Charlie Gomez has not had an easy life with her mom, Elsa. Charlie believes that Elsa suffers from delusional paranoia as she has always been looking out behind her and worried about El Diablo. When Elsa dies, Charlie and her best friend Jasmine move to New York City but they haven't left everything behind.
Jaxon Roberts has a Private Investigator and has been running his adopted father's business. His father, Charles, never got over being left by Elsa and always believed the best about her. When Jaxon tracks down Charlie after the death of Charles, he hoped she would just take the money and leave but Charlie wants in on the family business.
When Jaxon isn't the only one to track Charlie down she realizes how right her mother was and that maybe she was better off when she was hidden. When Charlie disappears will Jaxon discover the truth?
I enjoyed this book and some of the twists and turns that we saw happen. I liked Charlie and really liked how she realized at the end how genuine her mom was and why they lived the way that they did. It was super sad but as a mom I do understand. I also loved how Charlie couldn't have things go right with the simplest of everything - she and working just did not go well together and it wasn't on purpose.
I think Jaxon was right to initially be hesitant towards Charlie but he kept up his guard for so long and then just gave up. I loved his friendship with Tony and I'm glad Tony understood what was going on!
The stuff with Charlie's other family was horrifying and I understood where Alberto was coming from initially and then the change in him at the right time.
This was the first time I have read this author and it won't be my last.

Slow-cooker Chili
Out of the blue my son asked for chili one day. He said he loved chili and I honestly can't remember ever making it for him but I was more than happy to make it for him.
I knew that I wanted a slow cooker chili as we are at the beginning of all the sports starting again and time is super limited on certain days. I also wanted to make sure we found one that wasn't loaded with things we didn't need - namely sugar.
I found this one through one of the other blogs that I subscribe to and thought it looked good and I honestly would never have thought to mix the two different meats.
My son absolutely loved the chili and my daughter thought it was ok but considering she did consume some of it I did consider it a success!!
Super easy to make - just be prepared to either cook the meats the night before or in the morning!

Blurb
Cinderella never had to deal with this crap.
Jane isn't entirely sure that Cinderella got such a raw deal. Sure, she had a rough start, but didn't she eventually land a prince and a happily-ever-after? Meanwhile, Jane is busy waiting on her demanding, entitled sisters, running her cleaning business, and . . . yep, not a prince in sight. Until a party and a broken shoe incident leave Jane wondering if princes---or at least, a certain deliciously hunky billionaire---maybe do exist.
Except Brock Wellington isn't anyone's dream guy. Hell, a prince would never agree to be auctioned off in marriage to the highest bidder. Or act like an arrogant jerk---even if it was just a façade. Now, as Brock is waiting for the auction chopping block, he figures it's karmic retribution that he's tempted by a sexy, sassy woman he can't have. But while they can't have a fairy-tale ending, maybe they can indulge in a little bit of fantasy . . .
To celebrate this AMAZING release, Rachel would like to offer ONE LUCKY WINNER an Epic Prize!
(Signed Set of The Bet Series + $10 Amazon gift Card)
