Busting Loose (Busted series book 4) by Vanessa M. Knight Blog tour Spotlight with Excerpt & #giveaway @vanessamknight @goddessfishpromotions @tammystwocents X- @GoddessFish @TTCBooksandmore

In a world of lies and danger, the only thing harder than solving the case... is resisting the chemistry between them. 

Leticia "Leti" Ramirez has always found comfort in numbers. They're safe and reliable--unlike the disastrous setups her mom finds at the local dry cleaner. With her focus squarely on her career at Busted Detective Agency alongside her two best friends, Maggie and Danni, Leti is done with men and their drama.

Kevin Lane has been stateside way too long to still be working at his sister Maggie's detective agency. But the process for the Chicago Police Department is long and he has to keep at it if he wants to succeed. He doesn't have time for distractions like the beautiful, brainy Leti, but her long legs and killer smile are impossible to ignore.

When Leti and Kevin get wrapped up in a case that involves laundering money from children's charities, they quickly realize they are in over their heads. With attempted hit-and-runs and ominous threats closing in on them, they need to trust each other if they want to make it out of this alive.

EXCERPT

“And that’s when I knew I was going to be an insurance underwriter. I love assessing risk. It’s an exciting field.”
 
Leticia Ramirez ran a hand over the long sleeves of her dark blue cashmere mini dress. She’d actually dressed up for this—something she was slowly starting to regret with every word out of his mouth.

Phil rambled endlessly about his turtle, his new Prius and his “high-risk” job as an insurance
underwriter. Apparently, the pun was intended. And he was not too happy when she didn’t laugh out loud.

Since he was finally taking a breath, Leti decided to say a little something about herself. She
hadn’t had a chance to talk. Not once. It wasn’t like she wanted to just talk about her life and her dreams, but maybe if he’d asked her one question, she wouldn’t feel like she was a couture- wearing brick wall.

And then he smiled. It was a nice smile. Friendly. He grabbed his drink and kept talking—stuttering a little. It was almost sweet. He’d monopolized the conversation, but maybe
the guy was just nervous. After all, it wasn’t every day you got set up by someone’s parent.

Unless they were her parents. Her mother picked up a guy for her at the grocery store a few
weeks ago and brought him home for a weekly dinner. Utter disaster.

This guy, her mamá met through the seamstress at her dry cleaners. She needed to stop
agreeing to go on these “errand” dates.


 

Who is Vanessa M. Knight? Well, I’m an author. Wow. After years and years of wanting to use
those words, that is fun to say. It’s almost as fun as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Did I
spell that right?
 
I write contemporary romantic suspense.

I live in Chicagoland with my family and menagerie of four-legged friends. In my mind, these
lovely animals do everything as they should. I’m the alpha, keeping peace and harmony
amongst my humble servants. In real life, they own me. I’m the maid, here for their feeding
pleasure. Well, that and to clean up their messes.

When not catering to the needs of adorably-furry faces, I slug through the nine to five grind and head home so I can write. Of course, that’s after I make dinner and clean the house and all the other tasks that go into family life. So really, I work, cater to animals and my family… and then, if I don’t fall face first into bed, I write. I love putting my characters into crazy situations and watching how they react. I hope you love reading about them.

I love to hear from fans. I can be found on Facebook and on my website.
