From the NY Times Bestselling duo that wrote Agnes and the Hitman, the second book in a new series. Liz Danger is a ghostwriter, trapped in her old hometown for the summer. Good thing she has Vince Cooper, her recurring one-night stand living down by the river in his old diner car, making her feel happy and safe and normal until September when she’ll be leaving again, although she’s starting to wonder if she really wants to. Vince Cooper is a cop in a town with a shady new housing development that’s bringing a lot of armed strangers, a corrupt mayor, a police chief boss under fire, and an idiot blogger stirring up trouble. Good thing his recurring one-night stand is sticking around for the summer. The only drawback? He’s not looking forward to the empty space Liz Danger will leave behind her when she goes in September. Treacherous small-town politics, a rust belt biker gang, a widowed ex who doesn’t understand the word “no,” a seven-year-old in need of a temporary mom, a flamboyant blonde boss who needs watched at all times, exploding family secrets, arson, murder, and three hundred and ninety-two soaking wet teddy bears later, Liz and Vince will come face to face with the madman burning down their town, and even worse, with their imploding relationship. “A comic caper and raucous romance. . . laugh out loud funny.” Kirkus Reviews on Agnes and the Hitman “A sex, sassy, and smart combination of romance and suspense that is simply irresistible.” Booklist on Don’t Look Down Rest in There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight.
The male lead in this series drives a Jeep Gladiator and I hate them and every time the character calls it a Jeep I roll my eyes or make a derogatory comment. Why do I care so much? Well mostly because it's fun to be salty. On the other side of this, the female lead calls it a Gladiola and I'm here for that. This has nothing to do with the actual story or book lol. I'm enjoying it so far. Always found Crusie to be a fun read. Mayer is growing on me. Too bad about the Gladiator thing though. I'm gonna hold that against him. (j/k - mostly)

This is the second book in a series and it took me a bit to get into it in the beginng, but once I did I was all in and had a hard time stopping. Which messed with my sleep! I love the humor Crusie puts in her stories and all the whacky characters. I enjoy the tough guy bad ass hero who in also not an alphahole creep. And maybe I identify with Liz and all her t-shirts.
