Heels of Fortune by Lynne Russell is the second book in the P.J Santini series. This book picks up where the last left off, but P.J. is going to find herself in a completely different mess.
P.J. has an uncanny ability to get herself in the middle of some pretty interesting and dangerous situations even when they aren’t her fault. Which makes for a great and entertaining experience with some laughs thrown in for giggle.
I have specific parts that I really enjoyed but they are part of the storyline and I refuse to give anything away. Though I will say that I laughed out loud during the meeting with Willy and I love P.J.’s family.
Looking forward to reading more by Ms. Russell in the future.

Heels of Fortune: PJ Santini Series: Book Two by Lynne Russell was an amazing read. I loved the first book, Hell on Heels, but Heels of Fortune is even better! It’s not often an author can exceed expectations of what they delivered with a first novel, but Lynne Russell has done that in spades!! The romantic suspense and mystery that unfolds in this novel was exquisitely thought out and portrayed. The sequences were not overdone and flowed seamlessly without effort. It worked in such a way that the words quickly fall off the pages into the readers mind to bring the story to life in a way that is magical in its own right.
PJ Santini is a strong character in this story/series and is still on the hunt for the truth. As we continue through this story with her, we follow with the emotional ride that shares many highs/lows and keeps providing those twists and turns. I cannot speak highly enough on how easy these stories are to read, but each book seems to exceed expectations which is a sign of a talented author!

I give Heels of Fortune: PJ Santini Series: Book Two by Lynne Russell, 5 stars.
PJ is back! On the heels of her previous adventure, she gets a phone call that is strange and worrisome. She is threatened and she doesn’t even understand why! Turns out that it may have to do with her deceased husband. But he was a good man, wasn’t he? Well, she may be wrong, and now her life is in danger. Can PJ, along with the help of her friends and family, get to the bottom of this? Without any more deaths?
I really enjoyed the first book in this series and was looking forward to see what the next one offered. Well this book is just as good as the first, if not better. There is everything you could wish for — murders, suspense, love of food and men, humor. PJ’s crazy family and her friends are all back for this adventure, too. The quirky characters are what really make these books so unforgettable. Then there is the story itself; people dying, a mysterious stranger threatening PJ. You will be kept guessing at what exactly is going on until the end.
If you are looking for a mystery with crazy Italian family, a main character obsessed with food, shoes, and men, and strange things going on, this book is definitely for you.

Heels of Fortune is the second book in the PJ Santini series. It can be read as a standalone.
As with the first story, it took a little bit for me to get into this book. The writing style takes a little getting used to. I also found that the extraneous side stories were a little distracting. Overall, I liked this book better than the first one. I felt like this book had more action that kept things a bit more interesting. The best character in this book is Nonna Giovanna. I laughed out loud at the part where they are describing her and the burglar. I also like the direction things are going with Daly; but of course, he’s my favorite over Renza.

Heels of Fortune: PJ Santini Series: Book Two by Lynne Russell is a great continuation to the series. I really enjoyed this series. This quick paced and fun suspense story is full of mystery and intrigue and is very entertaining. Lynne’s blending of humor and the unknown which sometimes has you on the edge of your seat. This book centres around PJ’s past and the loss of her husband but with knowledge comes danger and PJ will do whatever it takes to protect her loved ones. PJ is sassy, spunky and full of attitude and is a joy to read about and Danger is her middle name. PJ is someone who could have many stories about her and we would never tire of reading.
I look forward to reading more from Lynne Russell in the future.

Heels Of Fortune (PJ Santini Series Book 2) by Lynne Russell was a fast pace, super fun, twisty turning read, that had me hooked!
The second book in this series, and man oh man I am in love with everything about it. Reading like a standalone you can jump right in, if you haven’t read the first book, Hell on Heels. But I highly suggest you do, cause it just as good as this book, and just one hell of a time. P.J. is something I tell you, if you read the first book you know what I’m talking about, and this book only adds more layers to that wonderful savage character. Now add in another amazing plot, with mystery, sass, and a crazy yet wicket family dynamic, and you have a recipe for greatness.
Overall if you haven’t guessed, this book is a must read and a must in your life. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will no want to put this book, this series, down.

Heels Of Fortune is the second book in Lynne Russell’s PJ Santini series! In the first book we got a pretty good glimpse into PJ’s mind and I think it was a pretty fascinating and hilarious place to hang out at! You settle in and you do not want to leave! Who would when you can hang out with a strong and intelligent woman! She is both a private investigator and a TV reporter! AND she has an amazing shoe collection!!!! The second book takes us deep into PJ’s late husband’s shocking secret that puts her into danger! You try to read as fast as you can, flipping the pages, keeping your fingers crossed that PJ’s hot boss Tango will be able to keep her safe, wondering what the future will hold for her and whether she will end up being a dead girl in hot heels! Grab a bottle of wine and hide away with PJ!

I have read a couple of books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the second book in the PJ Santini series. You will have to read the first book in order to understand what is going on this book. I was so excited when I seen this book. I was hooked right from the beginning and I could not stop until the end. You will fall in love with these characters all over again. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.
PJ Santini is still trying to find out the truth about her ex husband. She then gets a phone call asking for some type of stone that this man thinks she has. PJ has no idea what he is talking about and she goes to her man Tango for help. They work together to figure out what her ex has gotten her into. They quickly realize that it is not good. PJ also needs some help from her family and friends. She is in danger and she doesn’t even know why. PJ starts to put the puzzle together and she may put others into danger as well. Will PJ be able to solve this mystery or will it be too dangerous?
I absolutely love this series. The storyline has it all romance, mystery, and some suspense. These characters take you into their own world. PJ is a very smart and independent woman. She loves her job but she also has a killer fashion sense. Tango is very supportive of PJ and her career. He wants to be the man in her life and he will do anything for her. This talented author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what will happen to these unforgettable characters. Review by @heatherbass View all my reviews

Ugh… I mean that in the loudest and meanest whiny, redheaded reader as possible lol… I didn’t want this book to end! I personally would read the first book in the series, Hell on Heels, before you dive into this one. Both are so fantastic so you won’t be disappointed that you did! PJ Santini is just one heck of a MC. She is what makes these books so darn phenomenal. I honestly want to be her, or at least know her. The way that Russell has written her Santini feels so very realistic. I swear I can picture her in my mind on the news one moment and and being the sassy detective the next. I can only hope that the next one will not be too far away…

Heels Of Fortune by Lynne Russell is the second book in the PJ Santini series. Personally I think you do need to read this series in order to fully appreciate how amazing it is. I also think you that these books are incredible enough for you to want to read them both. Is it is possible this book is even better than the first one. The MC just gets more entertaining and more interesting with each and every page. It is so easy to get such a good sense of what she is like, it is really almost like she is a real person. And boy is she someone I would want to meet and talk to!!! The author does such a great job at creating a story that has enough action to make it fast paced and intense while also knowing when to hold back and slow it down. This whole series has been amazing so far and I really cannot wait to see what comes next. This author has been firmly added to my must read list.

5 +++++++ Stars
I DID NOT WANT THIS BOOK TO END!! Seriously, I loved the first book and if it’s possible I loved this one even more. I think being inside of P.J.’s mind is one of the most fascinating and completely hilarious places to be. Her thought process cracked me up in most cases and I want to be her friend and I also want to order one Tango Daly please…***sigh***
This book was awesome, had everything I love in a book all tied up in one complete package, twists and turns from every direction and if there is one negative I can mention its that there isn’t another one waiting for me to jump into yet! 🙁 Stalking has already begun and I will be first in line when she continues this story.
I love that she throws in just enough of a flashback here and there and doesn’t spend too much time on it, its enough to give me what I crave and then transports me back to the present and I didn’t forget where I was..Not sure if that made sense but its awesome.
The family aspect of this story is also a favorite of mine in any book and OMG Nonna…loved loved loved her! I also hope Vicky is even more involved in coming books, she added another layer to the story that was simply spot on!
I can’t recommend reading this enough…I suppose you could read this as a stand alone although I can’t imagine not having read the first before sinking into this one. This author has become an absolute must read for me and this series will remain a favorite and I already can’t wait to reread. 🙂

Heels of Fortune is the second PJ Santini Series book. Lynne Russell has linked the two books together so you will have insight to what is going on. The story continues for PJ Santini and the mystery continues. PJ is a television news reporter by day and a private eye by night. She has family to assist her in her mysteries. Her husband was murdered in the first book and her investigation shocks her and brings to light conclusions that she may not be ready for. She will need help from people in her life: Vicki, Tango Daly, cousin Sandro, Nonna, and Tony. Will they be able to assist PJ or will she be stubborn and not accept help? What will the future hold for PJ and the rest of the gang?

Heels of Fortune in book 2 in the PJ Santini series by Lynne Russell. I liked this book better than the first, as the character development is done and we could focus on the story. It should be read following book 2, as it is the continuation picking up right where book one left off. PJ Santini is a private investigator, as well as a TV reporter, who just helped solve the murder of another local reporter. She has strong family ties and her family is very much Italian. She has a good solid network of family and friends that help her solve crimes as well as report them. In this book she has someone after her, and must uncover the truth about her dead husband in order to stay alive herself. This story is entertaining, as it has suspense, romance and comedy wrapped up in a perfect trifecta.

Heels of Fortune (PJ Santini Series Book 2) by Lynne Russell 5 out of 5 Heels of Fortune in the second book in the PJ Santini series written by Lynne Russell This is the kind of book that grabs your attention from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until you have finished the last page. This is fast-paced and will have you turning pages to find out what going to happen next. PJ Santini, is thirty-something and trying not to think about it, she’s a TV news reporter and marginally successful private eye, and on a wild ride between men, her certifiable Sicilian family, and insufficient funds notices. This time around PJ uncovers the shocking truth about her late husband, a secret that places her in grave danger. She is also in danger of placing her trust in the wrong man, danger of an actual terrifying end to her life. Fortunately, she’s armed with a good family, decent common sense, and a spectacular set of 38 DD’s. With bad people after her, she decides she wants to investigate this secret and get to the bottom of this with the help of her friends Tango Daly (a fellow reporter), her very best friend Vicki and her cousin San. Can PJ find the answers she is looking for before the bad guys get her? Will she like the answers? What was her husband’s secret? You will need to read this story/series…. This is a great read and I highly recommend it…. By Tracy @tracym

Heels of Fortune is the second PJ Santini book, it picks up where the first left off but with more spunk and attitude. This story answers some of the questions I had about the first one and I am more than happy with the result. PJ is definitely not a woman I would want to mess with especially when her family is involved. Since this story focuses so much on her past and her family, I couldn’t help but see her as a ruthless woman determined to protect those around her while she tries to solve the mystery that is chasing her. This book was just what I needed, a quick escape for a few hours.

HEELS OF FORTUNE is book two in the “PJ Santini Series” and I don’t think the author suffered a sophomore slump with this installment to the series.
PJ Santini is a feisty, independent woman who is multi-faceted. She is a news reporter and a private eye. She has a sense of style and a sense of humor. She’s someone I would totally want to be friends with if she were real and wore my shoe size.
The story is fast paced, has great supporting characters who help move the story along and maintains its quirkiness, even as the characters grow. There is a very clear beginning, middle, and end to the story and is well defined. The way it’s written holds the reader’s attention from beginning to end.
I recommend this story, this series and this author.

Heels of Fortune (PJ Santini Series Book 2) By Lynne Russell Rated 4 stars
This one is a quick read with all the amazing characters from Hell on Heels! Along with the added benefit of a few new colorful characters. This had me laughing and smiling while reading. In fact I didn’t put this down and read it in one fail swoop. I really enjoy reading about PJ’s antics and love her time with the men in her life. Not to mention her lovely parents and wonderful grandmother.
This is the second book In this series and honestly I can see it continuing for a while. Limited only to imagination. Well done and I look forward to more in this series. PS. That Daly is one H-O-T guy!

Heels of Fortune is the second book in the PJ Santini Series by Lynne Russell. It is a great second instalment and continues the adventures of PJ Santini. It’s a private eye mystery with a fast pace, danger, suspense, and that somewhat sarcastic sense of humour I loved from the first book. We met PJ Santini in the first book Hell On Heels- she’s a smart, independent, witty, stubborn, and inquisitive television news reporter who moonlights as a private eye. We follow her on her latest investigation as she uncovers some shocking details about her late husband- which brings much danger and threatens her life. As with the first book, there were edge of my seat moments, as well as some seriously funny scenes. I can’t wait to see what PJ gets up to next! A fun read!

Heels of Fortune by Lynne Russell is the second book in the PJ Santini series. This is a great continuation of the series. PJ is back in fine form. She has gotten information concerning her husband’s death and it is not good for her. The information has put her in danger. PJ is fantastic character that is easy to relate and fun and feisty. She gets herself in situations but is smart enough to figure out what needs to be done or to get help from PI Tango Daly. I really have enjoyed this series. It moves at a quick pace and is fun and with some suspense. I like the mix of humor and the characters all play a part in the story. I look forward to reading more from Lynne Russell in the future.

I just absolutely love PJ she is such an amazing character to read about! She is full of sass and is so feisty – she gets the job done and she won’t let anyone stand in her way! I loved seeing the characters from the first book back again to help PJ uncover the secrets of her late husband! The pace of the story was great and definitely had me hooked from beginning to end. Heels of Fortune was a fantastic 5 star read and I am really looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

Heels of Fortune: PJ Santini Series Book 2 by Lynne Russell. Let me start by saying I LOVE these books. They are the best books I’ve read in a long time. This book kinda picks up where Hell On Heels leaves off. PJ Santini is a “reporter” when she shows up to the newsroom and a private investigator. She loves high heels and her family and best friends. PJ is constantly getting into messes. Her husband dies on their honeymoon and she finds out he left her with a big secret that bad people don’t want her to have. She decides to try and solve this puzzle with the help of her friends Hot Tango Dly ( a fellow reporter) , her very best friend Vicki and her cousin Sandro. If they can’t solve this before the bad guys get to her she will be a dead girl in heels! This book sucks you in and you can’t turn the pages fast enough.

After reading the first book, I had decent expectations for the sequel. Lynne Russell didn’t disappoint and I was pretty well hooked from the first page. The plot was more evenly paced than the previous book and I didn’t feel like there were as many instances of “this was written for a male character and was switched at the last second” but there were a couple where I was thinking if the gratuitous description of PJ’s anatomy was entirely necessary. Tango was interesting but I just kept giggling at his name.
All in all, a definite improvement over the first book and I hope this series continues.

Heels of Fortune (PJ Santini Series, Book 2) by Lynne Russell 5 out of 5 Stars First of all, the first PJ Santini book was amazing. It was a one sit read for me. When this book became available, I jumped to one-click it. PJ Santini is a sassy, high-heel loving, novice gumshoe detective, PI and TV reporter. In this latest novel, PJ is investigating the case of her late husband, who she was married to for a very, very, very (you picking up what I’m laying down?) short period of time. Every new piece of information puts PJ in danger but with the help of super hot Tango Daly, her best friend Vicki and her cousin Sandro, she is determined to make it out on the other end of this alive. I loved this book as much as the first and I am so looking forward to what other mischief PJ gets herself into. Highly recommended!

Russell can’t just be good at the news…no of course not. She has to also be a powerhouse with a pen.
Our heroine, PJ Santini, is so incredibly well written, she feels like my best friend, or the version of myself I wish I had the guts to be. Sassy and snarky, everything is told as it is by our girl. This latest installment in the series is another fast paced escapade with suspense, humor, hi-jinx, and just plain fun.
I cannot say enough about this book, this series, this author. Hands down one of the best books I’ve had in my hands in a while. Loved it!

Lynne Russell wrote an amazing story Hell on Heels which is the first book in the PJ Santini Series. There is a creative way of writing a suspenseful and witty crime story. Her characters are fully developed and a blast to follow along in the story. PJ the main character is a sharp and down to earth. PJ has taken on a little more than being just a news reporter and found herself in over head in a mystery. You will be a on wild ride through the eyes of a reporter.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew me away. I love a good suspense romance but this talented author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of the PJ Santini series and what a great start to this series. I was hooked to these characters right from the start. I could not put this book down and I read it in only a day.
PJ Santini is a news reporter that is also a private eye. She loves her job but when one of her colleges go missing she is the one that has to solve the case. Pj finds herself working with a police detective trying to solve this mystery. She finds Daly very attractive but an overprotective friend of hers tries to keep her away from him. Pj and Daly start working the case together and they find out that things are not adding up right. She starts to feel another connection to Daly she has not had in years. They quickly realize that they have feelings for another. When Pj and Daly start to unravel some secrets it starts to get dangerous. Will Pj and Daly solve this mystery or will they find themselves in danger?
I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, suspense, and mystery. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters. Pj is a beautiful woman that loves her job and fashion. She is so intelligent but also stubborn. There are times that she made me laugh out loud. Daly is very handsome with a good head on his shoulders. He knows what he is doing. The way he treats Pj will melt your heart. This talented author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what will happen to these unforgettable characters next.

HEELS OF FORTUNE: PJ Santini Series: Book Two By: Lynne Russell 5 out of 5 stars
The story HEELS OF FORTUNE: PJ Santini Series: Book Two by Lynne Russell is a mystery book that I loved reading. It pulls you in right from the beginning and didn’t let me go until I had read the final page. It has action, danger, romance, and PJ Santini. PJ Santini is a strong, intelligent, independent, and beautiful woman. She is a private investigator and television news reporter. The only thing that is sharper than her skills in these areas is her collection of shoes. She is a shoe fashionista. She has those who help when needed. There is bestie Vicki, Tango Daly, and cousin Sandro. She has her Nonna, her Pop, and her brother, Tony. I enjoyed reading about all of these characters, many of which I remembered from reading the first story. A day with PJ Sanini is never dull and there are situations where you feel like time has sped up and been shot out of a gun. This story has PJ uncovering a shocking truth about her late husband. This has placed her in danger. Will Tango be able to protect PJ as he has before? What does the future hold for PJ Santini? Read this book to find out. There are times when I was turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. This story is best enjoyed with a large glass of wine and a bag of chocolates. Highly recommended reading.

This is the second book in this author’s series, I loved it just as much as the first. PJ doesn’t want much in life just to be loved, protected, feel fulfilled by her detective and reporting work. But when she finds out the true about her husband’s death, will it put her danger in more than one way? There are alot of great characters and supportive to PJ who still remains my favorite. They bring the story to life and kept me reading until the last page. A must read book and series.

Hell On Heels (PJ Santini Series Book One) by Lynne Russell
Four Stars
Janice is an interesting character. Her thoughts were chaotic. Sometimes during the read of would be so lost on what she was talking about. Inside her head is a place I never want to be. The wording was really different and made it a little hard to follow. There were some interesting parts throughout the story that did hold my attention. Her relationship with Daly for one was different and a little surprising. The author is new for me and I will have to give the next book a shot. Like it wasn’t my thing but it wasn’t bad. The plot was interesting because it’s a woman doing what we do best. Finding the answers to the craziest things. Janice was good at what she did even if done in a different way.

In this sequel to Hell On Heels: When is $6 Million not a gift? When it’s a curse.
Ask PJ Santini, private eye and TV news reporter. PJ thought she’d seen it all, but when her husband died in bed on their honeymoon, he left behind more unfinished business than the obvious! She has no way of knowing, as she draws closer to her nurturing but nutso Sicilian family, that she’s placing them in deadly jeopardy. Someone is prepared to kill for a treasure PJ holds in the palm of her hand… if only she knew what it was! Fortunately, she’s armed with decent common sense, a spectacular set of 38 DD’s, a retired cop for a father, a “connected” cousin, and a protective, smoldering PI boss. But will these be enough? Which one should she use first? As she learns the shocking truth about her late husband, she realizes she is the holder of a secret that could bring grave danger: danger of death by fettuccini Alfredo, danger of trusting the wrong man, danger of an actual terrifying end to her life. In case you’re picking up the Series with Book Two, you’ll want to know PJ Santini is a 30-something Buffalo, NY private eye/TV reporter with issues. She finally got married, and her husband died on her, literally, on the second day of her honeymoon. Short on money, she took her old TV news job back. She’s developed a weakness for dangerous men and 4” heels. Her Sicilian family – Ma, Pop, her lovable ADHD brother Tony, a cable guy who moves back home every time he breaks up with a girlfriend, and her grandmother, tiny but terrifying Nonna Giovanna – loves her to death. PJ’s old boyfriend, adorable and charismatic Johnny Renza, still knows how to hotwire her with food… in fact her butt is about to get its own zip code. Her hot, mysterious, resourceful, protective PI boss, Tango Daly is always first in her heart, but a heart – and certain other body parts – can get so confused…
