From talented debut author Simone Kelly comes this suspenseful novel that crackles with intrigue, sex, and plenty of surprisesperfect for fans of Zane and Carl Weber. Meet Jacques Berradi. Moroccan-born and Manhattan-raised, his genuine, sexy-smooth allure goes hand in hand with a unique gift. Since Jacques was young, he has had the ability to read peoples energies, communicate with spirit guides, and even catch glimpses of peoples futures. Now a professional intuitive counselor, Jacquess clients pay him handsomely for his insight. Unfortunately, Jacquess psychic abilities dont come with an off switch to tune out the worlds noise, nor do they always provide him with easy answers; recently Jacques has begun having dark, alarming dreams about his beloved father, a Moroccan immigrant who died when he was a boy. Meet Kylie Collins, an adventurous, Miami twentysomething who is trying to find her footing after being laid off from a cushy music industry job. When a mishap brings them together, Kylie is instantly mesmerized by Jacquess cool demeanor and intuitive abilities, and hes captivated by her outgoing charm and breezy good looks. Seeking to learn more about her family historyincluding the identity of the father shes never knownKylie visits Jacquess office to gain some insight about her future, and about her free-spirited and headstrong Jamaican mother, True. But on the night that they meet, a rolling blackout cuts off power throughout Miami. Kylie and Jacques, and a few of his clients, head to the only place in the neighborhood with enough light to see: Like a Fly on the Wall Detective Agency. There, Kylie serendipitously lands herself the perfect new job as an apprentice private eye. As partners, Jacques and Kylie are an unstoppable duo. Can Jacquess intuition reveal the scandalous history of Kylies mother and father? Will Kylies newfound detective skills uncover evidence about the death of Jacquess father? And will the chemistry that charges their friendship bubble over into something much, much hotter?

Bailedbailed

I made it 25% in but should have bailed sooner. I should have researched the author but from the blurb I got the impression this was suspense not erotica. TBH I had not gotten a hint as to what the plot was by the time I bailed. A 40-something psychic is seemingly uber attractive to women (partially because of his exotic heritage) and is torn between staying faithful to his gf (“we‘re not serious, just casual) and giving in to temptation. ⬇️

robinb The language was offensive (to me), and I finally threw in the towel when the 20-something heroine slept with her mother‘s boyfriend at 16 and continued a “relationship” for years. Ahhh, NO.

I made it to page 120 and had ro stop. It was getting too goofy when the romantic or love scenes rook place. The story about the psychic interested me but i couldn't get past the silliness of the book.

Throughly enjoyed reading "Like A Fly on the Wall". An easier page turner that you can get done in a few days. The characters will have you thinking and wondering and just maybe, jump on a plane to Morocco. Oh yes Jacques Berradi is all that and a bag of chips. You will definitely enjoy this ....Happy Reading...
