RITA Reader Challenge Review

Be Careful What You Kiss For by Jane Lynne Daniels

This RITA® Reader Challenge 2015 review was written by Becky. This story was nominated for the RITA® in the Paranormal Romance category.

The summary:

When a psychic gives Tensley the chance to erase her biggest regret and replay her life with the one who got away, who would have thought a simple “do-over” could go so terribly wrong—and feel so right?

TAKE IT…
When Tensley Tanner-Starbrook gets the chance for one life “do-over” from a well-intentioned but bumbling psychic, she goes for it. But that change turns everything else upside down. Instead of a buttoned-up corporate executive, she’s now an entirely unbuttoned exotic dancer. And she’s face to…face with the one man she’s never been able to get over.

TO THE MAX
Detective Max Hunter has come a long way from high-school bad boy, and with everything on the line, nothing can stop him…except seeing his first love dancing in the club he’s been assigned to investigate. Torn between getting her far away from the place and needing her help as an insider, he knows only two things for sure: Tensley’s stirring feelings he thought long ago buried, and a relationship with her would be career suicide. Yet, maybe, just maybe, this was a love meant to overcome the past.

Here is Becky's review:

What a delight! I’m not a fan of paranormals with demons and werewolves, but give me a time-travel and I’m all over it. The problem I usually have with time-travels, though, is the believability in how the time travel happens. This book is refreshingly funny, with a great twist on the usual time travel devices. 

Tensley, against her better judgement, visits a psychic who offers her a chance for a do-over, to correct her greatest mistake. She agrees, thinking she can get back at her scheming ex-boss, who used her body and mind before tossing her aside in favor of his wife. But the psychic thinks her greatest mistake happened years before the boss came into her life and sends Tensley back to deal with her former high-school sweetheart. I totally bought the time travel aspect when she left the psychic’s office and stood scantily-clad at a stripper pole with her old boyfriend, Max, in attendance at the strip club. Whoops!
This book was laugh-out-loud funny in parts, and I loved the continuing thread of a reference to Tupperware containers.  If I had to find a flaw with the book, I would say I had a bit of a hard time understanding why Max needed Tensley to be an undercover stripper. He could have solved the case on his own. But where’s the fun in that? I’m going to give Ms. Daniels an A-.
