When it becomes clear that the car thieves didn’t get what they were looking for the first time around and Ida Belle’s vehicle becomes their next target, Fortune and Gertie are determined to protect their friend. Ida Belle is determined to protect the Blazer.

Jana DeLeon

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jana DeLeon was raised in southwest Louisiana among the bayous and gators. Her hometown is Carlyss, but you probably won't find it on a map. Her family owned a camp located on a bayou just off the Gulf of Mexico that you could only get there by boat. The most important feature was the rope hammock hanging in the shade on a huge deck that stretched out over the water where Jana spent many hours reading books.

Jana and her brother spent thousands of hours combing the bayous in a flat-bottom aluminum boat, studying the natural habitat of many birds, nutria and alligators. She would like you to know that no animals were injured during these "studies," but they kept makers of peroxide in business.

Jana has never stumbled across a mystery or a ghost like her heroines, but she's still hopeful.

She now resides in Dallas, Texas, with her husband and the most spoiled Sheltie in the world.

Love the Miss Fortune series. Getting ready to start the next book. The narrator is awesome, although there was a bit of mix up a few times in the voices. Overall, love Jana De Leon’s style of storytelling!

I really don't like Fortune anymore.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

I would recommend this series to book 8, but I don't recommend reading them all in a row, one right after another and I can't recommend them after book 9. They really begin to become repetitive, the stories all begin to run together and the laughs just become eye rolls. I mean by this book Gertie is pretty must a complete idiot, dynamite in your purse for fishing? Break dancing, really? Come on. But the worst really is Fortune. In the beginning she lied about her history and her CIA status because she had to, but now that Carter knows her secret she just lies to cover up her other lies. I see clearly now, she's really just a liar, and she doesn't feel bad about it at all. But worse in this book she gaslights Carter so badly I had to take a step back and remind myself why I was reading this series in the first place. I have been working on this book for 5 days and I am still only half way through, the others I read straight through in a few hours each. This is a little bit of a spoiler so read at your own risk.

At one point after Hot Rod is in the hospital and after the girls know that he blurted out a warning for Ida Belle, which Carter hears, but did not relay, the girls then enlist the Herbert's, who are criminals by the way, to hide Ida Belles car so they can dismantle it to find what the attackers were looking for, which they do. The Herbert's make Fortune promise not to involve Carter, they know full well she is in a relationship with him. The girls come home from hiding the car to find Carter in Fortune's house, waiting. Of course they get caught, Carter rightfully gets mad because he knows Fortune lied to him, again. Now that he knows her secret I am pretty sure he hoped she'd stop lying to him all the time. But not only does she lie, she turns it around on him and blames him for not relaying the warning from Hot Rod to deflect the fact she not only lied about where she would be to get out of a date with him, but also what she was doing after she got caught lying, again. While it might seem that she does so unwillingly, due to the promise she made the Herbert's, she works up the lie to such a lather she actually gets mad, as does Ida Belle, both blaming Carter as deflection of their own bad deeds, both guilting him into submission. That's a pretty crappy thing to do to someone. You know who does this? Narcissists and abusive people. Both women carry the anger forward too, it's not to just cover up the lies they told Carter about the Herbert's, or the fact they are hindering the investigation by not turning over the evidence they uncovered in Ida Belles Car, or that they are consorting with known criminals to withhold evidence in a police investigation, they are genuinely mad at Carter. I have not yet read forward much more because I am so put off by this behavior, but it appears as thought Ida Belle is going to give him yet another "talking to" about his treatment of Fortune, and now her. She's a rabid old biddy. Oh, and a liar. Oh, and a thief. Oh and a criminal.

But this is the same story from every single book. Carter asks them to not get in the way of his investigation. They get in the way of the investigation. They lie to Carter. They withhold evidence and then they corner the possible killer who always seems to get the jump on Fortune and Carter saves the day. OH. MY.GOD irritated just typing that out.

If I were Carter I'd dump Fortune and never look back. She's really immature. She lies like a rug and seemingly has no conscience about it. She can't abide by simple requests to stay out of police investigations, or even the law really. She's ridiculously unworthy of her CIA assassin, bad mojo status, they never really catch the criminal, they merely stumble into the group of possible suspects and blunder until the real criminal tries to kill one of them, usually Fortune. This whole series requires you to suspend reality in order to enjoy it. And I can usually do that. Gertie carries dynamite in her purse, plus hand guns and assault rifles and wears camo underwear, sure, why not? Fortune has inch long hair but has hair extensions that no one seems to notice, OK, maybe. But I can't really believe Carter has been picky about the women in Sinful his whole life, only to fall for this piece of work that is Fortune. I feel bad for him, really bad. Oh and these are actually novella length books that you pay $5.99 for on the kindle. Yeah, I'm out.

Ida Belle, Gertie and Fortune need to protect themselves when someone is trying to steal Ida Belle's new SUV. They find out something is hidden in the vehicle that crooks want to get their hands on. The ladies get the Heberts to help them and the action takes lots of twists and turns. Another great read with laughs and stories to cover their antics.

Fun - Clean - Happy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2017

What can I say about this series. "Miss Congenialty meets Stephanie Plum". This series was introduced to me by a librarian friend. I had read the Mudbug (mother-in-law ghost) books. Fell in love with this author's work. It would be hard to find much faught with this book as well as the whole series.You will want to read them in book order, but if you choose not too I think you will want to go back and read them in order or at least read the first book, it will help to establish an understanding of who the characters are and bases of the storyline. I will say that they just keep getting better. I hope that Fortune and Carter continue their relationship, and i hope Fortune will finally be able to start a new life and maybe still have some of her old enemies show up from time to time and maybe have another interaction between Fortune and Carter's dog "tiny". I love it when Big and Little, as well as Celia show up in the books. I guess if I had to find one thing that disappointed me about this one it was that Walter was not brought into the storyline. Walter is the really lovable uncle that everyone wishes they had, (of course Carter has that wish granted already) and Ida Belle and Gertie are the grandmother and nutty aunt. If I had another life and was young again, "I would want to live in Sinful, La., have Carter as my love interest, Ida Belle and Gertie as my grandmother and nutty aunt, Walter as my bestie uncle and grow up to be "Fortune Redding"." All things said, unless you don't like stories that continue and consist of the same characters (which should be a hint of what "series" means), you want go wrong reading this Series and if you are one of those people you may just be surprised. These are laugh out loud, fun, clean, nutty, heartfelt for Fortune' s life growing up and before she came to Sinful and one book will break your heart at the end, but the happy will be back in the next one. You'll have to read them to find out which ones. A great read, well written and fun. Books should be "Fun" and always leave us looking forward to the next one. These are the kind that will do just that. ENJOY.

Sinful, a hotbed of corruption

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

Who knew one little town in Louisiana could hold so many corrupt people all getting up to no good. This episode sees Ida Belle in danger the new car she bought turns out to be hot. Somebody is willing to risk murder to get their hands on it Ida Belle, Fortune and Gertie have no idea why all they know is they can't leave it to Carter to investigate when one of their own is in danger. This leads to some tension between Carter and Fortune but neither is willing to compromise their position so this may be the end of their romance. This is one of the most complicated plots so far and the Sinful Ladies will need every ounce of skill and help girlfriends to get the answers they need to make sure Ida Belle is safe.

I love Fortune Redding. I hope her stay in Sinful extends beyond one summer - Christmas with Gertie and Ida must be a hoot. This story was as good as all the previous ones - funny, warm and a good mystery thrown in. Can't wait for the next one - I finished this and started reading Louisiana Longshot again, which I've read more than once already. That's how much I enjoy these books.
