Mingo McCloud #1-4
Mingo McCloud: Books 1-4
Mingo McCloud, Honolulu’s hottest—well, only—forensic accountant, has an amazing career working on the Hawaiian Islands’ high-profile criminal cases. Too bad he can’t finesse his private life with the same panache. His chronic attraction to bad guys comes skidding to a halt when he meets Francois Aumary, a former green beret and man of many secrets. Currently working for the governor’s office, Francois’s past life includes a pre-teen son, Ferric, who, like his father, becomes a major part of Mingo’s life.
Meanwhile, as Mingo handles missing and murdered people’s cases, his life takes bizarre turns. From a woman from his past claiming they were once married, there’s his mother, whose taste in men is worse than Mingo’s. Her new beau thinks he’s the lost king of Hawaii and will stop at nothing to reclaim his throne.
There’s also her mania for avocado green kitchen gadgets and her garish, animal-print outfits.
Then there’s the attorney Mingo works for, Benny Leonard, Korean by birth and now a devout Orthodox Jew thanks to his adoptive parents, Benny is plain nuts.
Weaving in and out of his and Mingo’s lives is a man who may just be the worst thing on two legs. Kaolin Grace does terrible things to both of them, even giving Mingo and Francois a felonious gift on their wedding day.
But that’s not all. Ferric is anxious for his two dads to get hitched and worried that things like a haunted bridge, crazy criminal cases, and his mom wanting custody of him again might put a damper on things. As for Mingo, he’ll do whatever it takes to have a happy life and a future without yucky green accessories.
Author's Note: This bundle contains the first 4 Mingo books, Wanted, Needed, Bonded, and Mated.

A bit disappointed.
The characters are good and so are the crazy plots,but there is just too much sex. It interferes with the flow of the story.
Some of the scenes are important to the plot but a lot aren't. I found myself frustrated more often than not
If you like a lot of sex with your story you would probably enjoy this more then I did

4 crazy short stories with lots of $ex
Lots and lots of $ex with part of a suspense plot thrown in.
Audio version - The narration was great.
