is no other lodging
available. They split the bed in half; during the night
both dreams of hot sex with the other. As he tries to
prove he is a nice guy who wants sex with her, Breanne
trips over a corpse. Snowbound, Cooper investigates
wondering who amongst the zany staff is a killer although
he prefers to investigate the body of his roommate. GET A CLUE is a terrific police procedural romantic
suspense as Cooper works the homicide as best he can in
accordance with procedures. The romance between the
recently burned Breanne and the burned out Cooper is
deftly handled as he struggles to get her to believe he
will not just leave (not that he can with the weather)
once they have sex. The eccentric support cast seems like
escapees from a loony farm, but in a wacky way enhance the
two subplots. If they do not know already, fans will GET
A CLUE that Jill Shalvis is a talented writer. Harriet Klausner
