Summary

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE NEVER FREE.

Cain Moran wanted Jenny Riley more than he had ever wanted anyone or anything before in his life. But loving Jenny Riley was the easy part; it was telling his wife he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer...

Jenny is not just any girl. She cares nothing for Cain's hard-man reputation - she just wants to be with him.

But Cain is not a free man. And he's about to find out that when his wife Caroline said 'til death us do part, she meant it.

When Cain is sentenced to life in prison it seems that Caroline might have got her wish. All Cain and Jenny know is that if their love can survive such separation, then one day they will have a chance at the Good Life together again.

But there are greater trials ahead than either can foresee. They're about to learn the hardest lesson of all:

LIVE THE GOOD LIFE. PAY THE PRICE.

I bought this book as part of a 2 4 1 offer. My first experience of the author. The story was basic London gangster stuff. Okay but rather predictable. It could have been an engaging listen but the amount of swearing killed it for me. Prolific use of the "C" word. It didn't add anything at all and made me cringe. We know that gangsters are rough and tough - this was a lazy way of portraying that.
This author's not for me.

Way too much swearing.
