Who acts like it's the norm to walk around with a feminine napkin stuck to the top of her head, or calls Hello Kitty bandaids over the bullet holes in her sofa 'art'?  Brandy Alexander....that's who.  Brandy's heart is bigger than her brain and in NO SUCH THING AS A LOST CAUSE, while doing a ride-along with a local cop so she can do a piece for the local news station she works for in Philly, Brandy finds herself in a situation where she has to shoot someone to protect herself and the cop she's riding with.  This also throws Brandy right into the middle of an illegal dogfighting ring when two dogs are discovered in the trunk of the guy's car that Brandy had to shoot.  One dog is dead and one barely alive.  Soft-hearted Brandy can not and will not let it go, even when sexy cop and ex-boyfriend Bobby DiCarlo tells her to.  Even when she loses her crappy job.  And not even when she comes home to find her house has been used for target practice.  Hotter than hot new boyfriend, Nick Santiago (whose job involves, guns, midnight trips and lots of secrets), worries about Brandy, but knows better than to tell her what to do.  He just does what he can to try to protect her.  Brandy's heart overrides her common sense and she's determined to put a stop to the cruel dogfighting business, no matter what the cost to her personally.  All we can do is jump in and go along for the ride....I want to say NO SUCH THING AS A LOST CAUSE is the best book yet of the five in the series, but it's too hard to pick just one.  All of the books are terrific!!!  The author has a way of taking a serious problem in this country and combining it with laugh-out-loud humor, loving friendships and sexy-hot romance to create stories that hook you from the first page, but leave you wanting more at the end.  I can honestly say that this series (starting with NO SUCH THING AS A SECRET) is one of my MOST favorites ever and one I read over and over again.  They are my 'comfort' books, when I don't want to start something new, but just want to visit with old friends....
