Please help identify this mystery series

The 'humorous' mystery series is about a young woman who has psychic abilities but she can't control them. I think she works for a newpaper and she loves lingerie. I think there were only about 3 books in the series. Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Janet Evanovich's FULL BLAST

From the above description, I would be disappointed if this was it!

(This is the 3rd book the 2 have teamed up in). There are more killings that also seem to link back to the personals section. Max and Jamie go undercover along with a "clairvoyant" named Destiny to see if they can ferret out who the killer is. So Jamie and Destiny date the different men, compare notes with Max and his computer "muffin" at the same time as Max and Jamie continue to fight their desires for each other. At one point Jamie who has frequented the new lingerie shop is very "tipsy" and decided to show Max, at his B&B room, her new lingerie and at the same time that she does the door opens to the owner of the B&B, making Jamie the talk of the town.
You can see it has the keywords but the whole seems to be somewhat less here than the sum of its parts!

No it's not it, but thanks anyway.

The character is kind of similar to Stephanie Plum, but her involvement in the 'mystery' is more accidental.

In case anyone is interested, I found the series - it's Stella the Stargazer by Christine Jorgensen.
