Drop Dead Sexy 

By Katie Ashley

Synopsis:

For Olivia Sullivan, love is more a four letter curse word than a sentiment. Growing up as the daughter of a small town mortician, guys didn’t warm to the fact there were dead people in her house. At thirty, taking over the family business and becoming the town Coroner helped to cement her undateable status. Of course her past sex history didn’t help matters either.

Attempt number one with her first love ended barely before it got started with a horrific latex allergy hospitalization. Attempt number two had him coming and then going with an undiagnosed heart condition. For the past three years, Olivia has closed up shop for fear of what might happen next in the bedroom.

After being forced to go single to her mother’s lingerie shower, Olivia stumbles into an out of town bar with one intention: find an able bodied stud to go home with to end her losing sex streak. Enter Holden Caulfield Mains aka Catcher, who earned his nickname not just from the book he was named for, but for the fact he was sure to catch the attention any woman who came within a five mile radius. Waking up after a night of the most mind blowing sex she could have ever imagined, a horrified Olivia runs away thinking she’s left Catcher behind.

When Olivia’s small town is wracked by its first murder, she never could have imagined her one night stand would reappear in the form of the GBI’s lead investigator. To her mortification, Catcher isn’t ready to let go of their sizzling chemistry, and he doesn’t understand the meaning of no. As things start to heat up between them, the body count starts to rise, and they’re led on a wild goose chase from backwoods mountain Nudist Colonies to altercations with the Dixie Mafia. Can Olivia and Catcher survive to solve the murder while also not succumbing to their explosive passion?

Michel’s Review

Drop Dead Sexy by Katie Ashley is a fun romantic suspense novel that will have the readers sitting on the edge of their seats while laughing their butts off.  It’s a who done it story in a backwoods southern small town.  The sexy GBI agent, Catcher Mains and coroner/ mortician, Olivia Sullivan are on the case.  Solving the mystery of pharmacist Randall “Randy” Dickinson’s life and murder is going to keep them pretty busy, as well as trying to keep their clothes on and hands off each other.  Who said one night stands were only for one night?

Olivia has been down on her luck in the love and sex department.  When she finally decides to jump on the horse and take a ride again, she meets the best stud in the stable. She meets Catcher Mains, a man that is drop dead sexy.  After a memorable one night stand, Olivia takes the walk of shame back to her small town with memories of a scorching night.  When her small town gets their first murder case, she would of never dreamed that GBI agent, Catcher Mains would be assigned to the case.  He’s determined to make her part of the investigation.  He’s determined to get in her panties again.

The case is full of surprises.  Randy had a lot of secrets.  He was not your average small town pharmacist that sang in the church choir.  His connections lead them to a nudist colony ( oops…I mean nudist resort), a snake charming evangelist, a hoodoo witch, and the dixie mafia.  In between the investigation, Catcher and Olivia are doing their own private investigating of each other.

Olivia’s grandmother and mother are picking out the china patterns.  Olivia’s losing the cobwebs. Catcher is clearing Olivia’s cobwebs and weaving a web of his own.

I absolutely loved this book.  It was fun and full of suspense.  Katy nailed the small town Georgia mentality and atmosphere.  I live near the area where the story takes place, I can throw a rock out my back door and it would land in Elijay.  She nailed it and gave this story an authentic feel.

I highly recommend Drop Dead Sexy by Katie Ashley!
