Caridad Pineiro - South Beach Chicas Catch Their Man

by JM

south_beach_chicas_1.jpgA cop. A muscled cop. A muscled cop who saved your life. A muscled cop who saved your life who also has super sexy eyes.

What more could you want in a man?

With things getting a little hot and steamy right in the first chapter, I smirked and sat back, knowing I was in for something good.

Sylvia Amenabar has a lovely life. A hunky man who has proven he’ll put his life on the line for her, a job as a reporter, and three wonderful amigas. So what’s wrong? The four lovely amigas have wonderful men in their lives…and Sylvia’s not too sure she likes it all that much.

Still, Carlos Ramirez is one hot cop…even if he might be a dirty cop.

Sylvia faces a lot of choices in this book as her friends move along happily in their steady relationships and she has to dig into the painful past of Carlos and much of the force to figure out who’s dirty, who’s clean, and just who is involved.

Is Carlos a dirty cop? Is his friend, Riley - Sylvia’s amiga Adriana’s boyfriend - in on it too? Will Sylvia destroy the one true chance at happiness she has to find out?

Even though this was a sequel, I didn’t feel particularly put off during reading it because of that. I, of course, now want to read the first one, but I don’t feel it’s a necessity to do so to enjoy this book.

I enjoyed this book a lot not only because I was relieved to not have to hunt down the first book to understand what was going on but because it showed five (watch out for Sylvia’s mum!) successful women who built it all themselves and are now enjoying the best out of life.

Caridad does well not only exploring the relationships of younger women but also in exploring the relationships of the forty-somethings who society sometimes forgets about in the romantic realm.

This book is perfect for a bit of light (and hot!) reading for the last days you can manage to get on the beach this season or during your candlelit baths.
