BLURB:
It’s June 1926 in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Charlotte LeDoux is determined to reinvent herself.
Her late husband, a notorious bootlegger, left her a Summit Avenue mansion, a secret room filled with cash, and a reputation riddled with bullet holes. Char is desperate to rebuild her identity as an honest entrepreneur, but her plans falter when she repeatedly encounters unfair bias. Then she learns that one foolish mistake with her beau has left her in the family way–the final blow to not only her character but her aspirations as well. She realizes it’s time to marry the man she loves and turn her life in a new direction. That is, until she learns he has betrayed her trust. Her belief in Will and in true love is shattered.
Will Van Elsberg is a tough private investigator, but he’s no match for his headstrong gal.
He’s so madly in love with Char, however, that he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe. When he learns she’s pregnant, he’s anxious to tie the knot. Instead, their engagement is doomed after Char discovers he’s withheld crucial information from her. He’s determined to tell her everything to win back her trust but the situation changes when Char suddenly goes missing and he finds a ransom note in her car. Facing an unknown enemy who holds all the cards, Will is thrust into the greatest crisis of his life–to rescue a woman carrying his child who means more to him than life itself.
REVIEW:
Due to time constraints, I’ve been limited in writing reviews. However, after learning that Book 3 in the Moonshine Madness Series was available, I couldn’t wait to find out where life took Charlotte LeDoux. Stepping back into the Roaring Twenties with Charlotte, Will, and a delightful cast of characters was a more than welcome visit to one of my favorite fictional worlds.
This story showcases Charlotte’s entrepreneurial spirit as she manages existing businesses inherited from her late bootlegging husband while launching new ventures of her own. The highs and lows of her relationship with Will, unexpected events, and her kidnapping had me turning the pages long after I’d promised myself “just one more chapter.” My favorite part of the story was a note at the end announcing the next installment with Book 4 in the series.
