Drop Dead Sexy | Katie Ashley

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 back woods 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?

Euhm, there IS such a thing as too many sex scenes. At least, for me, there is. The first few chapters are only about that, with not much else happening. So yeah, that's me bailing on this book!

AnnieReads I'm not a prude but my romance reads need to have a storyline. There are so many authors out there who write romance well: Jill Shalvis, Julia Quinn, Mary Balogh, Kristan Higgins, Julie Anne Long, etc. Lots of people rave about Belle Andre but the 2 I've read lacked a good story and just seemed like porn to me. 8y
reading.in.brussels YES! I completely agree with you - and I think we have the same tastes in this category of books. I haven't read many/any books of Mary Balogh and Julie Anne Long, but I'm a fan of all the other authors you have listed. And I remember bailing on one of Belle Andre's books. 8y

The prologue had me laughing out loud twice already. Promising!
On another note, I absolutely hate the cover of the book. I cannot even bring myself to upload a photo of it 😒
Edited to add image: apparently there's a movie by that name! Huh. Who would have guessed?

That-Bookish-Hiker That cover is questionable. Why do they always choose the cheesiest pics for romance? Lol 8y
