Praise For Ripoff Book two in the series

5 Stars  Definitely a heroine and situation to root for  Kimberly comes back from a vacation or business trip and discovers her company is bankrupt and her boyfriend cleaned her out. Talk about a bad day. Having only about a month or two before her situation is dire she takes a job with the Federal prison system. She also discovers that she is not the only one her ex-boyfriend conned. Six of them band together and prevent him from suckering the next one. Instead they turn the tables on him. She also discovers an embezzlement scheme at work. Can she and two new friends prove what she thinks she has found? A really funny story where a woman fights back instead of staying a victim.  T Breakiron

It keeps you interested in what will happen next  I enjoyed this novel very much. It kept me wanting to keep reading so I could get to the end and find out if I had figured it out. I had not. Thank you.  James Kirkland

5 Stars  Funny and Fashionable  The action moves at a nice pace, and the characters are well conceived and interesting. Our heroines have some serious human frailties, which make the women easy to like and to root for. Of the three, Kate is probably the one that could have used just a little more fine-tuning. Cool cougar Kimberly and giggly, plastic surgery aficionado Cameron seriously outshine the somewhat reserved redhead. The novel's villains are nasty and greedy, but the authors also give them plenty of vulnerability. I wanted to see them caught, but I also felt sorry for them.

In the end, though, RIPOFF: A FUNNY CRIME CAPER lives up to its title. It's a quick, enjoyable read where the good triumph over the naughty look good while doing so!   C. Lahain

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many thanks to all of my writer friends and family who have supported me throughout my writing career, the development of this book and other books in this series.

Sometimes, just when you think you have the plot together you get a sudden inspiration for something that will make it better, or maybe you find the pieces of the puzzle don’t completely fit. Then it is back to the keyboard and maybe even rethinking the plot. Suddenly, there it is—the perfect solution.

That happened in this book when while I was researching for a little-known type of crime for the plot I discovered information about the really clever money laundering scheme that was raided in the Los Angeles Fashion District. What could be better?

Also a big thank you to women who have shared stories about how they trusted the wrong people and what it led to. You might find a little piece of yourself in this book.
