"...This is a hardcore story and not for the faint of heart. I had to read it in two sittings since I was crying so much I couldn't see the screen..." 4 * rating Long and Short Reviews
"...Plenty is a novel about love and corruption, friendships and salvation, the descent into hell and the effort to survive as such, it's not for those seeking a romance story or an easy leisure read... Female readers seeking an antithesis to Fifty Shades of Gray with more dynamic, powerful female characters will find Plenty more than fits the bill." 5 * review by D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
When tragedy affects his life, an unconvicted, "politically-shielded" professional killer blames and hunts a young woman. He pursues sweet revenge. Her beloved adoptive family circle the wagons around her. This time, for him, it's more than a job. It's a welcomed war. Can the family survive? How?
In Prosperity, Texas, charm begins at the county line, a large mint green sign reads: "Wholesome Living in a Storybook setting". A town park - resplendent with yellow, pink and red roses, a white gazebo, a stout limestone footbridge, a pond flanked by Weeping Cherry trees and nesting Mallard ducks - locks-in the message.
Yet, beneath the idyllic sugar-coated appearance, plenty of problems plague Prosperity - political corruption, an influx of illegal drugs, road rage, theft, prostitution and pornography. Sheriff Gordon has put his stamp on Prosperity - reaping huge profits in the process. His go-to-enforcer, Bruce, a cocaine-addicted, misogynistic, hit man maintains law, order and iron-fisted justice as per Gordon's aggressive agenda.
Camille, a gorgeous, lonely, young woman has caught the unwavering eye and attention of Gordon's son, Grant. Handsome, wealthy, powerful, sadistic Grant and naive Camile become a couple in spite of Gordon's fury. Camille has also enchanted Ben, Bruce's only son, and Grant's best friend.
Crippled by circumstances - trafficking, adolescence, immaturity, a bad romance, a lack of education and ambition, how can she prevail?
Can this nightmare become anymore hellish? Yes.
For mature audiences only. DLSV.
Inspired by a true story of a tyrannical crooked Sheriff and a conversation with a distraught mother of a sex trafficked teen during a book tour.
