I think 3 stars is a good rating for a book of this genre. Dont expect nobel prize writing. My book clearly says on the front cover a sexy mystery. And it delivered.

I read book one, and really enjoyed this one also. Our main character has 3 men who want her, the police detective of course, Peter her old highschool boyfriend and, the Body mover. Now we have a dead woman who was stolen our heroines identity. and the story takes you on a wild ride from there. The murderer was a surprise. I loved it.

This book starts exactly at the moment the first, Body Movers, leaves off with a phone call from her errant, bail-jumping father. Carlotta drops the phone and through a series of unfortunate incidents is unable to take the call. Her life becomes more complicated as her identity is stolen and her double winds up dead.

Her brother is still in a lot of trouble with loan sharks and his probation. Three men are pursuing Carlotta for romance but with her identity stolen, her parents on the lam, her disingenuous brother constantly making mistakes, she barely has time to think let alone fall in love.

This series is light, clever, witty, and engaging with likeable fun and funny characters and interesting story lines. The endings are not predictable. I look forward to reading the others in the series. I like Carlotta and her brother and no wonder she has trouble choosing among the men, though I do have my favorite.

Wise cracking chick lit meets light hearted mystery!

Such a mix of mystery, dead bodies, 3 different men to choose from. A gambling brother that knows better. Carlotta gets into so many scrapes but comes out of them hilariously. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series

I enjoyed the series very much. Read the novels that pre-date the series first for a bit of background information (not required). Fun, quick read. Hooked me and couldn't stop reading the series! Just had to know what happened next. Waiting for book 7, due out in 2012 - but when??

I do not like all the sex details in the books, however it is easy to skip past and you miss nothing by skipping it. So each to their own! Some rather vulgar language as well, not able to skip it all, so if this type of thing offends you, I would not recommend this series.

I recommend this series with reserve because of the sex content & vulgar language. The sex details are not as bad as some, but worse than others. I do not think it would keep me from reading the stories, but it might some. So now you know - use your own judgement!

Carlotta Wren's life is complicated. Her brother, who owes money to two loan sharks, is gambling again. She's in debt up to her eyeballs. And her parents are fugitives from the law who left without a word. Suddenly she gets a call from her father who she hasn't heard from in ten years, but it cut off when she drops her phone. The cops want to know where her father is and so does she. On top of that, her identity has been stolen.

After a bad day at work and being told to take the week off (unpaid, of course), Carlotta returns home to find that her brother and her friends believe she is dead. It seems the look-alike who stole her identity has died. The police see the report of her death as a way to smoke out her fugitive parents. Carlotta believes it's a waste of time and her parents won't show up.

This book begins right where the first book ends. The author does a nice recap of the last book which is great for people like me who forget what they read after a few short weeks. I thought the pacing of the beginning was a little slow, but once the identity theft was discovered, the story got interesting. The identity of the person who murdered the look-alike was a shock to me. I didn't see that coming at all. My rating: 4 Stars.
