Synopsis (Goodreads):
Over forty. Divorced. Rocking a little revenge against the Ex. A dash of magic and things are suddenly looking up. Even if you do you have to cross your legs when you sneeze.

One day I'm married, living in Seattle, and magic isn't real.

The next, I'm divorced and living in the guest room of my ex's hotter-than-sin cousin's place in Savannah . . . and talking to an animated skeleton named Robert.

I have to admit, Robert isn't my worst date.

At forty-one, I didn't think I'd be starting over. But I'll be damned if my ex thinks I'm down and out because he pulled a fast one on me.

When a job comes my way that offers me a chance to use my childhood training in the shadow world, I take it - I need the money more than I care about my sanity.

It's dangerous.
I have to embrace the magic and dark of my past.
And I need Advil to keep me going.

But those who'd hold me back better sit up and take notice, because a new woman is in town, and she's not about to be counted out by anyone.

Even if she does groan when she rolls out of bed in the morning.
Thoughts on Midlife Bounty Hunter: I like what we have going on here. A 40+ year old who's ready to do whatever she needs to do to get her grandmother's house back (while hopefully sticking it to her ex in the best way possible), a couple of hunky dudes (one of which hold clear favor in my head and I'm 100% behind regardless of what shady deals might be going on in the background), and a nefarious plot to do bad, bad things.

Did I mention the hunky dudes? Because there sure are a lot of them around. Unfortunately, they all seem to have SOMETHING shady about them and Breena's not sure if any of them are trustworthy.

Which kind of sucks, really, because of that whole nefarious plot thing going on behind the scenes. It would be good to know who had your back and who you needed to keep an eye on. Instead, Breena's basically left to her own devices in that regard and she gets in a wee bit of trouble before she starts figuring things out.

A little dangerous (yeah, no. More than a little dangerous, I'd say. In fact, only Breena's experience in pushing through obstacles keeps her moving forward at a couple points), a little sexy, a lot fun. I don't know what's in store for this lady next, but her allies had best figure things out because saving everyone on her own is pretty taxing.
