*****
Shannon is just another single woman in Los Angeles who is desperate to find “The One.” She is a pretty, decently-educated Episcopalian princess, and—it appears—there is absolutely nothing wrong with her. What appears to be wrong is that her Prince Charming is ten years overdue, and more than fashionably late in making his appearance.
Meanwhile, Shannon gets kidnapped by a Mexican mobster from one of the most notorious crime syndicates in Mexico. It is payback for her boss’s corruption and wrongdoing in secret, criminal transactions. Shannon’s hope for her release is slim since she knows her boss couldn’t care less about her life. She must escape on her own and return to her everyday agenda of searching for her future husband. She has to hurry, too, because she’s running out of time!

Charming, Clever, and Hilarious!
I loved this book! It was charming, clever, and very funny. A hilarious look at the life of a single woman in her late 30's who lives in Los Angeles. It was a super enjoyable read, and I highly recommend it!
What's so great about this story is the dialogue and the characters
What's so great about this story is the dialogue and the characters. You get a clear image of each character like they are living, breathing, real individuals living in our world. I have to admit, the story took me by surprise as to where the main character wound up in, but in the end it all worked out and isn't that what our lives are about too? No one can predict where our life would go...and sometimes our very wishes can come true in the least expected way. What to Kill For is a great example of this.
