Larissa Reinhart writes such interesting and unusual characters, I've always wondered what she is like in person. Finley Goodhart from The Cupid Caper is another unique character.

Finley is a pool hustler and a good one at that, but she still longs for her ex-boyfriend and fellow grifter Lex Leopold. She knows she needs to go straight, but being a hustler has been so much of her life, she doesn't see a way out.

When her friend Penny is found dead of a drug overdose, Finley knows this is not true. Because of the way Penny was raised, she swore drugs would never be part of her life. Swearing to find the killer, Finley finds herself mixed up in a world of gangsters, hustlers and their marks.

When Penny's death points to a exclusive dating service targeting tech millionaires, Fin and Lex go undercover and discover a more sinister con.

Penny's millionaire boyfriend Mark Davis seems to have landed in the con with both feet. Penny made him her mark and conned him into embezzling money, but when she fell in love with him, she told him the truth. Unfortunately Mark was too far into the scam to get out by himself and Penny was killed. That's where Fin and Lex come in.

They set up an elaborate con at a Valentine's Day event to sting the Platinum Partners before they know what hits them.

The Cupid Caper is billed a book #1. I cannot imagine what trouble Fin and Lex will get into in the next book. A fun adventure with a bit of surprise at the end.
