Carlotta had it all until her father was arrested and decided to jump bail and disappear with her mother leaving her behind to raise her little brother, Wesley in a townhouse that would be considered a dump in comparison to what they were living in before. Carlotta was set to be married to Peter, her only true love, but he couldn't take the pressure from his prestigious family and he dumped Carlotta and married Angela. Angela is a frequent customer of Carlotta’s at Neiman Marcus or she was until she was found dead in her own backyard. Carlotta gets herself right in the middle of the investigation and is surprised to find there are three men in her life she might be interested in if she had the time between keeping her brother out of trouble, trying to solve a murder and trying to avoid being murdered by some shady men from her brothers past. Follow Carlotta through this sexy, funny, and unpredictable mystery.
Prior to reading this book I read several reviews on Goodreads.com and honestly I wasn’t looking forward to the book but after a few chapters I couldn’t figure out why the reviews weren’t favorable. I do agree that the Wesley character in the book makes a lot of mistakes but this poor boy was left by his parents at a very young age and had to grow up very quickly so I believe the trouble he makes can be expected with the history of the character. I do have a hard time relating to Carlotta some of the time because throughout the book she does things that are very irresponsible but again it does fit the history of the character. I must say I was impressed with this book and the characters. Stephanie Bond did a great job expanding on all her characters and not just the main character. I have already downloaded the second book in the series and I can not wait to begin reading it.
