I seriously love this series so much. Enough that even though I have eleventy billion books already waiting to be read, I dropped them all to dive into this book as soon as it became available on NetGalley. And it was worth it! Nick and Riley remain both hilarious and sexy (I would have loved a bit more sexy, but I think the lack of it was making a point) and the the secondary cast of characters are touching yet exasperating. This story was super fun as it brings in Riley's ridiculous and ridiculously awful ex-husband and his vapid fiancee. Burt remains a central player and I really hope there are more stories to come. Also, just saying, but I would totally read a series just about Kellen and Jasmine.

5 stars of fun. Thank you to Bloom and NetGalley for a complimentary ARC of this book. These opinions are my own.

Dear Lucy,

I consistently laughed, giggled, snorted, and shook my head through the whole book! I'm fairly certain my husband thinks I've lost it now, so thanks for that!

The Body in The Backyard is the fourth installment in the Riley Thorn series, and I swear they just keep getting funnier! If you haven't read the first three, I would highly recommend reading them first! The story will make much more sense, and they are all amazing! Every character in this series is well thought out and hilarious. They all make the best team. 👌 The humor is exceptional as well! Keep them coming, please!

Thank you, NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review. This series is in my top three favorites, and it came as the best possible time. I'm struggling. A good friend is in the ICU, and we have been reading this series together. I'm so very sad, but this book brought me some light in the dark.
