Detective Cary Stevens is confused and sitting in Room
Six. The
problem is, where is room six and what happened to him?
The last thing
he remembers is being shot by the albino teen, who is a
member of the
Black Blood gang. The room is filled with other people
just waiting, but
for what? He begins talking with a gorgeous brunette
sitting next to him
who has labeled him a "Johnny Depp" Look-alike. She is
just as
confused as he is. Talking reveals that she was hit by
the truck belonging
to an albino, JD, while saving the life of a child, giving
them something in
common. Conversation reveals Chloe Sanders is suffering
from a fiancé
who committed suicide and has lost her will to write her
famous children's
books while operating her cupcake shop. Neither
understands if this is
truly the afterlife and are they passing on, or being
given a chance to go
back and do it again.
Cary wakes up in the hospital trying to remember his dream
of the
beautiful woman. Chloe also returns with the emergency
crew working
over her. Things get interesting when they each realize
their catastrophes
are linked. Chloe can identify the driver of the black
pickup, which could
end in JD's arrest and ultimately capture a killer.
Adamant to protect
Chloe from being hunted down by the gang, they spend all
their time
together while trying to work through their afterlife
memories. Chloe can't
entertain an involvement again with a man that will leave
her and Cary
certainly isn't a man to stick with one woman. Or can he?
But boy, the
sex is hot!
DIVORCED, DESPERATE, AND DEAD is the third book I have had
the pleasure of reading from the
Divorced and Desperate series. Hot, sexy, funny,
and
suspenseful, this is one you definitely don't want to
miss. While keeping
you on the edge of your seat, it also has you laughing
with hilarious
amusement. This is one of those stories that is pure
entertainment and I
absolutely loved it. Definitely a book you can't put
down! Christie Craig is a terrific,
talented author!
After a disastrous marriage and divorce, Detective Cary
Stevens vowed he’d never let another woman into his heart.
But when his latest investigation puts him in the way of a
bullet, his bachelor days—and one-night stands—may be
numbered. On the brink of death, he finds himself in Room
Six, a waiting room in the hereafter where in-betweeners’
fates are truly decided. He resigns himself to dying of
boredom, if nothing else, in the lineup of senior citizens
with their AARP magazines, when in walks the one woman who
could make him want a second chance at life . . . and
love.
Chloe Sanders learns the hard way that no good deed goes
unpunished when she pushes a little girl out of the way of
a
moving car and wakes up in some type of purgatory. Or
maybe
it’s heaven, because she couldn’t have asked for a hotter
guy with whom to await her final judgment. The sweeping
glances of his bedroom eyes and sharp-tongued
flirtatiousness tell her Cary’s certainly no angel, but is
he real? When she finally wakes up, Chloe’s determined to
find out if he’s truly a man of magnificent flesh and
blood
or just a figment of her imagination. But before she can
track him down, will the murderer that first put them both
in Room Six come back to finish the job?
