I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. I enjoyed reading this story and I believe that you will too.

I just could not like the story. I found the history interesting enough to keep me reading. I think I may have appreciated it more if I read it at a different time and not during a pandemic. It was just so depressing. I kept waiting for happiness and when I finally thought it would happen it was squashed out. That being said I applaud the research put into the book.

Lucille learns the hard way that she can't trust men. Her missing husband and the San Antonio chief of police are proof of that. But the Great Depression insists that she needs a man - or the open wallets of many men - to build her Texas empire and raise the daughter she wishes she didn't have. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book. I absolutely loved reading this book.

This book, based on women s opportunities in life, is a mesmerizing read. I could not put it down. I spent the entire day reading and I have thought of nothing else since finishing. The main character is Lucille, a prostitute, who is also a mother and a business woman. This give a very realistic look on what this type of life is like. There are many heartwrenching situations. It touches on rape, violence abortion and death so there may be triggers for some readers. The story is well written and the first book in a trilogy. I am anxiously awaiting the second book to be available.

Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to read this incredible book for my honest review.

This was something different for me, however I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was easy to read, the plot was easy to follow and I found myself invested in the story.

this was a great start to a series, the characters were great and it really took you on a journey. i look forward to reading the sequels and more from the author.
