Pawn

I have no idea what to believe after reading Pawn. This book was like on big Nancy Drew episode up until the end when that bomb was dropped. But was it a truth bomb or a false one? I need to know! And how in the world are they going to fix that very big problem we were left with? This series is crazy and highly enjoyable. You must start at book one or you are going to be mightily confused. Well, at least less confused. I'd like to predict what's going to happen, but I don't think that I can. Rook's got some explaining to do...

Pawn is the second book in The Mr Rooks Island Series Stephanie Fitzgerald is in a whole heap of trouble. There are no brochures, no advertising, no website and no government acknowledges its existence. But somewhere West of the Bermuda Triangle in Bahamian waters is an island, spoken about only in whispers where women go to have their wildest romantic fantasies fulfilled for the bargain price of $50k. The island is rife with secrets and not all is what it appears to be. But what happens when guests don’t return home after their week of bliss? What started as a quest for answers about her sister Cici’s death and to have those responsible held accountable isn’t so cut and dry anymore. She wasn’t supposed to stay past her 7 days. And she definitely wasn’t supposed to be so drawn to Rook, the enigmatic owner/ proprietor of the lush nameless island. But what happens when she starts to question her feelings, and convictions? Now the newest employee of the naughty adult version of Disneyland, Stephanie has to find her answers quickly, her benefactor wants information and he is not a patient or forgiving man. Choices need to be made, consequences to be suffered and there is no going back. As Stephanie and James navigate the secrets, lies, questions and truths between them you find yourself laughing and screaming at them. With every question that is answered ten more arise and you can take nothing at face value. Pawn is full of the foibles and the pitfalls of the human condition. There is something inherently honest about Mimi’s characters. They are so relatable as you observe them just trying to move through their lives. There is so much I want to say about this book and the series but that would mean a whole lot of spoilers. I like books that can keep me guessing and this one does that very successfully. I can’t wait for book three “Check” to come out.

Excellent book 2! Cant wait for Check!

Nail biting, heart pounding, action packed, emotionally thrilling mystery filled with danger and unimaginable twists and turns you never see coming. By the way, watch out for that cliff (gotta love the anticipation of it). This story picks up where Rook left us and it is just as entertaining as the first. Stephanie Fitzgerald is looking for the truth on an island full of danger and secrets belonging to Mr. Rook (who is full of secrets). James Rook is sexy beyond measure and has built his resort to cater to every woman lust filled fantasy (gotta love an over achiever) The action and plot are so thrilling I could not put it down. Looking forward to Check.

In this second book in this series, we find ourselves still on the fabulous island where wealthy women go to satisfy all of their sexual fantasies. Our heroine, Stephanie, has agreed to be the new manager in order to try to find out the truth about her sister’s death by spying on Mr. Rook. Mr. Rook owns the island and has plenty of secrets, one of which he has already explained to Stephanie. He tells her that he cannot become involved with her because he is a monk. Stephanie is torn because Rook is obviously attracted to her. Through many twists and turns, Stephanie finally learns the secret behind the island but does she really want to know? Once again, Mimi Jean takes us in a red hot roller coaster ride and, in the end, throws the reader over the cliff! While the author gives us some very satisfying story line, we are left to hang by our fingernails for the third and final book. This was a fast read but well worth the loss of sleep!
