Pink Jinx

November 1, 2006
Boston attorney Ronnie Jinkowsky can't live without Jake Jensen, a professional poker player, nor can she live with him. Emotionally torn from a lifelong battle between her oh-so-prim attorney grandmother and laid-back grandfather, Frank, for her affection, Ronnie isn't ready to face another round of romance with Jake. And neither is he, seeing as he's engaged to a younger woman. Over Ronnie's objections, Frank puts her in charge of his business, Jinx, Inc., a treasure-hunting company, and " Sweet Jinx," his boat. Unfortunately, Ronnie also inherits Frank's contract with the Mafia to look for some missing pink diamonds. Then Jake decides that he wants to be involved, too. " Pink Jinx" is the first book in Hill's new Jinx series, which is loosely linked to her Cajun series. With this comic contemporary romance's great plot, witty dialogue, humorous asides, and quirky characters, readers will be impatient for book two, " Pearl Jinx."(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
