5 stars This book starts shortly after the ending of book one. Nicki, once again, finds herself in the midst of a potential crime. She and Sean are still pretending not to have romantic feelings for one another. At this point, I think it’s safe to say that Sean shares her feelings because there’s no way he doesn’t suspect how she feels about him (unless he is blinded by his own insecurities), and if he does know how she feels and continues to flaunt his “girlfriends” in front of her, he’s not much of a friend. If I find out at some point in the future that he doesn’t see her the way she sees him, I will be disgusted with him for being so selfish and self-absorbed. Meanwhile, Nicki hooks up with another stranger in this book, has the time of her life, and moves on. By the end of the book, she’s reconsidering Sean’s other best friend, Jessie, as a potential love interest. Sean seems to be okay with that, for now. Nicki finds herself in the crosshairs of another criminal, this time, a homicidal one. And because Sean rescued her the last time, I fully expected him to be the hero again, but this time, it’s Jessie (who had just procured Nicki’s number from Sean) who claims the role. I get the sense that Sean is disappointed that Nicki didn’t call on him for help, again indicating his deep connection to her. I have enjoyed the two Nicki Sosebee books, but I’m going to take a break from the series now to read something different. I recommend this series for anyone interested in following an intrepid reporter/waitress/makeup saleswoman as she navigates learning to be a better journalist and potentially encountering deadly situations, while screwing around with various men in an effort to forget about the man she really loves.
