Soulful Strut

Louisiana Love Series: City Girls #3

by Lynn Emery

When Monette Victor is finally released from jail, 15 years after being framed and wrongfully convicted, she enters a whole new world. Suddenly famous and in demand, Monette finds herself going on book tours and hosting a radio talk show. But she has no intention of making her whole life about this one episode. Monette is determined to make sure other young women have better chances than she did. She throws herself into her volunteer work, standing up to anyone and everyone who tries to tear her down. But it's not as easy to stand up to the doubts in her own mind, and those doubts are putting her budding relationship with good–looking business owner Jayson Odum on the rocks. Will the hard shell Monette has needed to get by blind her to the possibility of finding love with a good man? Only when she believes that she deserves the good things in life will Monette be able to see what she has with Jayson as the blessing it truly is.

A well-written story about a woman with a checkered past trying to walk the straight and narrow toward happiness for once in her life. Staying on that path isn't always easy! "Strut" is by turns emotional, funny and thought provoking. Monette is a wonderfully fleshed out character. I was happy to meet her and sad to say goodbye at the end of the book. Highly recommended

I really enjoyed this book. I became emotionally attached to the main character and felt invested in the choices she made. This led to me being afraid of what might happen next. Definitely worth the read.
