After reading The Fate of a Marlowe Girl, I needed to get my hands on this book. Kammy seemed so reckless and wild in the first book, but you definitely see a different side of her in The Other Marlowe Girl. Kammy's grown up and been through some emotional times. Now she's trying to straighten her life out, but that isn't easy when her past is chasing her. Her ex-husband's drug dealer is demanding money that Kammy doesn't have. She's afraid of what will happen if she doesn't pay up, so she tries to get money any way she can. She's also trying to patch up her relationship with her sister Tiffany, who seems to have the perfect life now with her husband and daughter. But since Kammy's ex is also Tiffany's ex, things are more than a little complicated between the sisters.When Enrique shows up in Kammy's life, she can't deny the attraction. But he's Tiffany's brother-in-law, which means he knows all about Kammy's wild past--the one she's trying to leave behind. Kammy doesn't think things can work out between them, but Enrique is persistent.I loved Kammy in this book. Beth Fred does a great job of taking a character that isn't very likable in the first book and shows all sides of her personality so she's a sympathetic character in this book. I was rooting for Kammy and felt bad for all that she had to endure.The Marlowe Girls are very interesting characters, and they make the books very quick reads.
