Synopsis

Three women form an unbreakable bond in a sexy, suspenseful, and adventurous novel about empowerment and sisterhood through thick and thin.Venus McGee, Draya Carter, and Jackie Benson are coworkers with a lot in common. They’re smart, independent, driven, and deserving of recognition—certainly more than they’ve been handed by a demoralizing boss. He’s the topic of conversation at their impromptu get-together after the company holiday party, where the threesome fantasizes about a life without him. There has to be an alternative to taking a deep breath and sucking it up. There is. It’s just not the one they expected.When morning comes, Venus, Draya, and Jackie are blindsided by murder—a twist of fate that brings a startling new challenge to the table and forces them to navigate a hair-raising detour they never saw coming. For better and (unless they can help it) for worse, it’s going to turn their world upside down. What starts as a necessary bond of mutual trust soon morphs into an empowering and galvanizing friendship that Venus, Draya, and Jackie need now more than ever.

Goodreads review by Stitching on February 21, 2025

Not my usual type of read but I really enjoyed my time with Jackie, Venus and Draya. There's just something about reading a tale of growing friendship between women with a background of a jerk getting his final comeuppance that's good for the soul.......more

This one isn’t so bad but I think it’s a bit dragged on wayyy too much. But I love seeing the girls forming their friendship throughout the story. And I was tearful at the last bit of the book.......more

Goodreads review by johnny on January 26, 2023

it started off fantastic, but turned into a romance book with really gross, weirdly written sex scenes.......more

Goodreads review by Kenia on February 20, 2022

I get what the Author is trying to do with the story line. It eventually all came together at the end of the story. It was just a super slow read. If you stick until the end of the book you will be happy you finished. Just trust you have to stick to it. I did enjoy the laughs I had in the book also.......more
