Queen Pin

by Jacquelyn Marker

Charlotte

I’m the sheltered princess of the infamous Scalise crime family. My life was comfortable while my twin brother ran the business. I never imagined him going missing, that I’d have to take over an entire mafia, or that I couldn't trust those closest to me to find him. My options are slim, I'm a klutz, and blackmailing the way-too-sexy Henry, a cop of all things, to find my brother might not be my brightest idea.

Henry

I’m a Miami cop with a screw-up for a brother, and I’m always cleaning up his messes. His latest stunt has landed an adorably feisty redhead in my living room, making me an offer I can’t refuse. This woman who has no clue what "spank bank" means should not be in charge of a criminal organization, let alone blackmailing me. And succeeding.

The unlikely pair battles crime lords as well as their undeniable chemistry. Why not throw in a gator farm, a masquerade ball, and a mafia war? Charlotte and Henry need to find her brother, and navigate their red-hot attraction, before the secrets of the Scalise family catch up to them.

This story is brilliantly written following the sweet “innocent” life of Charlotte who isn’t so innocent. It’s a hilarious page turner with a touch of romance and don’t mess with me attitude!!

Jacquelyn manages to suck you in from page 1 and it just keeps going! Once I sat down, I wasn’t able to put it down and then before I knew it…it was over! A great read and one I will remember for sure!

This book is even better than her first book! I was easily able to put myself in the characters' shoes and laughed out loud an embarrassing amount of times at the ridiculous situations they ended up in. This was a great vacation read!

The plot was great, but the execution was unfortunately lacking. Toward the end, it fell apart to the point that I wondered if I was somehow missing pages from the book that would explain how we got where we did. The dialogue also was sort of cheesy at times.

A really summer beach fun read. Creative characters and story line. A little too much sex but ingenious story line.
