RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - Drop Dead Sexy by Katie Ashley

Synopsis:

For Olivia Sullivan, love is more a four letter curse word than a sentiment. Growing up as the daughter of a small town mortician, guys didn’t warm to the fact there were dead people in her house. At thirty, taking over the family business and becoming the town Coroner helped to cement her undateable status. Of course her past sex history didn’t help matters either.

Attempt number one with her first love ended barely before it got started with a horrific latex allergy hospitalization. Attempt number two had him coming and then going with an undiagnosed heart condition. For the past three years, Olivia has closed up shop for fear of what might happen next in the bedroom.

After being forced to go single to her mother’s lingerie shower, Olivia stumbles into an out of town bar with one intention: find an able bodied stud to go home with to end her losing sex streak. Enter Holden Caulfield Mains aka Catcher, who earned his nickname not just from the book he was named for, but for the fact he was sure to catch the attention any woman who came within a five mile radius. Waking up after a night of the most mind blowing sex she could have ever imagined, a horrified Olivia runs away thinking she’s left Catcher behind.

When Olivia’s small town is wracked by its first murder, she never could have imagined her one night stand would reappear in the form of the GBI’s lead investigator. To her mortification, Catcher isn’t ready to let go of their sizzling chemistry, and he doesn’t understand the meaning of no. As things start to heat up between them, the body count starts to rise, and they’re led on a wild goose chase from backwoods mountain Nudist Colonies to altercations with the Dixie Mafia. Can Olivia and Catcher survive to solve the murder while also not succumbing to their explosive passion?

This is a book that had me laughing from start to finish. How can you not laugh at the misfortunes Olivia has endured when it comes to any sort of romantic relationship? I can promise you though, I will never look at an eggplant the same way again after this book. And just when she thought she was over that first incident from high school, her next beau didn't quite work out the way she would have preferred. Pretty sure that would traumatize me for life!

I enjoyed everything about this book, from Olivia with her less-than-stellar love life, Catcher and his slightly inflated ego, Olive and her man-enhancing yarb, and without a doubt Pease. I will strive to be like her when I finally grow up! I love the chemistry between Olivia and Catcher, yeah his ego might be just a tad inflated, but he's so into Olivia right from the start that you can't help but to fall just a bit in love with him. So not only do you get an unexpected romance with them, we get a side helping of a murder mystery, a nudist colony (er, resort), hillbilly hoodoo, the Dixie Mafia, one man with two peens and another man whose peen met an unfortunate demise. Even with all that happening, Olivia finally gets her HEA.
