A Girl, Stuck (Found Families Series) by Kelly Elizabeth Huston – Review by Jennifer Gordon

A Girl, Stuck by Kelly Elizabeth Huston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An entertaining and engaging romantic crime story which is full of suspense and which kept me hooked throughout. Main character Harriet “Harry” Smith is a tough if slightly reckless private investigator and a criminology professor in New York City. She’s on a surveillance job when she comes face to face with Trey Popov, who is a rising star in the Trubetzkoy crime family. Harry manages to escape and on their second meeting she is working undercover as a schoolteacher, but can’t help but feel an attraction to Trey. Despite wanting to climb the criminal ladder Trey can’t deny the connection he and Harry have, even though they are putting themselves in danger. Meanwhile, Harry is also looking for justice for her police detective father who was murdered. The descriptive narrative brings both the setting and the characters vividly to life, which made me feel fully immersed in the story. The storyline has plenty of plot twists which kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story, and although it’s part of a series it can be read as a standalone story. However, having met Harry in this novel I am keen to read the previous books in the series.
