I got the first book free, Red Mojo Mama.  I enjoyed it so much I bought this second one.It is not a 'bad' book.For me, it was a disappointment.  It starts out with Red and Joe on a cruise.  Maybe I just don't like cruises..it just didn't ring true.  They make dear friends with two of those they are seated  with at dinner, but a third couple deserts their table for 'younger' people. ??The author wrote this book mostly in dialogue which I was disappointed about.  I like to know what the characters are doing and seeing and feeling.This woman, Red, is 39 years old and talks like a 60 year old much of the time.  She refers to people and times and experiences like a 60 year old.  She uses expressions a 30+ year old wouldn't use.I was glad when she was back in the 'trailer park' she had inherited, and I knew those people.  She brought back with her an older woman who was mistreated by her husband and she immediately has a man for the wronged wife. Those two have a dalliance, which is quite unlikely.I don't want to totally diss this book.I was just very disappointed.  I felt that the dialogue propelled me through the book much too quickly. A little more character development might have helped.But I bought it, I read it, and I will look forward to a third book by this author.Recommended ...try it.  Maybe I am wrong. I couldn't bring myself to give this book 3 stars.
