Publisher's summary

Though still suffering side effects from the injuries she sustained in a serious fall, Corey Curtis is off restricted duty and back at work in the morgue. Within hours of cutting the cast off her arm with a bone saw, she's asked by her former mentor to assist on a body recovery. Now she's elbow deep in decomposing human remains and a suspicious death that hits far too close to home.  

Just when her relationship with Dr. Thayer Reynolds has reached a new milestone, the new case tests Corey's limits while Thayer struggles with a difficult situation at work. Corey's impulsive nature has her hurtling down an all too familiar road with trouble around every corner.  

The only thing keeping the wheels from totally coming off is Thayer's unwavering love and support. But when the investigation comes full circle, everyone is caught off guard...threatening a most unhappy ending.

Bravo Ms. Elizabeth

Another great job by Lori Prince and enjoyable second book. Can’t wait to see what happens in Corey and Thayer life next. Hopefully it will be someone else in trouble.

Worth it

Another good story completing the first. These ladies seem to get in trouble every time. Lori Prince is amazing as usual and perfect for this story!

Excellent

loved the series. I've listened to and have a few books narrated by Lori Prince; I enjoyed the way she narrated this series best of all. this is My first book by Carolyn Elizabeth not my last. Great story line. I enjoyed all the characters. thank you

Great

One of my favorite new authors. Great story, and fantastic characters. Some LOL moments and just enough romance and mystery. LOVED IT

Funny! Funny Funny!

This is the 2nd book of the series and I was tickled pink about it! Fantastic writing by Carolyn Elizabeth and outstanding narration my one of my favorites, Lori Prince!

Can't wait for the next installment

I usually don't read series books where the main characters aren't replaced by a new power couple who takes the lead in the sequel. I've found myself bored in the past after I've watched the couple fall in love, go through their trials & tribulations, end up together, only to see it on repeat through every subsequent books. The Curtis & Reynolds series though, I think I would devour every book without ever getting bored if Carolyn Elizabeth continues on this streak of captivating characters & relationships, mysteries to unravel, and fun and thrilling storylines. I loved Dirt Nap (and Thayer & Corey) and hope there are many more books that follow in this series. Oh, and I also hope Nana Lil is in every single sequel as she's hilarious!

i love it

I love this book and I'm still kicking myself that it took me so long to read this book the author Lori voice actor did an amazing job she was amazing narrator and she was an amazing actor for the voice I hope look forward to seeing her in book 3 with these wonderful characters yeah I have to find out book 3 coming it's I believe couple months after New Year's I want to say but it is coming so I do look forward to seeing Lori back at it again with these characters with book three drops so



want to give a bit of a warning cuz I got the same warning and I'm very thankful for that person who wrote it if you looking at the comments please take this a heed the first opening up this book is a crime scene I'm not going to spoil the scene but don't eat anything okay. do not eat anything I don't care how strong you think your stomach is. you're going to be queasy and you going to your face is going to scrunch up the scenes very descriptive is a good scene and brings up a lot of emotions the characters just coming off of being injured last off

just picked up right where it left off and previous book which I do love it when books do that by the way so the scene was described very well Lori did an excellent job on this scene as the narrator

and Lori voice actor and painting the scene for you which sometimes it's hard to feel so it's a disturbing scene but again this is a medical book all characters in is a corner so I just gave us a different part of her job that we didn't get it really get to see in the first book so I really enjoyed that but it's like I said be careful. Other than that the book is great


and I say this to sign off this is a romance book to me it's a thriller / mystery book to me it's a friend book a represent the LGBT community very well that's me being a straight woman with friends that are in LGBT community.

I think it did a really good job with expression that community and I love the hell out of the book you know originally this was just for me to kick back and relax and I like to consider myself open-minded for most part all books so yeah I enjoy the hell out of this book I can't wait for book 3 you cannot go wrong step out of your comfort zone for a while.

especially if you're not a medical reader like myself I don't usually do medical books I do but it has to have some like actual action in it so this is not the kind of books.

like I said before but it's a good book is some good some angst between some of the characters as far as things happened between them and I think it was done very well there's a lot that happened in this book I want to talk about it but I don't want to spoil it well that's a hard thing about reviews you want to say what you want to say but you got to keep in mind that like myself I came into this book late so I could spoil it and I don't want to do that but it's just give it a try y'all just give it a try for new readers and for the ones that read the before we have a long to wait before book 3

Great.

I really enjoyed Dirt Nap. Lots of romance, interesting plot twists and action. Lori Prince does an excellent job with the narration in this book and in Gallows Humor.

Can’t wait for next in series! Keep them coming!

I love the characters in this series. I enjoyed every minute and look forward to where the author takes the everyone. I enjoy the little mysteries and the love story. Very sweet, interesting, and entertaining.

Enjoyed the storyline

But Lori Prince provides Terrific narration. Characters dilemmas are portrayed with interesting subtext, realism. Great combination

Natural follow on

Unlike so many sequels, this one follows on smoothly, without the feeling that it could have been part of the previous novel or that it could have been a stand-alone.

Narrator gets better as story progresses

This book would be an ok read but, as an audiobook, it is spoiled by the narrator. Although I don't think of it all as her fault, her standard of narration near the beginning of the audiobook is not good. Lori Prince frequently reads either too quickly or slowly and mostly sounds just like a computer. She runs her words together making them unintelligibile or spaces them out so the meaning of sentences are lost. Prince also gets confused about which voice belongs to what character.

However, these problems improve as the reading progresses and, to her credit, Prince does try to give each of the characters a different voice. Unfortunately, she or the director choose voices that make Corey sound stupid, the Sergeant and some other characters sound as if they have the worst ever colds, for the whole production.

You would think Tantor Audio's director for this audiobook project would cast an actor/reader with ability as a narrator or rehearse the actor until they could make a reasonable job of the task, but not so. It seems the thing Tantor productions and Audible are interested in is their profit margin because many of their LGBTQ+ audiobooks are read by inferior, badly prepared narrators, the production sounds rushed and the overall quality is noticeably inferior to audiobooks produced elsewhere. Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that LGBTQ+ audiobooks must not bring in the mega-bucks these companies lust after so they do not really care about the quality of their LGBTQ+ productions, just so long as Audible (Amazon) has titles it can sell.
