Suds and Sam: First Four in Series Kindle Edition
"What the heck are you doing here? I could've killed you!"
"Sugar, I strolled on up, whistling. I figured you couldn't miss me."
A dick in Manhattan? You've got to be kidding me.
Don't get me wrong. I respect she's got plenty of attitude. I especially hold her Uncle Vinny, a mob boss, in high esteem. Both he and her police-chief father explain how I should book my own funeral if I mess with her.
Not much for authority, I thank them for their concern. However, she's mine and I plan on keeping her.
When she goes missing, at first I figure she's miffed. Yeah, I may not always take her career as seriously as she'd like. But hey, didn't I help her solve the missing-cat-caper? That should count for something, right?
When she doesn't answer my texts, I check with her family and my stupid heart stops.
Where the hell is she?
Suds and Sam will make you laugh and yet keep you turning one more page all night long.
Grab your copy now.
Note: Beware of healthy, passionate, panty-melting scenes. No cliffhangers. Happy ending guaranteed.

Review
The characters are funny and sweet, at the same time there's such a fierce independence about them both... Shannon Patterson
I have to say, Sam's family is hilarious!...Simone Haeseler
I highly recommend this book and author. I can't wait to read more.
I enjoyed this story so much, I just could not put it down!
Yes I'm in LOVE with Suds and Sam. I don't think I've laughed so much and even had a tear a time or two. Great storyline with great characters.
My oh my, I keep thinking "Stella, that was the best yet" and then the next one I read proves me wrong!
Ms. Alden's stories are superb, bust a gut laughing, a little bit of suspense... a few cracked relatives, and hot sex scenes, it's spectacular.
Detectives, check, murder and general mayhem, check, crazy family, check, and, last but not least, panty melting sex, triple check
fantastic book and my favorite Suds and Sam so far!
Awesome strong characters that are a joy to read and sure to put a smile on your face and in your heart
Didn't think Sam's family could get more crazy and out of control? Think again!
Thank you Stella for giving us such a fun series.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2020I couldn't put down this series! Suds (the guy) and Sam (the gal) are so realistic, relatable and engaging that I loved them more and more with each book. They come from such different life experiences that their relationship struggles are perfectly natural, and beautifully realistic. I was rooting for their happiness all the way through the four books, while enjoying the humor of their lives and the quirky realism of the other people in their lives.
These books are like Stephanie Plum novels written at a deep, gritty level.
I highly, highly recommend them!

- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020These two people are hilarious. They run a detective agency. She has an uncle who is a mob boss and a father who is the police chief. He's an ex seal with ptsd and a family that is just as whacked as hers. Funny, caring, sweet and romantic. When they are not solving crimes they are usually in bed. Great stories and a pleasure to read.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020What a fantastic couple! Suds, a former Navy Seal with Southern charm and Sam, a firecracker from Brooklyn with a mob family are a perfect pair. Loved these first 4 books of their continuing story. Stella is a phenomenal writer and I can't wait to continue this series as well as reading her other books.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2020Really fun reads with a great cat and a very understanding man!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2020Not since Stephanie Plum have I enjoyed a series so much. It has mystery but is actually a love story between a man with PTSD but with a need to protect, and a women who seems to attract trouble. Looking forward to more.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this series
This is awesome, having the first four books in this series all together. Sam (Samantha) is an awesome strong female lead character. Sebastian is a great character too, he is strong and loyal, and the whole series is incredibly entertaining.
- Rita WhinfieldReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 25, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars The course of true love!
This was a quite exciting read. Sam and Sebastian still have issues in some areas but life can't always be perfect and we find out Sebs family is just as crazy as hers. Read it, it's worth it.
- TrinaReviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2020
4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable
I really enjoyed these books and I’m looking forward to the next escapade of the fledgling Private Detectives!
Both characters are well rounded and likeable though I did want to bash their heads together a few times!
The chemistry between them could set fire to your kindle but as you’re made aware very early on that they’re madly in love with each other the many (lucky them) steamy moments don’t feel too gratuitous.
I would recommend if you want a lighthearted, sexy and in places genuinely roll your eyes funny read. :)
