A virgin librarian with hot-chick potential, the conflicts in her story won’t let you put the book down. Be prepared for an all-nighter…She watches the mob kill her twin and is too frozen with fear to stop them. How can she live with that cowardice eating away at her self-respect? Revenge claws at her sheltered existence until she can’t breathe. Though she’s naïve, she isn’t stupid. When she finds a stash of loot in her brother’s gym locker, she has the means. Now all she needs is the guts to make every one of those low-life gang members pay. People might think detectives are hard-assed cops with no home life, but Trace McGuire has a dying mom he loves fiercely. Already stressed over his personal problems, he takes a bullet for a virgin beauty hiding while mobsters shoot her brother. This chick draws out every protective instinct he thought had disintegrated over years on the job, and he becomes invested – in her hot body, her plans for retaliation, and her fighting spirit. Helpless, he watches her enter the seedy underworld that’ll eat her alive.Then he sees her fight.And wonders if they’ll survive her.

Book #3 - ResolutionSince her brother Raoul’s murder at the hands of his own gang members, revenge has driven Cass to find answers. Money, hidden by Raoul, is funding her quest. And tenacity born of hate fuels the relentless need to make those killers pay. Book #4 - EndingsCassi’s a fighter who won’t stop until she gets justice for her murdered brother. Once she’s faced with the ultimate cost, will she be able to see it through? And can she live with herself if she doesn't? Book #5 - FaithFaith’s always tried to be a good person.

From the Author

Cassi is my facorite heroine. She never stops trying, fighting against overwhelming odds. Her humor kept me involved, and her sassy attitude gave me satisfaction as I created the woman I wish I could emulate.

I'd love to know if the rewaders feel the same.

Not so shy anymore

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019

With the length of this book you would think it would have a conclusion it does not it leaves you with questions and a big cliffhanger. Cassidy stood by shocked, helpless and full of fear as she witnessed her twin brother being murdered. Her brother was involved with the wrong crowd. Cassidy was a librarian shy an innocent. The day her brother was murdered all that shattered. Trace is a hardcore protective person of those he cares for and the one person he cares for most is his dying mother. But when he meets Cassidy it's a strange feeling for him to feel protective of her. He watches Cassidy transform herself from the shy innocent librarian to a hardcore fighting machine. She transforms her look, her attitude her life goals and profession. While she builds her life around revenge she also builds a relationship with Trace he even though he is a detective assigned to her brothers case and is a professional he finds himself bending the rules for Cassidy he even takes a bullet for her. They form a bond and a love blooms. But he does not like watching her fight although he is amazed at her for her abilities. The book does have a conclusion but it is not a final one I believe this is the first book in this series. We are left with a cliffhanger

Sweet Retaliation (Mob Tracker Series Book 1)
By: Mimi Barbour
5 out of 5 stars

The story Sweet Retaliation (Mob Tracker Series Book 1) by Mimi Barbour is a book that has plenty of thrills and mystery. It also has romance. I loved reading this story. It had me hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished. Just how far would you go to avenge the death of someone that you love? That is the question that the main character in this story faces after her brother is killed in front of her. She finds her strength and begins a plan. What she didn’t expect is to fall for Trace McGuire. This character shows herself to be a fighter and when others run from a situation she stays to assist those that need her help. She is in constant danger in her search for the truth. Trace is a detective that when he starts a case he obsesses over it until it is solved. While working to solve his current case he finds himself wanting to protect and falling for the sister of the murder victim. He doesn’t need any other complications in his life. How does he tell that to his heart? While these two agree to work together to solve the murder of her brother there are times when they withhold information from each other or take actions that have them in danger. This story had me on the edge of my seat and always rooting for the bad guys to be caught and punished. I also loved reading about the romance that builds between the two main characters. There are quite a few other characters that are introduced in this book and a lot of them are there to help either with the investigation or are friends and family of the main characters. There are others that I could classify as the “bad guys” who are motivated by greed and how things will benefit them. This is the second book I have read by the author and have found her to be a wonderful storyteller who creates amazing characters. This is the first book in a series and the ending does leave me with questions. I look forward to reading the next book to see if these questions are answered. This story does have scenes of violence and adult situations. It would be recommended for mature readers.

Watching Cassi become a woman on a mission and falling love is a compelling story

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is a terrific beginning to the story of Cassi out to revenge the killing of her twin brother. Her involvement with Trace is fraught with tension as he wants to protect her, but she is determined to track down the killer. They spend a lot of time together and have both difficult and tender moments. Cassi finds out she has more strength than she thought, both inner fortitude and physical strength as a boxer. It's great when she kicks ass! It is also especially tender when Cassi and Trace begin to fall in love. He's conflicted because he's investigating the murder of her brother and can't be involved with her while the case is open. But their love is too strong for that to stop them from giving in to their desire to have beautiful sex. The book ends with some of the story still remaining to be told, but is very satisfying as a stand alone part of a bigger story.

Hidden talents, suspense and romance

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

Suspenseful, fast-paced, a feisty heroine and a hero that unwittingly finds himself smitten by a murdered gangster's sister. Trace's protective instincts are aroused when Cassidy puts herself in the line of fire and he takes a bullet for her. However, the clinging beauty that refuses let go of him at the crime scene, soon shows that she is not a frightened little girl, but rather a fighter in her own right. The story is well written with an intricate plot that keeps the reader's interest through to the closing pages. The book is part of series and ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, however, for this episode of the series, it does come to a good conclusion. I loved Trace's protective stance towards Cassidy, without smothering her or discounting her intelligence. Cassidy took more chances than any person, male or female, should take, but her courage at the close of the book did pull on my heartstrings. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

Don't like cliffhangers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

Great characters, love Trace and Cass, she is a little spitfire. I didn't realise that this was part one of a series, There is a cliffhanger which spoils it for me, I don't like cliffhangers. I don't mind a series with a theme running through out, but prefer the rest of the story to have an ending in each book. But that's just me, I read so much that by the time I get to books three and four etc in a series, I can't remember what happened in the beginning. I am interested in reading the next book though.

Good read!

Cassidy is a naive, gullible, protected, (from her late father and brother,) librarian, at 27 she's pure innocence, until she witnesses her twin get murdered. In the same night she meets Trace, a detective, sparks fly between them but she has retaliation on her mind!
A good read, good characters and the storyline is also good albeit a little unbelievable in places. The story continues in the next books.
Found it free.

How has Mimi Barbour got past my genre addiction for fast pace, action, thrills and spills type reads? I don't know, but now that I have found her, I am never letting go. Alpha males and kick ass girls in a well written novel that I couldn't put down. Thank you Mimi, next in series already downloaded.
