Money Devils 1 (Cartel, 8)

From the New York Times bestselling authors of The Cartel series comes a new chapter in a world that only Ashley and JaQuavis know how to bring to life.

The LaCroixs are four beautiful Haitian American women bound by money and blood. On the surface, the LaCroix Group is a venture capitalist company, but underneath, it’s so much more. The four sisters run long cons, targeting wealthy, prominent business figures. They have a system: Find the perfect mark, create the problem, then present the solution. For a cost…

Sutton “Sutty” LaCroix, the eldest sister and an accomplished business maven, sits on the family throne as the CEO of the LaCroix Group and is the face of their operation. No one is as good as Sutton when it comes to finding new prey.

However, when Sutton meets West, a young, black oil tycoon—a man who represents a life she and her sisters vowed never to live—she breaks all the rules. The LaCroix sisters have a pact: to never settle down and leave roots in one place. But Sutton falls in love with West's good looks, charm, and old money. This means that West is a problem. When he inducts her into a high society of opulence, power, and generational wealth, Sutton finds herself torn between the love of her life and the love of her family.

As much as I want it to be, this is not another installment of the Cartel series. In "MD1," we are introduced to the LaCroix sisters: Sutton, Honor, Luna, and Ashton. Their connection to the Cartel is intriguing, and while there will be some unexpected appearances from Cartel characters throughout the story, it’s important to note that this isn’t primarily their narrative. The LaCroix sisters are skilled con-artists, adept at flying under the radar of both law enforcement and their targets. Sutton, the eldest sibling, runs a burgeoning PR firm known for its controversial strategies. Her company specializes in orchestrating scandals that create problems for high-profile clients—problems that need deft, strategic solutions. This is how the sisters find themselves entangled with West and August Sinclair, two charismatic business moguls. Well West is more of a business mogul; August is more of a nepo baby. Although the Sinclairs typically adhere to a strict personal code of not mixing business with pleasure, both Honor and Sutton find themselves breaking that rule as they unwittingly develop feelings for their targets. The dynamics between the sisters, along with their interactions with the Sinclairs, can sometimes feel tangled and complex, as we are still carving out their identities in this new environment. As the story unfolds, the plot is full of unexpected twists and high-stakes drama, which is executed with considerably more finesse than in the last two novels of the Cartel series. This fresh approach adds depth to the narrative and keeps readers on the edge of their seats as they follow these cunning sisters on their thrilling escapades.

This was a good introduction to the Lacroix sisters. I like how it tied into the cartel series, I wish it was a part 2. Bc it left a lot of unanswered questions and a good story line.
