I’ve been reading a lot lately, which is always a good thing for a writer! But it can be challenging to stop editing the stuff in my head and just lose myself in the story. Recently, a friend recommended Jennifer Crusie’s Bet Me, so I grabbed it from KU and checked it out. Contemporary romance normally doesn’t interest me much, but I was engaged by this story from page 1. It’s an older story (about as old as Among the Living, which predated smartphones!) but I found the characters totally engrossing. So much so that I said no to an invitation to go out for ice cream so I could stay home and finish it. That’s a good story!

Don’t worry, though, there’s always time for ice cream. And a puzzle ;-)

Where on earth does he put it?

Vic Can Be Bribed With Ice Cream

From Subtle Bodies:

I licked all around the perimeter of my cone—a really assertive power-move resulting in a massive mouthful of ice cream—to keep it from christening my suit. 

“Don’t worry,” I said through the ice cream, “just trying to make sure I don’t end up wearing it.”

Jacob gave me the side-eye.

Need to catch up before the next PsyCop hits the shelves (if all goes well, later this Fall?) Subtle Bodies is available in Kindle / KU / Audio / Paperback
