The Black Widow Trainer #3
Hanging by a Thread
Primed and ready for another big adventure, Misty heads to Las Vegas to train Salvatore, a high-powered casino owner. Much to her chagrin, Misty’s friends talk her in to taking on an apprentice, Monique, who wants to learn the ins and outs of being a Black Widow Trainer. Misty’s rival both in physical ability and allure, Monique is trouble from the get-go, vexing Misty every step of the way. And when Salvatore’s sadistic side rears its ugly head, Misty wonders what she has gotten herself into. If it weren’t for her temporary bodyguard, Thor, her new romantic acquaintance, Gary, and the helpful hands of her masseur, Esteban, Misty wouldn’t know which way to turn.
In a move unprecedented in Misty’s career, she breaks her contract with Salvatore, and he vows to hunt her down. She and Monique hide out in the beautiful Virgin Islands, where they reunite with Captain Kev and Miniature Mike, two memorable clients from Misty’s Alaska adventure. Suddenly they find themselves embroiled in a situation even more harrowing than the one they escaped. Part romance, part sexual adventure, and part dark thriller, Hanging by a Thread is a sizzling conclusion to the Black Widow Trainer Series.

Ok, by far this is my favorite!! (I RECEIVED THIS BOOK FOR FREE FROM THE AUTHOR)
What is better than sex, guns, the mob, love and self reflection??? NOTHING!!!
Misty has done a lot of growing up and up until this point her plan was fool proof. She has been able to charge these obscene prices for her services because she can deliver (in more ways than one). Well, this book finds her in a bit of a predicament in her business. She has to use her brain to get out of this one but not without taking a few people with her on this adventure to good old LAS VEGAS. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Well, not entirely. I don't want to include any of the super spoilers here but trust me when I say its almost non stop action and intrigue.
Some of my favorite characters from the earlier books show up and play their parts in this action/sensual thriller. There is a part that will blow your socks off but that's all I can say. The character development was amazing. The perspective of the book changes across the characters, so there is a chance to experience the same thing through different eyes. In my opinion, this is a hard way to write without making it seem like everyone wants the same outcome. One of things I really liked was how the bad guys had varying degrees of bad, does that make sense? I actually liked one them!!
All in all, I really enjoyed this and the ending had me guessing. Misty is a woman just like so many of us out there trying to find out who she really is. And like most of us, she runs into some bumps, some toads and a Prince along the way.

This is a fitting end to a great trilogy. I enjoyed each book thoroughly. Each book was different yet the storyline continued throughout all three. The characters shifting in and out was an interesting change it was like re-acquainting with old friends. Hanging by a thread brought it all to a conclusion. Hope to see these characters again in the future. Craig you did a great job.

Do not suggest this for my LDS friends.
I did enjoy this book and its concluding story to the series the most. There was a lot of action and the characters have really grown and developed.
This book starts right where book two left off. Misty and Miguel have really grown over the course of the books and it has been fun to see their development.

I loved this book!! I hate to see the series end though!! It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next! I would recommend this book/ series to everyone to read! Never saw the direction the ending was going but it turned out to be perfect! Great job Mr. Odanovich!
