Veronica Jinkowsky knows better than to trust her
grandfather, Frank. The sly old goat spends every alert
moment trying to arrange life to suit his way of thinking.
His latest is an attempt to pull her into his treasure
hunting company, Jinx, Inc. In fact, he signed the company
over to her.
So Veronica does what any desperate woman would do -- she
seeks out her fourth ex-husband, Jake Jensen. Well, he's
actually her only ex-husband. They've just been married and
divorced four times. There was the Tequila Marriage, the
Sappy Marriage, the Cowboy Marriage -- well, there were a
lot of the damned marriages and she's damned sure there
won't be another one. But she needs his help, because Frank
listens to Jake. What she isn't expecting is to find Jake
engaged. Much as she'd made up her mind that she wouldn't
have anything to do with him ever again, despite the
dastardly pull of lust that happens whenever they're in the
same building, she's stunned and devastated.
Jake is moving on with his life, determined to marry
someone who isn't Veronica Jinkowsky. But seeing her face,
being near her, sends him into the usual tailspin and no
matter what, he always comes out of that tailspin
determined to have her. Hence the four marriages. Tequila.
Sappy. Cowboy. And oh, yeah, the Insanity Marriage. It
cannot happen again, but on the other hand, there's
something that needs to be played out between them.
I loved this book. It's laugh-out-loud funny and it makes
you yearn for the kind of lust/attraction/true love
feelings that Jake and Ronnie have. And Frank is a terrific
character. Pure fun!
Caught! Straight-laced Boston lawyer Veronica "Ronnie"
Jinkowsky knows something's fishy when her estranged
grandfather lures her to his New Jersey treasure hunting
business with woeful tales of old age and bankruptcy. But
she never expected the salty old dog to shanghai her into
a hunt for pink diamonds with her poker-playing, four-time
ex-husband Jake Jensen in tow.
HOOKED...
Betting her heart on Jake was always a losing proposition;
yet just the sight of his come-hither blue eyes is still
enough to melt her steely resolve. Now she's on a high
seas' adventure that throws together lost gems, lost
ship, and lost love--not to mention a Mafia widow, her two
goons, and an elderly Cajun matchmaker hankering for hanky-
panky--
AND GOING DOWN FOR THE LAST TIME!
Ronnie is trapped with the man she could never learn to
live with--and was never happy without. A jinx of the
best possible kind.
