Tequila Midnight is the first book in the Jessica Watts Southwest Suspense series and debut novel by Kathryn Dodson. It is an intriguing crime and investigation story with mystery, suspense, danger, resentment, damaged/flawed characters, action, adventure, and more.
Jessica Watts gets a bit more than she bargained for when she goes on the hunt for a missing girl. Dangers, twists, and tension make this a fast-paced and intriguing read. I will definitely be keeping me eye out for the rest of this series, as well as anything else Ms. Dodson produces.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kathryn Dodson!

This book is set in El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. Jessica has had a pretty horrible life. Her parents abandoned her when she was 16 and she was left with family friends to oversee her teenage years. A time when she needed her parents, especially her mother, she was left. Her dad was in a lot of trouble with a bad business deal and he wanted to escape those who were after him. He didn’t consider the toll on his daughter.

Jessica is now grown up and is a real estate agent settling deals between the borders. When Tomas approaches her with a new job, she is ready to take it on, especially when she hears what the payout will be. She’s not quite prepared for where it may take her though. Jessica deals with the angst in her life by drinking a lot of tequila and having one night stands in bar bathrooms. Then she goes home to her best friend Angus who’s dying to save her from all this turmoil.

Overall, this was an enjoyable, fast paced read. There is a lot of action taking place throughout and many times I wanted to smack Jessica because of her poor decisions. Some may disagree with me but I felt that there was a tad bit of a cliffhanger there at the end. I’ll be happy to read more books in this series.

Tequila Midnight is a fast paced, action-packed, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat, crime novel that will keep you riveted until the very end. The story centers around a tough as nails character named Jessica who works as a broker making real estate deals across the border. She has built hard walls around herself and has a hard time letting go of the painful past she had. Jessica’s trauma has affected her life and caused her to have a hard time moving forward. When she is asked to look for the missing daughter of a Mexican crime lord her true strength is put to the test. She finds herself having to rely on her strength, courage, and wits to survive the challenges that get thrown at her as she searches for the missing girl.

The storyline was engaging, the backdrop of the story was intriguing, and the character of Jessica was one that I found myself rooting for. Jessica’s past was painful, and because of her lack of love from her parents it affected her ability to love anyone as an adult. She learned to put up walls and be tough because she was given no other choice. This book had action, suspense, drama, danger, intrigue, love, loss, angst, betrayal, and twists and turns that will keep you reading until the end. I highly recommend!

This book is a fast paced and intense story that sees the main character jumping from place to place to try and escape her past. Trapped by her past, Jessica does what she can to forget. And when she is hired to find a missing girl, it is the perfect escape for her. I was completely caught up in her story and couldn’t wait to see how things would play out.
This is the kind of book that, once you start reading, you just can’t put down. I had to see where Jessica’s journey took her. This really is a fantastic book and I did not want it to end.

Jessica is having some issues of her own to get through and Tomas decides to hire her for a tough case of a daughter that’s missing and a daddy that wants her found. Dang, this was an action packed story that had me reading and I couldn’t put down the story. I had to see what was coming.I’m often the first one going “just pause, it will be there when you get back.” Well, I couldn’t do that with this story. It’s that good. Badassery, thugs, a romance that she doesn’t want to acknowledge, daddy issues… you name it and it’s probably in this story. She grows up a bit as she’s hunting this girl and it’s a neat story to read and follow. I cannot wait for more with her and her friends. One of the best series I’ve read this year.

She keeps people at arm’s length and booze within easy reach. When she’s hired to find a billionaire’s daughter, she’ll need more than tequila to survive the night.

Texas. Jessica Watts won’t let anyone hurt her again. Scarred from her parents’ corruption and lack of love, the hard-boiled cross-border broker drowns her misery in the bottle and seals off her heart. But the tough-as-nails woman softens when a Mexican tycoon with shady connections begs her to locate his missing daughter.

Starting her search by interviewing the missing woman’s friends, Jessica wonders if she’s taken on a fool’s errand when her probing questions leave her beaten and drugged. And as the twisted trail leads from Boston to Central America, the stubborn sleuth fears reaching her quarry might only make things violently worse.

Hunted by dangerous thugs and her own demons, can this dealmaker-turned-detective survive long enough to at last find peace?

Tequila Midnight is a suspenseful work of women’s fiction. If you like haunted heroines, gritty determination, and terrifying twists, then you’ll adore Kathryn Dodson’s riveting tale of redemption.
