Reviews:
“From the scenery to the characters, this book is told colorfully and vividly. You feel like you are in this small town and a part of the investigation. Plus, the sex scenes put Charlaine Harris to shame. Highly recommend for a light vacation read!” –Welkerbear, Amazon
“A well-written, light-hearted mystery/romance novel. The sex-deprived protagonist keeps everything interesting with her snarky observations…it’s kind of like if you took Claire Danes character from “My So Called Life,” dropped her in a quirky beach town, and added a murder and a handful of blush-worthy sex scenes. So yeah, pretty good. To quote Charlie: “It made my ovaries twinge.” And I don’t even have ovaries!” –Adam F., Amazon
“I never read a “romance novel” before Book ‘Em by Michele Gibney. It’s funny, fast-paced, an easy fun read. Recommended for young-at-heart women (or men who read romance novels) in search of a lighthearted romp.. I mean, story… Er you know.” –Ivan, GoodReads
