Praise for the Lola Cruz Mysteries

"Ramirez's muy caliente debut introduces Dolores "Lola" Falcón Cruz, a Sacramento, Calif., PI whose kung fu moves are only part of her chica charm. A missing persons case-the disappearance of 42-year-old Emily Diggs, who left her six-year-old son, Sean, stranded at school-turns into a murder investigation after a boater finds Emily's body near Riverbank Marina. Lola's old high school crush, Jack Callaghan, now a Sacramento Bee reporter, provides some unexpected help. Emily had approached Jack about her 18-year-old son Garrett's recent death-from what Emily believed was a "heart infection" due to a faulty tattoo. Lola's determined to uncover the facts and catch the killer, even if it means, gulp, getting a girly belly-button piercing. Ramirez keeps the action tight, the plot smart and humor light in this spicy blend of crime solving and romance. Lola's Latina perspective adds extra sizzle." ~ Publishers Weekly

"This highly entertaining first-person novel launches a new series with a bang.
