Nicki Sosebee is a strong, fun sassy woman who knows exactly what she wants whether it be a man or a story.  OK, so she's only a trainee reporter and still learning the ropes but that doesn't stop her hunting down a story and asking the awkward questions and pretty much figuring out the story behind the crime.  Not bad for a rookie!! Plus juggling being a reporter with being a waitress and selling make-up should put the reins on her personal life.  Yet she puts as much energy into her personal life as she does her professional and manages to end up in bed with some very hot men.In addition to her short loved affairs, she is attracted to and drawn to her best friend Sean.  Sean is equally attracted to and drawn to Nicki but neither will act on their feelings after a disastrous attempt whilst in college.  Add in to the mix an incredibly sexy Jesse who is attracted to Nicki and he is not afraid to act and make Nicki his own.  Of course being Sean's best friend is an added complication but who knows who Nicki will actually end up with?This is a collection of Nicki's first four stories: Got the Life, where Nicki is on the trail of an arsonist; Dead, which sees Nicki on the trail of a murderer with a possible political motive; No Place to Hide, which sees a serial rapist set Winchester on high alert and Nicki investigating; and Right Now, which sees a series of robberies taking place where odd items are taken.I loved the fun nature of these books - Nicki is a bright and bouncy woman, full of enthusiasm and no sense of danger.  Throughout these stories she ends up figuring things out before the cops do but ends up putting herself in danger.  But that's OK because she has two incredibly sexy men in her life who can rescue her!Nicki Sosebee reminds me of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, who is another sassy, strong woman with men decisions to make.  Nicki is a good reporter on her way to being a great reporter.  Works hard, plays hard and enjoys life.  With a great supporting cast of crazy friends and sexy men, this is a series to be followed.
