Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Quick Fix by J. Gregory Smith

I guess I didn’t realize I was a fan until I looked at all of his books I  have reviewed.  I have never found one any less than four stars and most have been five stars.   This new book is a step above even five stars.  I really enjoyed the book.   Action or adrenaline junkies this book will satisfy your lust! 

One of the aspects that added to the enjoyment was the recognition of many of the places as the book is set in the Philadelphia area.   The gist of the story is two buddies, “contractors” for the military are recovering from their last visit to the “sandbox”.   Kyle is the main protagonist and he is recovering from an IED.   Kyle is also going through a divorce.   His buddy Ryan, has a quick fix for Kyle’s money problems and there is the beginning of the problems.

Smith crafts characters that you actually know.  We all have friends like Ryan and Kyle.  A loveable rogue whose pranks got you into trouble in high school can lead you down the primrose path to incarceration as an adult.  A gullible good guy with a temper and a more robust physic can fall prey to or merely want to believe in a financial panacea having no down side. 

These two are not kids but they do have a less than thoughtful approach to the world.   Rollie, a bonafide adult, brings some maturity to the story.

This is a “can’t put it down” kind of book.  In spite of having a dinner party for 16 and all of the accompanying chores, I finished the book in 48 hours or so.

I highly recommend,  Smith is honing his craft to a new and exciting level!

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
