Summary: Exciting, Intense, Romantic...
Review: The story started off a little slow, however, as I continued reading the story sort of grew on me. Well, overall a good story with real substance. Great writing and story telling about a group of people that made money by acting out different con games. Dante, Pam, Big Slim, Scamz, Jackson, Robin and others played games with people lives and that is dangerous. I really do believe that Dante was looking for love in all the wrong places, Pam was to selfish to love anyone other than herself. Scamz forgot what love was long time ago when he sold his soul to the devil. Poor Jackson, a man without a country and Robin, again, looking for love in all the wrong places. EJD proved again to be in a class of its own by writing material that will live on... Great job Eric, and as always, I enjoyed this book and look forward to others.

Summary: EJD@ his BEST!!
Review: Thieves Paradise was no doubt a five plus! This story was full of action, drama and hot sizzling [scenes]! EJD sure does know how to create a sex scene. [Those] scenes are always THE BOMB! I thought I had this book figured out, but it ended in a totally different way. I can't choose any favorite characters with this story because I loved them all! Dante- main character that was constantly haunted by his past. Jackson - Dante's best friend. He got a whole lotta problems and often turns to Dante who is younger than him for advice. Robin- Jackson's girlfriend Sabrina - Jackson's baby momma Scamz- the one man that could get you out of trouble and in trouble at the same time. He was like God to some people...they looked up to him. The women worshipped the ground he walked on. Pam- the older woman that Dante fell in love with too fast. Sierra- One of Scamz's women (watch out for this lady) Arizona- One of Scamz's women (watch out for this lady) Big Slim- An old man with a nasty attitude who has a closet full of secrets. Nazario- Dante's worst enemy. (HATED HIM WITH A PASSION) My mouth flew open at some of the crimes they got away with in this book. Even though I knew they were doing wrong I was hoping they wouldn't get caught. The crimes they committ will have you sitting on the edge of your seat biting your nails. If you haven't read Thieves Paradise yet...what you waiting on?! It was SOOOOOOOOOO Good! Loved it from the first sentence to the last.

Summary: Great reading!
Review: This is the first time I've read any of Dickey's books and I am now hooked on his writing. He is able to draw you into his characters and you forget that you are actually reading. His words float off of the page. I appreciate how he connects the chapters so that you are constantly involved and eager to move forward. Great, easy reading for your summer vacation.

Summary: Desperate Souls
Review: This story is about Dante Black, a young 24 year old who is unemployed and needs money to pay his mounting bills. Its seems Dante does not want to fall back into his past crooked deeds. He meets Pam a "fine lady" who he wants to impress, but she too is looking for a way to make an extra buck. Along comes Scamz a flashy experienced con artist with expensive tastes from Dante's past. Together with Dante's long time friend Jackson, they enter into a deal with the devil.
I like the characters in this book but I felt that each had the potential to be more developed and more interesting. Mr Dickey did a good job writing about one of the subjects he touch on in this book, and that was the child support issue. It is a shame some women use this issue just to get back at the men for leaving them, and it is mostly the good men who are willing to support their children that are put through this shameful ordeal. Jackson is a good man who would not shy away from his responsibilities, but still sabrina his ex drags him into court. Robin, Jackson's current fiance is also feeling the pressure. She want to stick by her man through thick and thin but it is tough to deal with the baby momma drama, and not having enough money to pay the bills. All said, this story is about what people will do when they are in desperate times and their backs are against the wall.
