A Surprisingly Suspenseful Ferrari Short Complete with a “Who Done it?” Twist…
With everything going on in the world this year I’ve been struggling with reading as much as I did mere months ago. As I’m sure many folks are, I’m emotionally spent and exhausted, and honestly just do not have the attention span needed to delve into the longer, darker fare I normally love. Which is why I’ve been thankful for Flora Ferrari’s quick, insta-everything stories lately. Her “A Man Who Knows What He Wants” series books are short, easy reads that offer up enough diversity of plot to keep your attention. Something you’ll enjoy immensely when reading a series with close to two-hundred installments.
This one, “Dad’s Detective Best Friend” is number 164 in the series line-up. It is the story of Matt and Lucy. Matt being a forty-something ex-police detective turned private investigator. And Lucy, a twentysomething woman who runs to Matt for help after her crooked police detective father Adam, Matt’s former best friend, is arrested. What follows is a surprisingly suspenseful story of mystery novel, “who done it?”, proportions. A story about how relationships can be strained almost to the point of breaking when doubt and uncertainty creep in over time. And how life events can change people into something even those closest to them no longer recognize.
I was actually rather shocked at how exciting and nail biting this book was. It was a new and refreshing twist on the Ferrari insta-everything romance, one that kept me on the edge of my seat, gobbling up each and every page. Additionally, unlike others in the series, this one is a bit more realistic, giving you a more plausible love connection (even if only by a tiny fraction). Here you will find yourself nodding in agreement with the decisions Matt makes because of Lucy, while you simultaneously rage at Adam for the danger he puts them all in.
However despite the fast-paced, heart pounding intrigue, the story still has all the things hardcore AMWKWHW fans love. It has all the insta-love, lust, and happily-ever-afters one would expect from a Ferrari short. And definitely worth the hour or so it takes to read.
Flora always does a great job crafting an action-packed short story.

This is another great book in the A Man Who Knows What He Wants series. It is fast-paced, has mystery, drama, a bit of action and danger and one big, handsome and sexy older man and a beautiful, innocent and curvy younger woman.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A story about Lucy and Matt. Lucy is a young lady who is determined to enlist the aid of Matt to prove that her father has been set up for a crime he says he did not commit. Matt used to be his best friend, but they have not spoken in ten years. This was a really good book that had relatable characters and a plot with some unexpected twists and turns. The insta love and insta heat between Lucy and Matt adds some sizzle. Ms. Ferrari is excellent at creating exactly what I like to read.

A well written story with instant attraction. Nice storyline and plot. Likeable characters who are well described and defined.
A story with a bit of action and mystery in it. But it has lots of chemistry and attraction. They have instantly sparks between them.
There is a steam, sparks and suspence in the story.
Recommendably, enjoyable and entertaining.
She’s beautiful, an armful of woman Matt wouldn’t mind holding onto tonight and every night he’s allowed to have on earth. Except she broke onto his property and he has to find out why. And Lucy might be as attracted to Matt as he is to her but she isn’t here to fall in love. She needs his help clearing her dad’s name, who also happens to be his best friend.
It’s a matter of whodunit with the culprit closer than anyone suspected. And in the process of proving Lucy’s dad was set up and keeping her safe, Matt discovers his initial instinct about her was right: she’s the only woman for him. The age difference doesn’t matter. His friendship with her dad doesn’t matter. Coming out with her by his side is all that matters.
I like that even though the attraction was instant, figuring out who framed Lucy’s dad still stood center stage. A definite enjoyable read with characters that stood on their own yet complimented each other so well.

Instant connection
This instalove story stars Matt and Lucy. Her father Adam is a police officer who’s got himself into some legal trouble. He claims he’s innocent of what he’s been accused of doing, and has been set up. But, he certainly hasn’t always been a clean cop.
Matt is now a private detective, having left the police force, sick of the corruption, especially from his best friend, Lucy’s father. Adam knows that Matt is the only one who could possibly help him with his problem, and sends Lucy to find him and seek that help. She doesn’t quite know how to go about things, and gets herself into a spot of bother too. However, from the first time they see each other (after a long ten years), the attraction is instant, and you just know there’s gonna be trouble 😉
There’s a bit of drama, lots of love and passion, and steamy scenes. It’s sweet and hot! And I loved the epilogues. I give this book four and a half stars, and already can’t wait for Flora’s next story!
