The Wrong Turn is the second installment in the Hunky Bank Robbers saga and it's just as good as the first. It's fun, sexy and there are some adorable moments of comedic relief from Isis that had me laughing out loud! I think you can read this one as a stand-alone since Isis, the heroine does a good job of quickly recapping the events from the first book. Isis is the heroine's new persona now that she's part of the `god pack', i.e. a group of bank robbers running from some serious bad guys. Quick rundown of what this series is about: Melinda lived/worked on a sheep farm with her sisters but also worked at a bank to make end's meet in the first book. She was taken hostage in The Hostage Bargain (well, she basically volunteered for the job) by three sexy bank robbers wearing masks. She's now part of their pack and they're robbing banks and trying to stay ahead of the men who want them dead. Melinda/Isis has some deep-rooted fears that if she gets captured by the police that she'll be the weak link, but her guys have no such fears.Thor, Zeus, and Odin are the heroes and they are absolutely delicious. I'm normally not a fan of ménage situations, but it totally works in this series. Isis is an adrenaline junkie and even though Zeus and Odin are former assassins and Thor is a former doctor (military), they're truly like lost boys without her (she sometimes thinks of them as her lost boys which is adorable). But they're certainly not lost in the bedroom. The sexual tension and the sex scenes are amazingly hot and one of the many things I loved about this story is that I learned more about each man's history. More of their past is revealed without giving away too much (I still want to know more!) and I could see why she loves them and why they've all bonded together. This installment takes place in LA and more characters of the criminal underworld are revealed, including an all-female gang who wants to recruit Isis. And Thor really had to work through some stuff in this story. Since I don't want to give away spoilers, I'll just say that the stakes were still high and the bond that was formed in the first story is even stronger now. I like that no matter what, the team always has each other's backs. If you're looking for something that's a rollercoaster ride of pure, erotic, romantic entertainment, this is it! I can't wait for the next one.
