This book is from a unique time period (unique to me at least - I've never read a romance from this time period).  A time where prohibition is in effect and speakeasies are underground. Jessie (Red Phoenix) is a butcher trying to save her butcher shop (and pay debts) she inherited from her dad by day and is the Red Phoenix, speakeasy owner by night.  But it's not easy burning the candle at both ends.  She has to stay 2 steps ahead of the feds who are trying to catch the speakeasy in the act.In walks Tony, a has been cop turned private eye.  Tony is given an opportunity he can not refuse.  He wants to get back to police work that he was unjustly released from and thanks to Jamerson, he has another chance.  What he doesn't bank on is falling for the beautiful and talented Jessie.It's a game of cat and mouse.  Jessie suspects Tony is not on the up and up and Tony is fighting his attraction to who he assumes is The Phoenix's Girl.  Who will win the game???  I recommend you buy the book and find out.This is a great read that I really enjoyed.  The story line was great and the dialogue was believable.  The descriptions to details were spot on and easy to visualize.  I loved how this book was a mutli pov (my favorite kind). There was so much depth to the characters, even the side characters, that makes you become invested into the story.  I couldn't get enough and had a hard time putting it down.  About half way through it put me on an emotional roller coaster ride.  It hard heartache, triumph, sadness, joy, anguish and most of all love.Would I recommend this book:  Most Definitely!Would I read more from this author:  Absolutely!
