Review: Dark, erotic descriptive wild ride = wild read!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Sex, drugs, sans rock 'n roll, but with plenty of murder, Mexican mobsters and mayhem, 'Gringa, Vol. #1' was a sexy, fast, very visual wild read. The pacing, characters/characterization, especially the heroine, and the dialogue is kick-arse. It would make a good movie (or TV series). I loved the nuances of the main character. She is strong, yet vulnerable. I didn't find the setting or story to be unrealistic as other reader's opined; as a Southern California resident, I've been South of the Border and narrowly escaped some thorny situations with dark, powerful men. I love the pace, the dynamic action, the seamy, often entirely hilarious, and very entertaining dialogue. I didn't mind that the book wasn't longer, it's a serial--meant to be short. I'm sick of overly long Kindle books (that are much ado about nothing) and can really appreciate a fast-paced serial novelette. 'Gringa, Vol. #1' was the perfect length for a great price. I'm really looking forward to the next sexy, spicy, dark racy read and am definitely buyingGringa - In the Clutches of a Ruthless Drug-Lord Book 2 (Gringa Series). Ignore the very minor typos/grammatical errors; the read is worth it. I noticed that, by the end of the Kindle book, I am extremely interested to see if the dark, disturbing yet sexy Diablo and Payton get together. NOTE: As another reviewer wrote, this book is not for the prissy, squeamish, or faint of mind or heart--it's a profanity-laced romp with rape and family issues as well as rampant drug use, violence and brutality.
