BLURB BLITZ: SPOTLIGHT & GIVEAWAY - EYE SPY BY JENNA MATTISON


EYE SPY
BY
JENNA MATTISON












BLURB:

When Liza Radley realizes it’s cheatin’ season and no self-respecting detective’s gonna spy on her husband for the $800 and change she has hidden in a plastic soap dish, she does what any normal transplanted Georgia Peach would do--she becomes a private eye. While downing her fourth maple-glazed curbside, Liza discovers “Eye Spy”, a shop for the self-motivated sleuth in the heart of Boston. Inspiration strikes and she enters the world of Jack Parella, the owner/operator who talks like Humphrey Bogart but with a Southie accent and is more than willing to train Liza in the ways of amateur sleuthing, while simultaneously infuriating and titillating her. Though Liza starts the journey intending to rebuild her crumbling suburban life, she finds herself thrust into a fiery mystery as head of "Crimes of the Heart Detective Agency" with Parella by her side. Thus our dynamic duo is primed for their next adventure.




Excerpt:

Speak of the devil, Mr. Cocky Parella himself saunters in from the back room vigorously chomping, half a sub sandwich in hand. The moment he spots me a goofy grin crosses his face.
           
“Of all the spy shops in the world she had to walk into mine.” He utters this with his mouth full so it’s even more ridiculous.
           
I roll my eyes, of course, but I can’t help but let a small grin escape. He is a bit charming, I guess. And damn, can he fill out a pair of jeans.
           
Yumm.
           
“What’s up, doll?”
           
“I need some sort of listening device. Something small that I can put in a coat pocket or something.” 
           
He eyes the ratty wig dangling from my fingers and cocks a brow.
           
“Oh, and I also want to return this.”
           
As I drop the mangled black hairball on the counter, I immediately regret my decision. Jack lets out a chuckle. I quickly grab the unsightly wig and tuck it back into my satchel.
           
“Umm, actually… never mind. I’m just going to keep it…for like Halloween or something.”
           
“Yeah, you do that. Now I can definitely help you with the audio surveillance. How much you wanna spend?”
           
“How much do I have to spend?” We lock eyes for a moment and he gives me that wry smirk again.
           
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll give you the hot broad discount.”
           
Butterflies and dirty tingles.
