I had read reviews before downloading this book and they were very positive or I'd not have downloaded it. I would assume this book is self edited because there are a number of occasions where the wrong word or phrase is used. I also would assume this author does not know any actual straight men. These "men" do not act or speak like men. They act like what a 14 year old girl would think men should act like.This is, apparently, the first in a series. It ends in a ridiculous place. Seriously, this has to be one of the worst books I have ever read. I continued reading it because I could not believe it was so awful and yet had such good reviews. My mind is boggled.Spoiler for Chapter 1 follows: This book begins with an accident. She's on her way to meet her husband at a restaurant and is late. She ends up in a head on collision and guess who is driving the other car? Yep... her husband. Here's the question... why is he going in the opposite direction of the restaurant she is rushing to get to? Oh wait... that's not enough? He's apparently in mid-oral sex with someone who is in the car he's driving when the accident happens. So he's supposed to be meeting his wife for dinner in a restaurant for their anniversary and he's driving in the opposite direction receiving some.... pleasuring... when he plows into his own wife's car. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.At one point, she pays cash for a car. No questions asked. The salesman who she does not even know, helps her sneak away from her protective detail (mind you, her face is very very beat up and black and blue at this point and the car dealer does not even pause for thought before assisting in her insane plan, then later sneaks her back to her old car and once again sneaks her to the storage where she's hiding the new car. What kind of shady car dealer is this? I'm sorry, does she not live in America where you can't pay cash for a car and walk out w/o filling out a TON of forms to make sure it's not drug money? Plus, this money was lying around her house in a duffle bag. She's a private investigator... where do the mountains of cash come from? She also buys an entire houseful of furniture and "decorations" all in one day w/o blinking about the money, let's a near total stranger into her life and lets him choose the "decorations" for her house because apparently straight men are really good at that, rents a storage unit over the phone (nope, I work in self storage and we do not do that),Apparently life as a PI has not told this woman that you don't trust strange men who you meet by falling over your feet into your lap. She also knows the most wishy washy man in the world who has been in love with her for years but is TOTALLY ok with her dating him and some stranger at the same time while she decides who she wants to be with and even discusses her plans and dates with him. Um... right.Don't bother to read this. These are just a FEW of the horrendous glaring ridiculous things in this book. It's really really awful.  I review a fair number of the books I read and usually do not go on like this but I was totally taken in by the positive reviews I read and didn't want anyone else to waste their time!
