Gael, Alicia – Murder, Mayhem and Sex on the Beach

I enjoyed this book.
It is a light hearted, humorous, story about the evolution of the ongoing friends with benefits situation between Riley (a probation officer) and Tate (a cop). There is also plenty of action (0f the criminal and crime solving type) to help the story along. Or is a cop/probation story with a side helping of their relationship?
Either way, it works.
Riley has a Kinsey Millhone way about her – lives in a very small apartment above a garage with an onsite landlord, doesn’t really cook, shop, etc. Rolls out of bed and out to work (apart from the frequent sex she has with Tate). Riley wants to do this job while she applies to the FBI – but seems fairly settled and the application still has not been completed.
This is a good story based on years of work in the probation service – they say write what you know!
I like the casual author name dropping – of books that Riley reads. Always makes me laugh when you see which authors are considered worthy of a mention.

There is of course an epilogue.
A year later and there has been no FBI application while there relationship is now acknowledged and established.

This is an interesting read – the years of experience replacing the need to research. Both efficient and effective.
