This is the first book I have read by this author. Wow, what a first impression. I just loved the landscape and the characters. Which helped to really bring the story alive; especially Layla. Being a cartel queen is a tough job but I felt like she did a good job of finding the right balance of being tough but kind at the same time. As the story progressed Layla grew stronger and more fierce.
This story has plenty of action as well. In fact, this book is an action book that has good character dimension. I could picture this book being turned into a movie with Jennifer Garner starring as Layla. I think that Jennifer does embody the image of Layla very well.
Warning as the "f" word is used. However, it is not used crudely but to portray emotions and in the right context to help tell the story. Readers are in for a great ride full of action in Wheels Up.

A sizzling five-star thriller you won’t want to put down!
I recently did a Q&A with Jeanine, and besides the fact that she owns the most beautiful quaint bookstore I have ever seen, she writes exceptionally well. Despite not being the genre I usually read, the story gripped me from the get go, describing the drug cartel and Mexican culture in vivid detail. Jeanine keeps you guessing thought the entire book – I cannot wait to read more from this author – go check out her author page on Amazon for more books. Jeanine Kitchel

Magnificent story
Enter the life of the cartel, but it's not just about that, it's about survival and perseverance. The author brought this reader right in the middle of the story on a thrilling and intense ride. The author shows great knowledge of the setting of this book, as well as the rough and raw world she brings in this story. The characters have a lot of depth, and a grand sense of reality. Layla is part of the world, she is one powerful character, trying to make her way up to lead her family. It's filled with violence, drugs, and adventure, with adding the environment as another extraordinary character. Magnificently written. Couldn't put it down until the end!
