About this ebook

From the New York Times bestselling authors of The Cartel series comes a new chapter in a world that only Ashley and JaQuavis know how to bring to life.

The LaCroixs are four beautiful Haitian American women bound by money and blood. On the surface, the LaCroix Group is a venture capitalist company, but underneath, it’s so much more. The four sisters run long cons, targeting wealthy, prominent business figures. They have a system: Find the perfect mark, create the problem, then present the solution. For a cost...

Sutton “Sutty” LaCroix, the eldest sister and an accomplished business maven, sits on the family throne as the CEO of the LaCroix Group and is the face of their operation. No one is as good as Sutton when it comes to finding new prey.

However, when Sutton meets West, a young, black oil tycoon—a man who represents a life she and her sisters vowed never to live—she breaks all the rules. The LaCroix sisters have a pact: to never settle down and leave roots in one place. But Sutton falls in love with West's good looks, charm, and old money. This means that West is a problem. When he inducts her into a high society of opulence, power, and generational wealth, Sutton finds herself torn between the love of her life and the love of her family.

I think fans will buy part 2 without feeling like they are compelled to, if they want to conclude part 1. Stay true to your audience and not lose them through a forced purchase, especially if book 2 does not deliver on the quality of the read. It would be better to have a good book, than to ruin the whole story with a half assed sequel. Ok.

I will give a 4 star, here is why... IMO I had to think about this. I am thinking this has nothing to do with The Cartel previous trilogies from The Cartel 1 to 7 as this is not Cartel 8. That said, also, IMO, this is a beginning of a new set of Cartels, and this is the 1st of that series. Mr. Coleman has yet to write The Cartel 8 Long Live the Cartel.
