Salted

Hot water Spa

I must say that as this series progresses (each book is its own story) Lacey finds herself in more and more hot water which she somehow manages to get out of while at the same time she manages (with the help of a few friends) to solve a problem for her mafia grandfather/family.
Gina LaMana certainly knows how to spin a clever tale and she does it with wit and cunning and then along comes Caitlin Kelly - and as she speaks, she paints verbal pictures with her clever narration. Well done ladies. This has been a great partnership.
I'm really looking forward to the next audiobook in this series.
I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

The spa from hell?

This series is free of graphic sex, and extreme violence. Well, except when you snort coffee out your nose from sudden contact with wiseassery. Lucy Lacey is at it again with her friends and relatives. Her relatives? Well, her grandfather is the Godfather in Minneapolis, her cousin is the ultimate geek. Friends? Girlfriend is an ex-cop with her own view of justice, and the bodyguard is simply delish. This time, she needs to find out who is running the prostitution ring in town so that they can be "encouraged" to leave town. The Salt in the title refers to a spa. No spoilers here. Just be prepared for a hilarious time!
Caitlin Kelly gives her usual super audio performance, and brings each of the *characters* to clearly defined life. She always has the appropriate pacing, and her speech is clear and you can feel that she is having so much fun with this.
I received this book as a gift from a FB friend.

LOVED IT ONCE AGAIN!!! I cant get enough of this series, and will be trying to wait patiently for book 4! Once again Lacey is sticking her nose in where she probably shouldn't and getting herself in deep trouble, this one she almost gets blown up a couple times! All the characters are super great in this series, and I absolutely can not get enough of Caitlin Kelly's narrations...she is 100% AWESOME!!!!!

Thank You Once Again Caitlin!!!

SHE MIGHT WORK FOR THE MOB - BUT SHE HAS MORALS

What made the experience of listening to Salted the most enjoyable?

i liked the narrators voice- she sounded like i imagined lacey would sound

Who was your favorite character and why?

lacey - our slightly shady heroine who found out she is related to the mob

Which character – as performed by Caitlin Kelly – was your favorite?

lacey-- she makes her come to life -- i feel as though i am in the same room with lacey and she is catching me with what has been going on in her life

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

SHE MIGHT WORK FOR THE MOB - BUT SHE HAS MORALS

Any additional comments?

ok if you like stepanie plum books you will like listening to this one-- some steamy romance - fast paced action- lots of plot twists-- lacey seems to get in and out of trouble every time she turns around- she is feisty- has a stubborn steak- flirty - is addicted to sugar laced drinks and pastry's -this is a tale that you will probably keep you up later then planned as you try to figure out just who are the bad guys--- a suggestion do not drive while listening to this-- i was doing the gardening and sometimes laughing so much i was falling down on the grass

Love

Caitlin Kelly nails it again! I had read this book before I received the audible copy! Caitlin does a wonderful job of bringing Gina LaManna writing to life!!

Awesome Story!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I think Caitlin did a very good job with
all the characters. I always thought the books were funny but I think hearing
them out loud made them even funnier. I'm definitely looking forward to getting
the other books in the series. If they're half as good as this one, then I know that
I'm going to love them too.

LOVED It!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the third book in the Lacey Luzzi Mafia Mysteries series by Gina LaManna and narrated by Caitlin Kelly. Lacey gets another assignment from Carlos, she is investigating the local spa and rumors of a prostitution ring. I loved this book and seeing what kind of crazy situations that Lacey gets herself into. This book kept me laughing throughout it.

The narrator Caitlin Kelly did a wonderful job, and was very easy to listen too. She did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I can’t wait to read the next book by this author. Once I started listening to this book, I didn’t want to stop until the end.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Really enjoyed listening to this book!

Characters were great, interesting, funny, perfect with each other! Narrator did an Amazing job!

Funny Mob Princess

Where does Salted rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks near the top. So difficult to compare apples to oranges. Each book is a delight in itself for a variety of reasons. This one is humorous, has an engaging mystery and romance.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

One knew that our lovely, but inept protagonist would get rescued but how and by whom.

Which scene was your favorite?

Difficult to say as the most recent listened to is what is fresh in my mind. All interaction between Lacey and Anthony is entertaining. Other scenes would be spoiled if I were to describe them.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There was a chuckle, snort, and more.

Imagine Stephanie Plum working for the mob!

This is the third book in the series and they keep getting better. Lacey Luzzi grows up with a single mom and then discovers that her family include the boss of the Twin Cities mob. She does odd jobs for her grandfather that usually turn out to be not illegal.

I am really enjoying Gina's books and cannot wait for the next one.
