Soldiers of Fortune (Miss Fortune Mysteries Book 6) Kindle Edition

CIA Operative Fortune Redding is back in another fun-filled, hilarious adventure. Fortune is still in Sinful, Louisiana hiding out from Ahmad, a very bad man who wants her dead. When the vindictive new mayor (whose election is being contested) fires the sheriff and appoints her lazy, good-for-nothing cousin to the position, the townspeople of Sinful know they’re in trouble. Things go from bad to worse when an explosion rips through the air. At first, no one is too concerned because they’re convinced it’s nothing more than a swamp still exploding. However, when Fortune and her friends learn it was a meth lab that blew, they get very worried. Someone’s cooking drugs in Sinful and they want to know who’s involved. With Carter (a Sinful deputy and Fortune’s beau) still on medical leave, and the new sheriff sitting back with his feet up, Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie once again team up to find the people responsible for the explosion before the drugs hit the streets of Sinful.What an enjoyable read! Soldiers of Fortune is a laugh-out-loud story that keeps the reader entertained from beginning to end. Author Jana Deleon has developed a wonderfully wacky group of characters. Fortune has grown since the first book. She has gone from being a loner to caring deeply for her new friends. She is developing a relationship with Carter that both scares and excites her. It bothers her that she has to lie to him about who she really is, and she worries that things will change when he finds out. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that things work out for them.I’m not sure I’d want to move to Sinful permanently, but I sure do love my visits there. LOL I can’t wait to see what’s in store next for Fortune and the gang. I do recommend this series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Happy reading!

Deputy Carter is still recovering and all hell breaks out when Celia Archeneaux win the mayor race. With an audit required because the dead voted from the grave it’s a tense time. When the Fourth of July is interrupted my a meth lab explosion in the swamp it’s time for Swamp Team 3. A little romance included for our undercover CIA assassin. Great series.

Another very entertaining book from Jana Deleon! I love these characters, they keep me laughing.I liked that in this book Fortune manages to solve the mystery without involving Carter bringing back some wild characters from her last adventure.Ida Belle and Gertie were in top form as they brought havoc to the bayou. The author is so descriptive I can see the action and can't help but chuckle if not laugh hysterically.I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

I think this is the best book yet. By now the characters are like good family. You sort of know what to expect. But here is the deal, when you read a book written by a talented author, that draws you right into the story. You are riding in airboat, you can almost smell the corn, potatoes and crawfish coming out of the pot, you feel and smell the things all around you. This is not just a book or a story but you travel to Sinful and the moment you are there. You meet you hero's Gertie, Ida Belle, Fortune, you get to meet the dream boat Carter and his grand dad Walter. Just excellent, loved that it was not a short story, it was full of content, loved the whole plot and really loved that we learned a bit more on Ida, Gertie and Marie and the time during Vietnam that they gave their time in the service. Ida, Gertie and Fortune are all starting to work together like a well oiled machine. Love this series.

The latest adventures of Fortune and her geriatric team of crime solvers. Ms. Deleon consistently delivers a high quality well written book that you must be careful about reading in public and it is laugh out loud funny. The antics of Ida Belle and Gertie are hilarious and Fortune makes the perfect foil.Jana has created a world that you want to visit. Sinful Louisiana sounds like a fun place to be. Unless you happen to be the latest victim whose murder needs to be solved. If you don't like your who dun it served up with a big slice of humor these might not be for you. If you like a good laugh and want the book your are reading to be fun, funny and well written well then pull up a chair and try this series on for size.Each book stands alone but you will want to read the whole series once you start.

I love this series. The zany characters are so much fun. This book has crime, a great mystery, a touch of romance, great friendships, and a multitude of shenanigans. This is a very enjoyable book and series.

Reading these books has given me more fun than I could have ever imagined. This time around Sinful, LA has fallen apart after Celia Arcaneaux is elected mayor to replace the last mayor in a special election. Even though the results are being challenged when it is found that at least one dead resident has voted, Celia starts her overhaul. Celia's cousin, the no-good, Nelson is named sheriff after she fires the inept but lovable elected sheriff Lee. Nelson fires the dispatcher and replaces her with a hooker and that just sets the stage. There is an explosion, a leg, an injury to Carter and Swamp Team 3 is in action. Great story telling, amazing characters. I can't wait until the next book comes out!!!!

I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face when Gertie, in her "ladies of questionable morality" brand swimsuit and plastic boa, wentslingshotting through the air on an inflatable alligator and collided with an ice chest of fish. This is only one nanosecond of the hilarious antics interspersed with the serious investigations of The Swamp Team 3. While these three ladies get into some trouble, they are a force to be reckoned with and strong characters that need to be taken seriously. Ms DeLeon never fails to entertain and make me laugh, whether it's with the Miss Fortune series or the Ghost-in-Law series, love them all and eagerly anticipate the next one.

Things are starting to get really interesting in Sinful, Louisiana. Fortune Redding a C I A assassin has been hiding out from a murdering drug dealer for the last month. Her cover is that of a librarian closing up her deceased aunts estate, on moving in she meets her aunts best friends Ida Belle and Gertie who recognise Fortune's skill set as they were spy's during the Vietnam war. They have seen it as their lives mission to protect the people and the town of Sinful from any nefarious goings on and think nothing of getting involved in the Sherrifs investigations but they normally just run to crimes like running moonshine and poaching. Fortunes arrival in town coincides with a lot of strange goings on, murders ( some over five years old some recent ) smuggling and drug dealing being just a few of the troubling problems to surface in the town, Ida Belle and Gertie are determined to get to the bottom of what's happening and find the people responsible with Fortunes help, and Fortune feels obligated to help them, at first, then as she gets to know and like them goes along to ensure their safety, after all they are senior citizens who really should be doing nothing more strenuous than knitting. Not these two, they get in more trouble in a day than Fortune has in her entire life even in her job she never had to lie so much. Oh and the town's deputy just happens to be wise to what the women are doing, he also has a soft spot for Fortune one which is returned, even though she knows that her bosses may pull her out at a moment notice if her cover gets blown. This sounds so ridiculous as a plot for a series of book but let me tell you, they work, on every level. They are funny, exciting, there's a mystery to solve and a hint of romance, I laugh out loud reading of the antics the Sinful Ladies get up to and am reading them all in one go. Thats how good they are, try the sample you won't be disappointed.

Oh how i love Jana's books, i have every one of them and this book in the series does not disappoint (other than i wish the stories would never end) I just love the characters in Jana's books, whether it be the Miss Fortune books or the Ghost in law books, the characters are so believable and you just wish that you could have these people in your lives and be one of the gang, I will never get old of reading what Ida Belle and Gertie are getting up to now in this series, I sit with the biggest grin on my face when reading the books and laugh out loud. A great author for making you escape the world and jump into theirs.

Another great story in this series from one of my favourite authors. Gripping escapades and high jinx, so many scrapes and escapes and so funny I end up crying with laughter. Then there is the scary bits that get you thinking 'what next' and the on going 'will Carter find out her secret'. The 3 women in the series make Charlies Angels look like empty air heads; Gertie, Ida and Fortune are tough, resourceful and hilarious. Readers should really take a look at this series it is brilliant and I can't wait for the next in the series.Well done and thank you Jana for writing such amazing stories with everything I want in a book..

Love these books the stories are great have never worked one out yet. Have been told of by hubby for laughing out loud at some of the main characters antics . Great read

I have loved the entire series. The whacky situations Fortune finds herself in at the behest of two old ladies make me laugh, and the explanations they think up to cover their tracks are so funny. I love the characters and the icing on the cake is that each mystery isn't bad either. I hope the next one comes soon!
