Synopsis
For Olivia Sullivan, love is more a four letter curse word than a sentiment. Growing up as the daughter of a small town mortician, guys didn’t warm to the fact there were dead people in her house. At thirty, taking over the family business and becoming the town Coroner helped to cement her undateable status. Of course her past sex history didn’t help matters either.
Attempt number one with her first love ended barely before it got started with a horrific latex allergy hospitalization. Attempt number two had him coming and then going with an undiagnosed heart condition. For the past three years, Olivia has closed up shop for fear of what might happen next in the bedroom.
After being forced to go single to her mother’s lingerie shower, Olivia stumbles into an out of town bar with one intention: find an able bodied stud to go home with to end her losing sex streak. Enter Holden Caulfield Mains aka Catcher, who earned his nickname not just from the book he was named for, but for the fact he was sure to catch the attention any woman who came within a five mile radius. Waking up after a night of the most mind blowing sex she could have ever imagined, a horrified Olivia runs away thinking she’s left Catcher behind.
When Olivia’s small town is wracked by its first murder, she never could have imagined her one night stand would reappear in the form of the GBI’s lead investigator. To her mortification, Catcher isn’t ready to let go of their sizzling chemistry, and he doesn’t understand the meaning of no. As things start to heat up between them, the body count starts to rise, and they’re led on a wild goose chase from backwoods mountain Nudist Colonies to altercations with the Dixie Mafia. Can Olivia and Catcher survive to solve the murder while also not succumbing to their explosive passion?

Review
On a “search for cock,” Olivia Sullivan, the “town’s dateless wonder,” meets Catcher Mains – a man more than willing to give her vagina a thorough workout and turn her nightmarish sexual experiences into ones of utter fantasy, proving to Olivia that she definitely knows how to use her assets; she just needed the right man to help show her the way.
I haven’t read a lot of romantic comedies lately, so getting to read one that has quirky, likable characters, witty banter, and off the wall situations was exactly what I needed.
An unmarried, 30 year old mortician/coroner is bound to turn a fair number of guys off simply due to her daily job requirements, but add in the fact that her previous relationships have ended in morbidly curious ways and it makes sense that Olivia decided to keep her legs closed and her attraction temped down, remaining single because she doesn’t want to experience anymore awkward sexual encounters.
But a woman has needs and personal stimulation can only fulfill the need for so long until it becomes necessary for physical contact with another body, and so Olivia may not be a one night stand kinda girl, but she figures she has nothing to lose and only orgasms to gain when she stops off at a redneck bar looking for a man to make her cry out in ecstasy and not in torment.
Catcher Mains is drop dead sexy, and for some reason, Olivia’s profession and her quirkiness turn him on, and thankfully, Catcher shows Olivia what sex can be like with his dirty talk and dirty deeds, and when their one night stand turns into something more amidst a murder investigation, crazy antics, and extraordinary findings, Olivia must let go o her fear and hold on to Catcher because he’s ready and willing to take a number of rides with her.
Drop Dead Sexy is a charming, comedic, and steamy read that will have readers laughing out loud, rubbing their legs together, and shaking their head with the antics that ensue as the inferno between Olivia and Catcher continues to burn and the investigation that brought them together rages out of control.
