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 #1 - Retaliation Cass won't rest until her brother's murderers are jailed or dead. She goes after them one at a time with no intention of stopping until she has her revenge. Detective McGuire takes a bullet for her. Now the annoying man believes she’s his responsibility and wants to stop her, protect her... control her.

Book #2 - Justice When she continues to dig for information on who killed her brother, Cassi's life becomes fraught with danger. Between bartending in a sleazy joint, getting into fights with hookers, and trying to scare off her stalker, she never seems to get any time to just be a girl in love.

Book #3 - Resolution Since 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 - Endings Cassi’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 - Faith Faith’s always tried to be a good person. From the beginning, everything was against her. A sick mother forced her into a world of drugs and sexual dysfunction that she couldn’t overcome. Until she lost the man she loved and found a baby who filled her heart.

Book #6 - Leni Leni believes her mother didn't come back for her because she'd died. Wrong! Blackmail finally forces the woman out of the shadows. On top of these stresses, Leni learns the name of her cousin's killer. Payback is her only option.

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.

Fast paced and easy to read if kept me literally on the edge of my chair! Could do with less of the sexual encounters but I know it creates interest. Loved the female"s fighting ability and able to take care of herself!

Though I enjoyed 😉 the book it seems as if all bestseller writers and publishers have fo found a way to legally steal from the very people that made them popular and successful by by feeding us just enough of a good story to try and force the reader to buy the rest of the series. As a retiree I am not in a position to afford this scheme an as such will never again support these "legal thieves".

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.

Murder - Revenge - Love

A young woman finds herself seeking revenge for the death of her brother. But she also finds love. I am not into the explicit sexual description, but other than that the story is good.

Not so shy anymore

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

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

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!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 21, 2021

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.
