Publisher Description
She’s serving up mayhem in the Magic City….
FINAL STRAW
Dishing out bad news is Jackie Parker’s job. So when her boss grabs her assets one time too many, she serves him her notice and hopes he chokes on it. There must be a better way for a certified process server to make a living in Miami than working for a lousy lecherous lawyer. Whatever Jackie decides, her number one priority is to spend time with her husband, Luke, preferably without his brother Logan—AKA the Dark Prince.
FINAL WARNING
Despite Logan’s objections, Luke asks her to join forces in their own property management team, Damaged Goods. Drawing the line between professional and personal lives proves challenging, especially when Logan serves her an ultimatum—tell Luke the truth about what really happened the night they first met, or he will. Sexual harassment is looking better and better.
FINAL NOTICE
Fester Gomez is three months behind on the rent for his pricey South Beach condo and Damaged Goods is on the job. Either they convince the tenant to pay up or he’ll face eviction. The simple task turns deadly when the team discovers Gomez missing and a Jane Doe slowly decomposing in his bathtub. Serving a killer up to justice, wrestling family secrets—it’s just another day on the job for Damaged Goods.
Customer Reviews
Highly recommended!
An addictive mystery that will have you laughing out loud. Those that love women sleuths and cozy mystery, are going to love this new series from Jennifer L. Hart. Like many other readers, I found it impossible to put down.
Final Notice
Jackie Parker leaps at the chance to work with her husband Luke. The only drawback is their third partner—her brother-in-law Logan. She decides to make the most of it and bring her unique skills and knowledge to the new venture anyway. Their first eviction turns up a dead body and no tenant. Despite that foreboding opening, they continue accepting jobs that seem designed to convince them not to pursue this line of work. And through it all, Jackie still wants to find justice for the victim at that first rental property. Will that prove more dangerous than the lease-breaking tenants?
If Jackie’s ongoing misfortunes weren’t mildly amusing, I would have given up on this book. It needed serious help from a qualified editor. Not only did incomplete thoughts and poor word choice abound, but neither Jackie nor the writer could tell the difference between Logan and Luke half the time.
Thin plot, lots of filler
The plot is weak, a young woman found dead in an apartment that’s connected to videoporn. Ninety percent of the book was filled with the main character’s angst about telling her husband that she’d slept with his brother before she met him. Endlessly she mulled this over, in nauseating stupid detail. I felt my brain cells dying in the over-exposure to this non-problem. To be honest, not to be honest? All this, while the true plot goes undeveloped and gets diluted with funny escapades that just try too hard to be funny. I just wish it had been better, but have to say I don’t recommend it.
