Connie’s review of Fast Track (The Sisterhood: Rules of the Game, Book 3) by Fern Michaels
Romantic Suspense mass market release by Zebra 1 Jul 08

In this Sisterhood book, the girls are approached to help the World Bank with a matter of missing money that should have helped poor countries but they also want to keep this from the world press. The start of the book finds the sisters leaving their mountain retreat to return to Washington at the British Embassy, which has been emptied for them.

I like all the tricks Charles has up his sleeves. Unfortunately the empty embassy does not go unnoticed and raises questions with Ted and some fellow reporters who just want a story and get back to important matters. Their idea of a solution sends shock waves and terror through the community.

The girls are trying to rush their mission through so they can disappear again and not be recaptured. They meet one of the main squeezes of the man they want and proceed to get her help in bringing this nab down.

I like this series and this was no exception but I felt like in the end the guy did not get enough of what he deserved. Maybe I’m blood thirsty but when you steal food from a hungry child’s mouth you deserve the worst that can happen to you.

Grade: B

WHEN YOU NEED THE BEST, YOU NEED THE SISTERHOOD…It’s been years since the members of the Sisterhood first banded together, with the help of their mentor Charles Martin, to exact their own form of justice on those whose crimes had gone unpunished by the legal system. Now, back in the United States after an enforced exile, and ensconced in a new home on Big Pine Mountain in North Carolina, Myra, Kathryn, Annie, Alexis, Isabelle, Yoko, and Nikki are breathing easy at last-but not for long. One dark night, under cover of a vicious storm, a helicopter lands on their mountain. The Sisters aren’t about to wait to be ambushed. Braving the storm, they set out to greet their guests, only to be told by Charles that the mysterious visitors are the Sisterhood’s new employers, and they’ve got a dangerous new assignment in mind. The task they face is daunting. If they succeed, the Sisterhood will be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams. If they fail, they’ll forfeit much more than a paycheck. But if the Ladies of Pinewood have learned one thing over the course of their adventures, it’s that when friends band together, miracles can happen…
