Ginger Ring

Gangsters, sheriff, and judge on the take. The sheriff hires John to be a bodyguard to his sister, not knowing she was a witness to a murder. John and Grace are attracted to each other but Grace does not want a gangster.

I liked the story and characters. I enjoy that era of Prohibition. John and Grace have a lot to deal with as John is looking for his sister and Grace is looking to leave the town. The threat of death is always close to the surface. Ms. Ring captured the era well.

I have to show more read the next book in the series. I want to know what happens, if John finds his sister, or if the gangsters find John and Grace. show less

The Gangster's Kiss is the first book I have read by Ginger Ring, but it won't be the last! This book has such a realistic feel that I felt like I had stepped back in time. I love reading about the "Roaring 20's" and this book was no exception.

The characters are very believable and well written. They developed so clearly in my mind as I read along that I could close my eyes and picture what was happening. John and Grace are such a perfectly unsuited couple that somehow fit together. They show more come from different places in the world but belong together. Life may not always be easy, but they learn how to work together to get what they want.

The era of gangsters and the speakeasies during Prohibition, the Roaring 20's are so vivid and Ms. Ring writes so fluently of a time gone by that it's apparent she has spent a lot of time researching to get it right! There is a book filled with action, trouble and it moves along very quickly. I'm looking forward to reading more in the Love is a Dangerous Thing Trilogy.

The Gangster's Kiss by Ginger Ring is a marvelous book. Once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down! I give The Gangster's Kiss five steaming hot cups of Room With Books coffee and I highly recommend it.
