This is a fun and flirty cozy mystery novella with just the right amount of romance added in. Kyra had once been down on her luck. When she got caught stealing, Pete, a handsome Hawaiian cop, slid her a break and helped her get on her feet. Now she has a haphazard sort of investigation service - and no license.Kyra is a cute, appealing heroine who is always sticking her neck out and getting herself in trouble. Pete is very protective over her, except he treats her like a little sister rather than a girlfriend. She keeps hoping their relationship will change to a romance, but their communications keep misfiring.When Kyra goes undercover as a prostitute to search for clues about a client's sister and other missing prostitutes, the mix-up with Pete gets even worse. Thinking she is desperate for money, he does all he can to keep her from walking the streets  - including making her spend the night in his own bedroom. Could it be Pete secretly loves Kyra as much as she loves him? Or will she forever be just a little sister?Although some of the subject matter touches on serious crimes, the tone of this cozy novella is light and breezy, laced with humor and romance throughout. A fast-paced, enjoyable read!
