When Hetta is on the scene, something riotous, unplanned and completed unexpected will occur - complete chaos in one tiny person named Hetta!
While Hetta is an quixotic anti-heroine who is typically dragged into her role by circumstances, she fights for the downtrodden, particularly those who have no voice (animals, children, women) who are often overlooked or abused (dogfighting in another book) when others avoid or avert their eyes and run from the issues.
Gotta love a gal who will do what’s right and those who stay with her till the end, fighting to protect those in need - gives those of us in our ordinary lives hope that one day our society will be more like that.
Thanks Jinx for makes us all dream big of a world where women create friendships that change lives, protect and serve and eliminate the baddies!!!! YES! ...more

Just before she departs Mexico and heads to cooler climates, Hetta is accosted by a gangbanger and his rabid dog attempting to attack a terrified local pet, defenseless little Cha Cha, while its owner is away.
Hetta and an older Mexican Abuela jump in to defend the frightened animal, but trouble begins almost immediately, since the sinister young man is part of one of the vicious dog fighting rings and one of the brutal cartels, and Jenks, Hetta’s sweetie, has her hustled out of town pronto.
No one realizes the lethal chain of events that begins with a simple act of kindness, just defending Cha Cha in public, that ultimately leads to taking down the dog fighting rings - and the teams it takes to do so, and those at risk to make it happen. How glorious it would be for that to happen it real life!

This particular story focuses on a sweet endangered species of the sea and the fight to protect them, with the team that rotates through the books.
Among the recurring characters are Hetta’s bestie Jan, their new pal Gypsy, their handsome acquaintance Nacho, Jan’s sweetie Chino and of course Hetta’s long term love Jenks - and let’s not forget Hetta’s evil aunt Lil, foisted on her once again by her family.
Much hilarity ensues entwined with some dark and difficult circumstances and family drama - somehow the author finds the perfect blend of action and emotion for a unique series that has carried my interest through all the books and cheering on all the characters for their best lives and selves.
An excellent novel, a truly entertaining series and a totally worthwhile read...more
