Life is going good for Olivia Davis. Really good. Her two businesses are going well - Splitsville.com, where she provides online breakups, and Color Me Love, where she matches couples up using her skills to read auras. However, life has a way of causing strife for Olivia, especially when it's going so well. When a Color Me Love client turns up dead, Olivia has to go undercover as a erotic film actress to try to find out who is setting her up and trying to frame her. If that is not enough Olivia is also trying to keep her secret identities a secret from Joel, her new love interest.I really enjoyed Splitsville.com and I was looking forward to seeing what kind of adventure and mischief Olivia would get into next. Well it turns out there is a lot of adventure AND mischief for Olivia as she tries to find out who killed Linda Minx, erotic film actress and client of Color Me Love.Tonya Kappes delivers a great story of mystery, mayhem and the underworld of seedy characters, porn stars and drugs. If it wasn't for the humor and laughs that Olivia provides you would think it would be a plotline for a thriller.  Alas, no this book is as cozy as you can get and as all my readers know I love cozy mysteries!! Color Me a Crime provides a perfect balance because the mystery was a first class suspenseful tale that kept me hooked as I tried to guess who was behind the murder, and the romance and colourful characters kept me intrigued as well.The ending of Color Me a Crime leaves a hint in the air of something more to come for Olivia, and I won't spoil the ending for my readers. I will say I am highly anticipating future instalments in this series. If you love your cozies with a large dose of adventure and some romance thrown in I highly recommend this series. It's fun, light and mysterious and bound to please every cozy mystery reader.
