Things are starting to look up for Fortune Redding. Even though her life was at stake, the CIA assassin had balked at taking on a new identity in Sinful, Louisiana. But instead of hating it like she'd thought she would, Fortune now has friends she cares about and just finished up an incredible first date with the sexiest deputy in the state. Sure, there's been a murder or two that she's gotten mixed up in since she arrived in town, but she's hoping all of that is behind her.

But when someone almost kills Deputy Carter LeBlanc, Fortune tosses her dreams of peace and quiet into the muddy bayou and shifts back into being the deadly trained professional that she is. With the help of Ida Belle and Gertie, Fortune launches a manhunt, intending to find a killer before he tries again.

Ida Belle, Gertie and Fortune set their sites on solving another mystery when ATF shows up in Sinful and someone is trying to kill Deputy Carter. Obviously all kinds of disasters follow. This series gets better and better.

5 STARS

I should rate it 5 Depends. I laughed so hard reading this story many times. Just on the silly, trouble that Gertie gets into makes this book. The book is full of laughter, action, and drama.
One of the scenes I laughed the hardest was when Fortune is breaking into the deputy's house with his pit bull in the backyard named Tiny. Feds were in a car waiting for Sheriff with warrant. When Fortune is trying to sneak out. Tiny gets loose and chases her than chases Gertie, Sheriff, mule collides. Mule with Sheriff ends up on top of Feds. car and Tiny trapping them all. Gertie lost part of homecoming dress from decades ago and she is showing her camo underwear. Just picturing scene makes me laugh again.

Fortune is a CIA Assassin hiding out in small town of Sinful, Louisiana. She is pretending to be a beauty queen librarian. Which is her opposite. I really like Fortune

There are a lot of characters in this book that you don't expect to run into. Like Gertie and Ida Two seniors who have mad skills they hide. Fortune is making friends and enemies in this town.

I really want to read more Miss Fortune stories. I also want to see her tell Deputy Carter the truth about her.

I will read more from Jana Deleon in the future. I hope she writes faster. I don't want to wait till next spring for next adventure.

Someone's after Carter.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 29, 2017

Fortune, Ida Belle and Gertie are having a very difficult summer in Sinful. Since Fortune was sent there to hide out (from a drug runner who wants her dead) crime has run rampant in Sinful, there have been murders, conspiracies and pudding wars. So far with the help of Ida Belle and Gertie Fortune has managed to keep her identity a secret but it's getting harder and harder with everything that's going on around her, added to which there is her budding relationship with the sheriffs deputy Carter, Fortune hates having to lie to him but the alternative is leaving Sinful which she is not prepared to do. For the first time in a long time she has people she cares about so with the aid of Swamp Team 3 she will do everything she can to protect Carter and find whoever it is who's trying to kill him. As ever this book is full of humour, I find myself laughing out loud, Jana DeLeon has got the most impressive comic timing, I would love to see a TV series made of this series it would be amazing.

Another hit in the miss fortune series !! I loved this so much. So many twists and turns and plenty of hilarious antics, everyone needs a Gertie in their lives !! Fortune and the gang take no prisoners while investigating and have no issues committing a few criminal activities themselves to catch the bad guys !! This book will have you laughing out loud and sitting on the edge of your seat with every page, I can’t wait to find out what happens next !!

Absolutely loved this book and the characters. Another good mystery with plenty of laughter. Definitely hoping that Fortune will at least tell Carter who she really is soon. As it seems a little mean to have a relationship otherwise.

This series just keeps getting better per book! The basic background is a CIA Assasin Agent hiding out in a southern state from ruthless bad guy! Throw in some great characters, murders and shady sticky situations and at times downright funny situations while being help by two elderly women called Ida Belle and Gertie who have their own secrets from their early years and let's not forget to add a gorgeous law enforcement agent called Carter who the leading lady has to keep her real identity secret from him even though their relationship in turning out to be more than what is safe for her in more ways than one. Great stories in this series and really must be read to appreciate the humour and characters in this brilliant series and let's hope for much much more.
