Riley Parker: temp, twink, geek... sleuth?
Maybe Riley isn't living up to his full potential, but being a temp executive assistant suits him. He's never bored at work, he's got friends who let him geek out, and he's got a carefully crafted twink exterior... which might be getting constrictive now that he's on the other side of 30. Life isn't perfect, but it's comfortable.It all unravels when he takes a job working for a tea-obsessed cosmetics queen, the owner of Gautier Cosmetics. During the launch party for a new product, Riley finds his boss dead under suspicious circumstances, and the homicide detective is none other than Tadeo Martin, Riley's high school obsession who never knew he was alive.Tad drafts Riley to get the scoop on the inner workings of Gautier, and for Riley, it's like a drug. His natural inquisitiveness is rewarded with more and more Tad. Unfortunately, his snooping puts him in the running for two other roles: suspect and victim. The killer doesn't care which.©2017 KC Burn (P)2017 Dreamspinner Press
"engaging mystery with a touch of romance"
I love this cover. I can see this as Riley.
Tea or Consequences is a great who-dun-it mystery with many characters to choose from. Riley is a temp assistant to a busy corporate woman. She has two children a son and daughter both working in the company, There is a receptionist that becomes his friend and a secret younger husband.
The investigating officer happens to turn out to be Riley's first crush, Tad. Riley helps to find the real killer and clear his name putting himself in danger.
There are so many twists and turns here and the story is fast paced keeping you wanting to turn the page or in my case listen till it's over as I did.
Darcy Stark is a new to me narrator but won't be a stranger. I loved his mellow voice, the pacing was fabulous and he had distinct voices for most of the characters.
- Author of gay erotic romance, writing for Loose Id, Carina Press & Dreamspinner Press. Occasionally NSFW. KC Burn has been writing for as long as she can remember and is a sucker for happy endings (of all kinds). After moving from Toronto to Florida for her husband to take a dream job, she discovered a love of gay romance and fulfilled a dream of her own—getting published. After a few years of editing web content by day, and neglecting her supportive, understanding hubby and needy cat at night to write stories about men loving men, she was uprooted yet again and now resides in California. Writing is always fun and rewarding, but writing about her guys is the most fun she’s had in a long time, and she hopes you’ll enjoy them as much as she does.
Thanks for the good review, Cat. The title took me back to when I did Tea & Sympathy in college playing the young MC, and was proud about how well the audience received it. - Purple Reader,
