Amelia Quinn was betrayed by her ex-fiancé, so getting back into the dating game feels a bit adventurous to her. And it becomes actually adventurous when she accidentally sits down at the wrong man's table for a date and kisses him! He turns out to be an FBI agent and now she's in on his case. And inspired by her favorite TV detectives, she's going to take her role VERY seriously. Which means, she also ends up in a bit of hot water herself when her encounter with a dead body doesn't exactly follow protocol. Can this hunky FBI agent save her from herself?

When I saw @BookstagramByAlissaMorgan recommend this book by saying it was a gender swap of the TV show Psych with a bunch of Psych references I IMMEDIATELY borrowed it from KU. And it was the most fun reading experience I have had in awhile. I wanted to find every single second and pocket or time to read this. I was up in the middle of the night devouring page after page.
Psych the TV is over the top and silly, but stays grounded with the mysteries and the hearts of the characters and their interactions. I was a little worried this book wouldn't strike the same balance, but it totally did.
I loved Amelia and Caleb and their banter and the juxtaposition of how they operate. Plus their chemistry was so magnetic and I couldn't wait til they were together again each time they were apart.
I will say my one note of dislike, which this is a dislike of this trope, not the writing, is I hate the "I don't want to turn out like my deadbeat parent, so I avoid relationships" trope. Maybe just because it doesn't resonate with me, but I always find it annoying and terrible reasoning.
Plus this book has fantastic references and Easter eggs that point back to the TV show that made it an even more fun read.
I had never heard of this author until this book and I'm mad a Bookstagram for not telling me about her sooner.

This is a closed door, kisses only rom com. It is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.
