Book Description

"Emotionally moving and briskly-paced, The Fortunate Only is a tense, gritty thriller that grabs the reader's attention and refuses to let go. With authentic characters that will permanently live in the minds of readers, this novel is a living, breathing piece of crime fiction." - Lois McGuinty, The Best Books Journal

In modern-day Texas, trafficking cartels poke roots deep into the fertile nooks of a corrupt landscape, where local law enforcers either cower or fall in line. Among them is Tom Moreno, a small-town cop wrestling against a single choice that threatens to destroy everything he loves. Terrorized by three villains, each more sinister than the next, an ordinary man does his best to cope with terrifying challenges requiring actions at the outer levels of his abilities. The reader falls in with each of the novel's characters, as they work to save themselves from a dark fate in this terrifying and moving tale that centers on a deeply felt love story.

Too much violence, written very poorly, and the plot (or lack of it) left me confused. mYum  |  2 reviewers made a similar statement

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommend for sure July 20, 2012
I liked how this book started one way and then pulled the rug out from underneath you. I really got lost in it. Kept looking up and was amazed at how much time had passed without me realizing it. Really strong, realistic, interesting dialogue, and the characters are all very memorable. The plot is also intense, which I need from books. And the ending really had me thinking. The kind of book you lay on your chest for ten minutes after you're done reading. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed the plot but the style and eloquence of his writing is what captured me. A crime story by an intelligent author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasure November 30, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Really good, intense story with some great, scary villains.

The writing is excellent and beautiful, and the plot is really scary, interesting and put together nicely. A couple of the reviews on here seem to miss the point. This isn't a book for people who like simple, seventh-grade level stories. If you want a gripping story that will keep your attention and get your heart pumping, this should be right up your alley.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a pleasure.
