Mr. Fields has kept us in stiches and suspense with his ongoing series about head butler of the Native Sun Casino, Antonio Cruz, and his sometime sidekick, head of security Mark Ford. He continues the series with his current offering Divas In Heat, a rollicking adventure that introduces us to new characters and puts Antonio and Mark in the middle of all the fun.Cyra Marti is the owner of Skimmer, Inc. a concierge company that specializes in fixing whatever problem a business may have. The Native Sun Casino has called her in to rebrand their pool parties and Cyra, along with her ever diligent side kick Preston are up to the task. It doesn't take long for Cyra and Preston to figure out that pool parties may not be the only thing that the Native Sun needs help with. Cyra and Preston are going to learn the ins and outs of Native American politics the hard way, and along with the help of Antonio and company will have to navigate their way through more trouble than you can shake a mini-poodle at.When Mr. Fields introduced us to inner workings of a casino, via Antonio, we were tickled to death. He uses his own unique brand of humor to lead his characters through one disaster after another with his fearless anti-hero Antonio rallying the troops. This time around the focus is not on Antonio but on our visiting consultants, Cyra and Preston, who bring with them another level of hilarity. Loads of one-liners and pithy back and forth between them add to the already slightly dysfunctional family we've gotten to know and love. We also meet Cyra's mini-poodle Amy, who has issues and her mother, who slept with Cyra's ex-husband before he was an ex. Antonio and Mark are sprinkled throughout the story and we get to learn a little more about Mark's past, which just might surprise some.I'm a huge fan of Antonio, referred to as TD&H; (tall, dark and handsome) by Cyra and Preston, so not having him be the star of the show was a bit of disappointment to me. While in the story, he isn't the key player and I missed him. Cyra and Preston's pithy back and forth may was a little too much for my taste, a little pith goes a long way and this was a lot of pith.Missing Antonio and pithy comments aside, this is another great offering in this series and I laughed through the whole thing. It's not necessary to read the previous books to catch on to what is going on, but why the heck wouldn't you? I can't wait to see what Antonio and company are up to next.Member of the Paranormal Romance Guild Dual Review Team
