When
free-spirited, sixty-three year old, ex-Hollywood starlet, Lillian Redmond, sets off on a
quest to solve a forty-year old unsolved murder mystery, mayhem ensues!
Now this still-sexy runaway
grandma has many people on her trail, including her innocent granddaughter Lily who’s
as sexy a redhead as Lillian ever was, but who, totally unlike her feisty grandmother,
didn’t have a single adventurous bone in entire luscious body. Also pursuing Lillian
are some dangerous people who’re intent on preventing her from discovering anything.
And then there is also Archie Hunter following her; he’s a detective nearing
retirement age with a long lasting crush on Lillian. On Archie’s trail is his
irritated son, Sam, who’s also a detective. And all the while, Lillian is merrily
driving across the length and breadth of USA, trying to get leads and leading her pursuers
a merry chase.
Meanwhile Lily, who’s in grim
pursuit of her grandmother, is forced by circumstances to join forces and travel together
with Sam Hunter. From the instant Lily lays eyes on the handsome and sexy Sam, for the
very first time in her life this old-fashioned good girl experiences lust! But then
she’s engaged to be married. But will that deter her?! Now Sam is also equally
attracted to Lily, who’s an almost exact duplicate of the sexy siren her grandmother
used to be; but are those feelings for Lily or for the sexy vamp he’s admired so many
times on the big screen?! The two of them now have to track Lillian and all the while
avoid the goons who’re on their trail!
Read this hilarious narrative to
find for yourselves, who catches whom and how!
In “Chasing Lily”,
Dixie Kane has created a fun-filled and very entertaining story that cannot help but hook
its readers! The book has a bit of everything thrown in it – intriguing love
triangles, passion on many fronts, car chases, a bit a mystery, villains galore and what
not! Characters are also delightful and their antics will keep the readers in splits.
There is Sam, who’s fed up with women throwing themselves at him; Lily who along the
journey transforms from a naïve girl to a woman experiencing lust for the first time;
Lillian, a pure southern belle with a lust for life, love and danger unsurpassed; Archie
Malone, a man determined to solve the one unsolved case in his life, and many more. And
then there are the villains, who range from mob guys to ones that are more dangerous. And
all the while, they’re all trying to solve a very old murder mystery. The book is a
journey of discovery for its characters and one of revelry unrivalled for its readers.
Very charming and humorous.
