The body count on this job is freaking me out. Since I signed on to bust scam artists with Chameleon, the missions have been getting increasingly dangerous--and so has my love life! There's Arch, my bad-boy Scottish lover, who's been keeping secrets so long, he may never come clean. Then there's my sexy boss, Milo, who's in hot water with some seriously bad characters. Maybe it's time for a whole new gig--one without cons or criminals. But first I have to bring in one more bad apple...in my own inimitable style. After that, one of my guys had better step up to the plate, or it's hasta la vista for Evie.... Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Beth Ciotta knows how to keep a reader entertained and “Evie Ever After” is no exception. I enjoy Ciotta’s trademark humor, her skill with love scenes, and most of all, her characters. The lessons they learn and their unique ways of dealing with life stick with you long after the book is finished. Although this is the third and final book in the ‘Chameleon Chronicles’, readers of the series will be thrilled for Evie and the choices she makes. It’s the story of Evie coming into her own and accepting herself for what she is…and isn’t.
When 40 hits and Evie finds herself losing roles to the younger crowd and being replaced by a younger wife, instead of spiraling down into depression she takes a step which turns her life into a new direction. Now she’s a bona fide agent for Chameleon, a special government agency that uses conmen (and women) to beat the scammers at their own game. She’s also a woman torn between two men…one the logical choice and the other, apparently the choice of her heart. While trying to grapple with her personal issues, she and the rest of the Chameleon team are also on the trail of the biggest case in their careers. Their beloved boss Milo is being framed by their CIA boss! Taking down the dirty agent and his secrets may just mean the end of their team…if they live through it!
I love the whole idea of conning the conmen. It’s a situation that easily lends itself to humor and Ciotta takes full advantage with witty dialogue and snappy exchanges between all the characters involved. I would caution readers who begin with this last book to brush up on their ‘con’ slang or they just might find themselves resorting to an online dictionary to keep up! Each of the characters is so fully developed and their attitudes are portrayed so well in their respective manners of speech that I didn’t have any problems with the first person perspective, even as it zigzagged back and forth. That’s quite an accomplishment!
But what I really loved about this whole series is reading about Evie’s life, loves, and troubles. Evie’s journey was a painful one in many ways. Her career and her marriage pretty much hit the skids at the beginning of the first book and this whole series was about Evie beginning again after 40. In “Evie Ever After” Beth Ciotta showcases the ‘new’ Evie—and she’s better than ever. She’s what I want to be once I eventually grow up…happy with herself, accepting of the choices she’s made, and celebrating her relationships with friends and family. If there’s anything more uplifting than that…I surely don’t know what it would be. Now if she would just write more quickly... ( )
