1: This adventure missed the boat
Pink Jinx, like Ms. Hill's other books, is crammed full of humor and wit. If you're looking for laughs Sandra Hill is a good choice.
I can't compliment this particular choice, though. Throughout PJ I was left with the feeling that the author was simply trying too hard. She seemed to rely on what worked in the past without trying to give this book, the first in a new series, it's own unique footprint. The book is full of the outrageous, the ridiculous, and Tante Lulu, who seemed incredibly out of place in this tale.
While Pink Jinx is amusing, it is not up to the standards of Ms. Hills other titles and does not leave me anxious to read the other books in the series. I'd like to see Tante Lulu sent back to the swamps and more of Ms. Hill's Cajuns and Vikings.
I vote to pass on this series.

2: Terrible
Unfortunately, I purchased all 3 books in the series on the strength of the reviews. What a disappointment. I've enjoyed other books by Sandra Hill, but these are just terrible. The story lines are weak, the characters are forgettable, and the humor just isn't there.

3: Pink Jinx
I was amazed at how fast my order came through. I had purchased several books, each with an estimated time of shipment. This book was listed as the last to be sent, yet it was the first one I received. Thank you for the quickness.

5: Pink Jinx
Veronica "Ronnie" Jinkowsky is a lawyer who's never had much contact with her grandfather, Frank Jinkowsky. Now, he's luring her to his treasure hunting business by telling her that he's broke. He's put his business, and his remaining property in her name, and he needs her help.
Jake Jensen is Ronnie's ex-husband, four times ex-husband. He's a professional poker player, and knows that he loves Ronnie, but they just can't seem to keep it together.
Frank, though, has come up with a plan. He wants Ronnie and Jake to help him on a treasure hunt for a Mafia widow's necklace full of pink diamonds, that was on a ship that sank some fifty years ago.
Once the two are on board ship together, they battle each other, plus two hunky admirers who would rather see Ronnie with them, then back with her ex-husband.
Pink Jinx contains Sandra Hill's patented brand of humor, which made me laugh in more than one place. I loved Ronnie and Jake's history, and the way it was woven into the story. Secondary characters, including Tante Lulu, Tee-John, and several Mafia goons add to the spice.
I've always loved Sandra Hill's romances, mixed with humor and love. Pink Jinx is a great start to a new series.
