Men of the Sisterhood #5
Hot Shot
The a group of women bound by friendship and a quest for justice. Now their male allies, the Men of the Sisterhood, have formed a top-secret organization of their own, with the same goal of helping the helpless and righting the wrongs of the world . . . Loyalty is a way of life for the Sisterhood and their significant others. When lawyer Lizzie Fox’s husband, Cosmo Cricket, is left critically injured after being shot by an unknown assailant, the men of BOLO Consultants head straight for Las Vegas to comfort Lizzie—and to uncover a dangerous enemy in the City of Sin. As head of Nevada’s Gaming Commission, Cosmo has powerful enemies. Yet the shooting seems to be related to one of his private projects. Built in the desert outside Las Vegas, Happy Village is a flourishing community for seniors who have lost a spouse. Cosmo’s widowed father found new purpose in running the venture. But the neighborhood that’s now home to Happy Village was once run by rival gangs, a complicated past that has come to haunt the place. Jack, Harry, and the rest of the crew need to remove the threat, risking everything to take on a vicious and mysterious gang leader known only as Hot Shot. And while the men of the Sisterhood fight for justice for their friend, Cosmo is fighting for his life—and the stakes have never been higher . . .

About the author
Fern Michaels
426 books6,526 followersFern Michaels isn’t a person. I’m not sure she’s an entity either since an entity is something with separate existence. Fern Michaels® is what I DO. Me, Mary Ruth Kuczkir. Growing up in Hastings, Pennsylvania, I was called Ruth. I became Mary when I entered the business world where first names were the order of the day. To this day, family and friends call me Dink, a name my father gave me when I was born because according to him I was ‘a dinky little thing’ weighing in at four and a half pounds. However, I answer to Fern since people are more comfortable with a name they can pronounce.
As they say, the past is prologue. I grew up, got a job, got married, had five kids. When my youngest went off to Kindergarten, my husband told me to get off my ass and get a job. Those were his exact words. I didn’t know how to do anything except be a wife and mother. I was also a voracious reader having cut my teeth on The Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Cherry Ames and the like. The library was a magical place for me. It still is to this day. Rather than face the outside world with no skills, I decided to write a book. For some reason that didn’t intimidate me. As my husband said at the time, stupid is as stupid does. Guess what, I don’t have that husband any more. Guess what else! I wrote 99 books, most of them New York Times Best Sellers.
Moving right along here . . . Several years ago I left Ballantine Books, parted company with my agent, sold my house in New Jersey that I had lived in all my married life and in 1993 moved to South Carolina. I figured if I was going to go through trauma let it be all at one time. It was a breeze. The kids were all on their own at that point. The dump was a 300 year old plantation house that is listed in the National Registry that I remodeled. Today it is beyond belief as are the gardens and the equally old Angel Oaks that drip Spanish moss. Unfortunately, I could not get my ghost to relocate. This ghost has been documented by previous owners. Mary Margaret as we call her, is “a friendly”. She is also mischievous. It took me two weeks to figure out that she didn’t like my coffee cups. They would slide off the table or counter or else they’d break in the dishwasher. I bought red checkered ones. All are intact as of this writing. She moves pillows from one room to the other and she stops all the clocks in the house at 9:10 in the a.m. at least once a week. When the Azaleas are in bloom, and only then, I find blooms on my night stand. I have this glorious front porch and during the warm months I see my swing moving early in the morning when the air is still and again late in the day. She doesn’t spook the dogs. I always know when she’s around because the five of them line up and look like they’re at a tennis match. As of this writing we’re co-habiting nicely.
Most writers love what they do and I’m no exception. I love it when I get a germ of an idea and get it down on paper. I love breathing life into my characters. I love writing about women who persevere and prevail because that’s what I had to do to get to this point in time. It’s another way of saying it doesn’t matter where you’ve been, what matters is where you’re going and how you get there. The day I finally prevailed was the day I was inducted into the New Jersey Literary Hall of Fame. For me it was an awesome day and there are no words to describe it.
I’ve been telling stories and scribbling for 37 years. I hope I can continue for another 37 years. It wasn’t easy during some of those years. As I said, I had to persevere. My old Polish grandmother said something to me when I was little that I never forgot. She said when God is good to you, you have to give back. For a while I didn’t know how to do that. When I finally figured it out I set up The Fern Michaels® Foundation.

This happens to be the first pocket book kind of a novel I read. The plot of the story revolves around figuring out the mystery behind certain someone with power gets shot but survives. Bunch of friends of the shot guy and his wife's take it upon themselves to investigate the series of events that lead to the shooting. I find the end hilarious. I won't disclose the ending but I was like seriously!!!!!
I would have liked the story to have some police work mentioned but I guess that's fiction for you. Overall, I think if you are used to reading books without much thinking then you may like it. I personally didn't enjoy it much but then I am not the target reader for such books either.

This was definitely a better read than some of the others. I liked that the story was about Lizzie and Cosmo. We have to see what happens next.

I loved this recent episode of the Men of the Sisterhood. Just when you think you have it figured out it changes . Wow what a story! Can’t wait for the next one. The Sisterhood has always been a favourite read of mine. Fern Michaels is a great weaver of tales

I was totally missing something with this book, my first experience with the series and the author. The narrative starts slow, stays slow, and turned into a snoozer for me. A large list of characters, Jack Emery is the protagonist. He's the one with the large shepherd, Cyrus, and I'm usually a sucker for a book with a dog.
Happy Village is a senior facility now overseen by a rich and powerful half-partner, Cosmo Cricket, who is gunned down early in the book and his wife Lizzie Fox, pretty powerful in her own right, sends out a missive for help. Cosmo left in place after he rehabbed the complex a gang to protect the Village from a rival gang that previously ruled the area in a seedy part of Las Vegas.
As the plot moves into ever more characters and them into the dark web, things proceed from slow to nasty. Jack and his cronies set up a plan of action to look into what is going on with the shooting of Cosmo, resident disappearances at Happy Village, and the person controlling the gang of despots. The antagonist(s) is no surprise.
The conclusion rolled into a climax that becomes horrific. I actually had to slow down and read that part to really understand they were doing what I thought they were doing. There were edit misses along the way and words together with no space and words separated by a space. A reference to the biker gang having nine or ten Har leys (sic) which "translates to nineteen or twenty gang members" was almost funny. (Not unless nine or ten Harley-riding gang members were riding "bitch." Not going to happen.)
I had a few other nit-picky issues, but you get the idea. I would try reading another by this author--but not in the same series. I received this digital download from the publisher through NetGalley. Sad to say, it just didn't work for me. 2.5/5 stars

I received Hot Shots in a Goodreads giveaway, and this is my fair and honest review. This is the first book in the series that I have read, so I was a little lost with all the characters in the storyline never havning met them before. Overall I found the book to be very well written, it was action packed even if I did find it a little far out there in comparsion to what I normally enjoy reading. The book contained alot of twists and turns, and I am sure those that have followed the whole series would enjoy the book more than I did. Having said that it was a decent read and I would give it a 3.5 stars.

I have read most if the books in the Sisterhood series, but only a couple in this series. In this book, Cosmo Cricket, husband of Lizzie Fox Cricket and woman in her own right, has been shot and is near death. The men in the lives of the Sisterhood members come “a runnin’”, hoping to save the day. Cosmo was shot in the village he set up for seniors who have lost a spouse, Happy Village. Once the area was run by gangs, but now that seems to have passed, though the history continues on. The men find an interesting but complex situation when they arrive. No one knows who shot Cosmo, and finding the perpetrator becomes their foremost task. As they work through clues, they find out there is a lot going on in the area behind the scenes requiring them to ferret through it all to figure out what happened to Cosmo.
Since I had read some of this series and most of the Sisterhood series, I was familiar with the characters and their modus operandi, so this book was no surprise. The story takes many twists and turns, with lots of red herrings to add to the enjoyment/confusion. To its credit, this story brought out he softer side of the men involved, which only made them more likable. Yes, it was a bit fantastic, but, then, it is fiction and most of the books in these series fit this description. If you enjoyed the others in the two series, you will probably enjoy this one. I am not sure about how much enjoyment there will be for a newbie to the whole series, as things are a bit different and knowing who everyone is with a lot of back story also helps However, the book reads fast and is entertaining. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

Hot Shot: The Men of the Sisterhood is written by Fern Michaels. This book is really good; but it is not quite like the other books. There isn’t as much action as in the others. However, the action that is present is very good.
Lizzie Fox Cricket has been sitting at her husband’s bedside since she arrived. Cosmos Cricket is in a coma fighting for his life. He was gunned down at the building site next to Happy Village home. Since the people living in the home are elderly, they usually had the volume set for high on their TV’s so they could hear the programs. They didn’t know anything had happened until the sirens on the ambulance caught their attention. They were upset that someone as nice as Cosmos was hurt. The men of the Sisterhood arrived quickly after hearing of the attack on Cosmos. They immediately began to take charge. They brought in a doctor who was also a friend of Cosmos’ as well as the top surgeon in the nation. The doctor and Jack Emery forced Lizzie to go home and sleep while the doctor sat with Cosmos. Reluctantly, Lizzie did so.
The men split up the jobs and set out to do them, hoping to catch a break. Would they be able to find the person or persons who shot Cosmos? Would they be able to find the man behind the attempted murder?
The book is easy to read and keeps your attention.

This is another good book in the Sisterhood Series. Honestly, I believe this is one of the books that I have enjoyed the most. There were so many twists and turns found within the story, not to mention the introduction of additional characters. I really enjoyed having more background on the characters requiring assistance by the Men of the Sisterhood. The residents of Happy Village allowed me to not only be invested in what happened to the characters and how they felt, but it also provided a softer side to the Men of the Sisterhood. Allowing one of the gangs to show a change and turn their lives around was an inspiring part of the story as well. Thank you to NetGalley, Fern Michaels and the publisher for an advance copy of this book.

I don't know what it is about these books. I don't think they are that well written, but it's kind of like watching an accident or a fire, you can't stop reading them. The men of BOLO are on hand when they hear that Lizzie Fox' husband, Cosmo Cricket, head of the Nevada Gaming Commission, has been shot and is in serious condition. Joint property ownership, gang initiations and secrets are all part of the mystery, that takes the BOLO men a while to figure out. What's more, at a senior residential area that Cosmo owns with another man, people have been going missing for over a year, with no trace.

I have loved this series for years and still do with each new book. I think you could probably jump into this book without having read the others, but you will miss some of the back story of characters.
Since I"m so invested in these characters over the course of two long running series, this book had me a bit on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen to Cosmo and Lizzie!
The only things that threw me a little off were some of the Vegas descriptions...we never get 100% humidity
Overall an enjoyable book I couldn't put down. Eagerly awaiting the next book!

September 26, 2019 *I was given this book free to review, Thank You! Whew! This is a fast paced book with a lot of interesting characters- only I left off one star because that was kinda the problem, there were too many characters to get to know them all! Very hard to keep straight who is whom! Love the senior citizen community idea- loved the way the book started out, and adored the doggie character but did not like that there were too many names to remember and the confusion that follows because of that. Still a good story, and everything tied up neatly at the end.
October 26, 2019
I have mixed feelings. Overall, I liked the book and was looking forward to the Lizzie and Cosmos tale. I was hoping both would be actively involved in solving an interesting yet controversial case. Instead, the featured characters were in the hospital while their friends were bumbling around trying to figure out who and why Cosmo was shot. I admit, I fell asleep a few times and had to rewind to a section I recalled. There was a redeeming moment when the men put Maggie in her place. She needed to be reminded that they were a team and she was not their boss. Loved it!
August 16, 2021
I could not put this book down. I just had to see what was going to happen next .In these sisterrhood books , everything usually works out and the problem is solved. In this book it was interesting to see what the men did, which was more violent, but still they also work like a well oiled machine, and I really enjoyed reading one wiht ethe men. In this story, "Mr. Hot Shot ends up getting his due, after commiting a whloe lot of unspeakable acts, without most people knowing it is him that is ordering these things.Your really should read this yourself.

I am a fan of the Sisterhood series that represent good over evil. In this book Lizzie's husband Cosmo was shot and in precarious condition. The men of the Sisterhood sprung into action to try and determine what happened. They know it involved Happy Village but had a difficult time trying to piece together what was going on. Unlike the other books, this one seemed to not have the resources that the group normally have. In the end they did piece together the events which involved Cosmo's "partner" in Happy Village and two gangs. Greed, as often happens, was the powerful motivator.

I love this series! It's one of those books you just don't want to end. These guys are the counter part to the Sisterhood Series by Ms. Michaels and I just love them all including Maggie and Lizzie. If you're not new to the characters and series grab some tissues. If you're new please get to know these guys and how they got started. You laugh and cry with the antics of this crew.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Simply a wonderful book
I love both the sisterhood series and the men of the sisterhood series. This book was great. The boys had a bit of a different approach to this case. And I absolutely loved Maggie's punishment of the bad guys. I can't wait for the next adventure. And little Jack is so much bigger on thos story, I loved that he played a small part in the story. Happy reading everyone!

Excellent
I have read every book in this series, Women and Men, this was by far the best of the Men.
It had so many twists and turns. I enjoyed the parts at Happy Village, it showed the soft side of the characters. The story also had the good guys in the gang, it was a heartwarming display of how bad guys can become our friends and protectors.
I am already looking forward to the next chapter in the Men of the Sisterhood

This book is from a series called the Sisterhood. This time it was the men that were called into action. When Cosmo Cricket is shot in Las Vegas where he lives with Lizzie Fox. The men try to find out who tried to kill him. It starts out slow and kind of goes all over the place with the different characters. It was good but the not as good as the ones in the beginning of this series. Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Books for an early copy. This review is mine and honest opinion.

Reading #5 of a series, has it's disadvantages, but will prompt reading earlier ones. Seems a group of husbands (?) of a Sisterhood, do their own thing for justice. No police involved, the bad guys are taken out by the end of the book. Gruesome, injustice, and comeuppance. Don't mess with old guys, (and ladies) they have the means to care for the elderly. And what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

This book is part of the Men of the Sisterhood series. The story is set in Las Vegas where the men find that Cosmo Cricket has been shot multiple times with no leads. The group begins to dig and ask questions and eventually find answers. Harry a member of the group is showing Vegas to a group of friends from China who get on a winning spree at the casinos which causes problems. The book was a quick easy escape read.

3.6 Fern Michael’s always writes such fun stories..maybe fun’s not the word...likable is better suited. The Sisterhood is my favorite..but The Men of the Sisterhood is coming into its own. I enjoy the “got ya” at the end of these books. Maggie was my favorite character in this story..and of course Cyrus. I wish the Sisterhood series was a TV series..guess it would have to be on at 10 pm!
June 23, 2019
I usually like Fern Michaels and this series but I did not care for this one about half way through when it got to the dark web. It was just a bit to much for what is usually a quick page turning read. I usually like the suspense and the twists and the revenge but this one made me almost not finish it.

This was ok. I have this author on my automatically reserved list at the library. I've read a few of her books over the years, but I think I am going to remove her. As I was reading the book, I felt like it
was not going to end... Not something that you should be saying about a book you enjoyed. I thnk
there are too many characters and it gets monotonous after a while.

Hot Shot is a intriguing and intense story that take place in Las Vegas. The characters are an interesting group and the dog steals the show. This is probably where the saying"what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" came from. It starts as helping finding out who and why their friend is shot, to gangs and missing senior citizens and shady money hungry big shot.

Las Vegas has its own rules or so it seems. This was my first experience with this series. Wow! Love the dog. Admire Jack. Afraid of the scary wild Maggie. Some humor, some heartfelt moments, some action, some creepy stuff. An unusual group of do-gooders. Fast read. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley.

Another great book by Fern Michaels! I always love the books about the Sisterhood or the Men of the Sisterhood . This one was about the Men and about Lizzie's husband Cosmo and the guys helping him get to the bottom of his troubles in Las Vegas. My fav parts were Jack's recommendations to Lizzie & Cosmo’s young son with girl problems. I also love the dog, Cyrus. I wish I had one as smart as him!
