Police line, do not cross.
Rose Devlin is a fun friend with a good heart. Sage Tanton is her BFF with a psychic sense for trouble.
Protective of her family and friends, Rose is confident she can handle any situation without Sage's supernatural intervention. But then the unthinkable happens. Rose's action triggers one of Sage's visions about a child in danger. And once again, her life is turned upside down.
Getting the police involved throws Rose an unexpected romantic curveball. So, she does what she does best - jumps in feet first and finds herself out of the proverbial herbal teapot and into the flames.
Liar, liar, pants on fire, Detective Nathan Bryant knows that gorgeous woman he just met is not only deceitful but could be entirely insane. Now he can't stop lusting after her. Can a determined police detective help Rose achieve her long sought-after redemption or will they both retreat behind their yellow tape and lose out on love? Trust is a gift either has yet to give.
If you like a cozy mystery with humor, you'll love this fun-filled romantic chase that is sure to toss two best friends out of the frying pan and into the fire if they don't learn to open up to the police.

2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Rose Devlin is the best friend with a good heart a person could have. Sage Tanton is her best friend who is also psychic. Rose has protected Sage, as well as and her own family since childhood and nothing and no one is allowed to get in the way. Rose feels that she can handle any situation, even murder, without Sage's supernatural intervention. But when she runs into a police detective, and a little girl, Rose's reactions to the unexpected meetings triggers Sage's visions.
Nathan is a new police investigator and the man who ran into her while he was chasing a thief. Not long after Sage’s vision shows that the little girl Rose saw after being knocked down by Nathan is in danger. It is up to Rose and Sage to find the girl and save her before it's too late. Unfortunately, Rose needs to get the police involved without telling them about Sage’s abilities. Rose does what she always does, jumps in feet first and lands in Nathan’s arms.

Series: A Psychic Mystery Romance
Author: Shereen Vedam
Genre: Paranormal/Romance Cozy
Publisher: Amazon Digital Services LLC
Detective Nathan Bryant is a great character is Sage it Out. He knows that Rose is lying to him and he wonders if she isn’t a bit crazy. Despite his concern, Nathan finds himself completely over the moon for her and unable to stay away. He is instinctively protective of her and wants to help, but the past keeps coming back to haunt him. Trust is something he has a hard time giving, and this is an issue he and Rose share.
This is a sweet story, but it needs work. It is a nice paranormal romance with hints of danger. There is action but mainly towards the end. The characters are likable but unfortunately, not very believable. The situations Rose and Sage find themselves in are simply not possible. In real life, if people acted the way these two characters act with the police, they would have been arrested and sent to jail.
The love interest for both women is equally unrealistic. Police officers do not treat possible suspects, or those they think may be involved in illegal activities in the manner these male characters treat the two women. Even after the women continually lie to them about a case. People may well fall in love at first sight. However, police investigating a possible crime usually do not allow personal feelings to stand in the way of their job. They don’t take evidence in a crime investigation out of evidence and give it back to the “owner” even if that owner is a five-year-old girl.
The ending is the best part of this book over all. The writing is smooth, but the book needs editing and proper formatting. Unfortunately, the very last page of the book makes everything else pale in comparison to all the other unbelievable events. The ending had the potential to be great but was too abrupt with no back story to help the reader envision the scene.
All of this being said, the book does have moments that make the reader smile and even wish the events happened in real life. It isn’t a terrible book, but it is need of more depth, better-developed characters, and more believable scenarios.
