Werewolf Lucy Lyle has just caught a ruff new case: sniff out the stalker preying on a couple of male strippers. Should be easy enough, except it seems that the only scent Lucy’s wolf is interested in is that of the scrumptious new client. Human client. Too bad they’ve sworn off humans for good. But like a dog with a bone, the harried PI is determined to solve the case, facing down the dangers of strip club locker rooms, waxing strips, law professors, smart mouthed police officers, and, worst of all, true love.
He’s a stripper. His mouth could be carrying a sexually transmitted disease.”
The women giggled and guffawed.
“That couldn’t be it,” Jazz persisted. “You’re a dog. You probably lick your own butt after a good run through the woods.”
She had a point. Sort of. I mean, I don’t really lick myself...my wolf, however.... Well, I try not to think about it.
“Aren’t dog’s mouths cleaner than a human’s?” Andi asked with her typical naivety. It’s one of her charms.
“That’s a myth,” Amelia informed us all.
“And also, I’m not a dog,” I added, in case anybody cared.
“Whatever,” Lillian retorted with a dismissive wave of her hand. “Get back to the point. What’s wrong with Mr. Yummy over there?”
I gave a shrug. “Nothing’s really wrong with him.”
“You got that right,” Andi agreed, her eyes straying Yummy’s way again.
“But he’s too...”
Her eyes jerked back to me expectantly. The whole party watched me, waiting with baited breath. Well...with bad breath, honestly.
“Human,” I finished. “He’s just too human.”
Lucy’s Life Rule #1: Never get involved with a human. It was also Rule #2, 5, 8, and 20.

DeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteOh this book looks so good! I know you write a variety of romance, but was wondering if you had a favorite to write?
ReplyDeletehi, laura! thanks for stopping by! i'm glad you liked the excerpt. it was a fun scene to write. one of my favorite parts of writing is the dialogue between friends. as far as my favorite, i kind of bounce around a bit! i tend to write more than one manuscript at a time, and try to make them as different from each other as i can. while writing this series, i am also working on a suspense dealing with more serious themes. i use one kind to balance the other as i go. lately, i admit, i like the comedy more than the dark. in the next book of the series, though, i might mix a bit of the two!

ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by, kim. and yes, good luck with the raffle.
DeleteThank you for the excerpt and giveaway.
ReplyDeletehi, beth! yes, this was a fun scene to write. i always enjoy writing dialogue between gal pals, and these ones were just slightly inebriated...maybe more than slightly. which makes for a little extra fun.
DeleteI like the sound of this book. A female P.I. looking for the stalker of couple of male strippers! And she's a werewolf attracted to a human on top of it. Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeletethanks, jo-anne! i hope you enjoy it. let me know what you think!
Deletethis looks cute
ReplyDeletehi, dj. thanks for stopping by. it does look cute, doesn't it? they did a great job with the cover, and it was an especially fun story to write. i can't take all the credit, though. i had a wonderful cast to work with...;)
