Reno's stories has become stale. I was hoping that Jimmie Mack would be the start of another series minus the thuggery. All rich families can trace their beginnings to a person on the wrong side of the law. Reno was trying to be legit but his father's connections put in in situations that boxed him in. His son, a product of a privileged life could have been the turning point. Killing people does not make him a man. He should be getting that MBA to propel his family's business to the next level. Instead he wants his dad to "give" him a business to run.  My reaction was like Reno's on that topic.The women in these stories are driven by their own demons. Tree started out in love & wanting to get away from small time life. When that did not work out she did not crawl home with her tail between her legs. She supported herself in and met her knight in shinning armour, Reno. More money more drama. His sister who has no sense at all is still around. Fran like her brother is a sex addict. She makes such poor choices she needs to be put down for her own safety. Val is just getting a taste of the Renoverse we will see if she has Tree's ride or die sensibilities.  Seems she is stuck with Jimmie just because she did not back away and is now "tainted" and a "target".Right now the author has written herself into a corner. Her writings style is good but she needs to expand her own experiences to add more substance to her work.
