Description from the publisher:
The Redhead with the Gun Won’t be Denied
Jennifer McKenzie Delgado and her cousins own the fourth generation of Lipstick and Lead. Together, they are determined their business of bounty hunting will continue. The problem is they hold a million-dollar bond on a bail jumper who is nowhere to be found. With the bond in default, they have ten days before the money is due and they lose the company.
Once again, Carson Lopez is mistaken for his criminal twin, Christopher, but this time by a beautiful, sexy, bounty hunter. Also searching for his sibling, he wants answers why his brother is killing off Family members. With Jennifer posing as his girlfriend, Carson flies to Vegas to confront his brother.
When she becomes the target of the hit man, it’s all Carson can do to keep the redhead from being the bull’s eye. But with her company on the line, Jennifer will take any risk to get her man. Including losing the one she’s come to love to organized crime.
If you enjoy Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, the wacky women who work in the Lipstick and Lead Bounty Hunting Agency will entertain you. Quirky characters, strong women with a penchant for danger will keep you flipping the pages and laughing out loud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NAILING THE HIT MAN is the first book in the Lipstick and Lead 2.0 series. Each one will stand on its own, but this one started out feeling like I was already missing something, and it was the first book in the series. Maybe that’s because it was a spinoff off of a series that I had only ever read the first book?
Though the new generation has nothing to do with the ladies of the old west except for the same dogged determination, attitude in abundance, and beauty. The continuation of the business begun by Meg, Annabelle, and Ruby, Jennifer, is paramount to Jennifer and her cousins, Brittany and Katherine.
Maybe it was that “missing something from the start,” but Carson and Jennifer’s attraction just felt like words on paper and not like chemistry for most of the story. On the other hand, the suspense and bullets were fun and well thought out.
The office “circus” of characters has a lot of potential for providing humorous scenes in future stories, as they did in this one, while also helping to move the story forward with information and clues when needed.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
