Listened to the audio of this installment. It was light and fun (though a bit unbelievable) and I enjoyed it.

4 STARSI am still enjoying reading this series. This is the second book of the series. It has a good mixture of action, mystery, humor, danger, good guys and bad guys. It even has a touch of paranormal.In Carrots Shelby got shot in the head during a bank robbery and it has left her being able to read minds. Shelby has worked with police and told Detective Dimples (Harris) that she sometimes sees things before they happen or in the past if she in room. She has helped in a few cases. On the other

Just finished listening to the audio version of this book.I like that the title of the book includes "A Shelby Nichols Adventure" which is exactly what this book is. Shelby is like Stephanie Plum and Lula rolled into one person. She bumbles her way through situations and has a handy flashlight stunner. Add the mom card, abductions, mind reading and a few people turning up dead and you have a great adventure.I will be looking for the first book and hope to see many more adventures with Shelby,

If I could i'd give more stars! Am loving this series and it's only the second book! I love the character Shelby and the trouble she finds herself in! I don't envy her husband but they seem good together :) tho am loving Ramos, and I'm hoping I see trouble ahead! Once again, no issues at all with the writing, very clear and easy to read, we're slowly learning about the characters, and uncle Joey is certainly and interesting character :) Loving Ramos and certainly Shelby.... Bring on the next adv...

Colleen Helme, you have another follower.Fast Money picks up where Carrots left off. Shelby finds herself dealing with the CIA, Ramos, the FBI, local police, Uncle Joey, five million dollars, a hired assassin, some Mexicans - drug cartel? police?, missing paintings - the list just goes on. With Chris being a little more understanding and her handy dandy stungun/flashlight easy to use, she thinks she may be okay. Funny how things get out of hand sometimes.The writing makes it so simple to fall in...

I wanted to listen to this story in one sitting. I listen while at work, and the work day just wasn't long enough. Seriously! Who says that?!? Lol. I just had to get through all the events to find out how it would all end. I had to know! Oh, how these events all string together and work out. I loved every minute of it! I was curious as to who was behind what and how. I got those answers and it slowly uncovered more and more of the underlining cause and how it's all tied together.Some great craft...

I enjoyed Fast Money as much as Carrots. I really love Shelby and Ramos and everyone else. I'm glad I stumbled over this series and I hope I will read a lot more about Shelby in the future.My full review can be found here (in german, sorry guys)

Very good mysteryShelby is still having trouble with blurring out responses when she heard a person's thoughts. I think that would be true for most people because it's just not normal to read minds so slipping up by not realizing something isn't said aloud would happen to anyone. However, Shelby has got to work on her abilities before they get her killed. I love how Helme writes Shelby and Chris as a couple. They have some bad moments but in the end they truly love one another. Uncle Joey is a f...

It has been so long since I've been this excited about a series;however, Colleen Helme has sparked my reading interest to the point I can safely say I believe that I've stumbled upon a new favorite series with the "Shelby Nichols Adventures."In the second installment, "Fast Money," Shelby is out shopping and stumbles upon a great pair of boots. So, she does what any self respecting shoe-aholic does and checks her bank balance only to discover that five million dollars is now sitting in the accou...

I absolutely loved reading "Fast Money" by Colleen Helme!!! I couldn't put it down! One of the reasons I love to read is so I can escape reality. I can definitely do that with the Shelby Nichols Series. I can't wait to see what kind of trouble Shelby gets into in the next book! The writing was supurb and easy to read. There is definitely a lot of voice in these books and I feel like I know Shelby. I love all the characters in this book. There were twists and turns and it kept me guessing till th...

I received this book for free from Audiobook Jukebox in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. My Initial Reaction... I beginning to understand what people like about cozy mysteries! I didn't actually know what they were before starting on this series, but I'm really enjoying my adventures with Shelby and Fast Money was another fun mystery to watch Shelby solve! The Narration... Wendy Tremont King is an okay narrator, but

"A trip to the mall gives Shelby the shock of her life when she finds an extra five million dollars in the bank account Uncle Joey set up for her. She thought he was out of her life for good, but with this fast money, she’s not so sure. Now she must decide if she will tell her husband the truth that she can still read people’s minds. Including his. How will he feel when he finds out she lied to him?When the Mexican Police tell her that Uncle Joey’s been kidnapped and look to her for the ransom,

Love itLove Shelby and all the other great characters. Love Colleens writing style. Its got to be really hard to pull off a story like this and yet have the story flow so well as if youre a natural. Theres a reason Colleen can do this and thats because she is a natural. A natural story teller. Anyone who hasnt read her books yet are really missing out! Love her!!!

I am enjoying this series. Shelby is a stay at home mum, who recently whilst shopping for carrots was caught amidst an armed robbery, in which she was injured and as a consequence following her recovery found that she could read minds. This series is an account of her escapades following this misadventure, including assisiting the mob, the police as well as balancing her relationship with her family with her new powers. This series remnds me of the Stephanie Plum series, just as much fun, light-...

This book was another great adventure which continues the story of Shelby Nichols, a married woman with two children and the ability to read minds. I loved the humor and laugh-out-loud moments almost as much as all the trouble Shelby gets into. Her relationship with her husband is on the line when she finds five million dollars in her bank account. She must decide how much to tell him, and how to handle Uncle Joey. I rate this book five stars because it kept my interest, was a real page-turner,

I love the series but wish Chris was more supportive.

Shelby thought things might quiet down now that Uncle Joey thinks she can't read minds any more, but when she went to dip into her account Uncle Joey had set up for her, she finds quite the surprise. A 5 million dollar surprise! She knows that Uncle Joey must have stashed it with her but she is not sure why, and right from the start it causes problems.Not only that but she had to tell her husband that she could still read minds but he takes it a bit better than she thought he would and knows it

I love that the heroine is a mom with a life well outside of her kids. She’s also quite happily married which is super unusual too. A couple of the bad guys curse but overall, not too bad language wise. She is funny and sarcastic and falls down a lot which I find endearing in a heroine. Start with the first book “Carrots”. This is the second. I’m currently reading the third.

This is the 2nd book in the Shelby Nichols Adventures that began with [Carrots]. The author lets her imagination fly and gets her heroine in and out of many absurd and fantastical situations for her local mob boss, while keeping her lawyer husband somewhat informed of the life and death happenings occurring around her.I enjoyed the escapism of the story but think her husband is an A class jerk. He supports her when it suits him otherwise he punishes her with his silences and grimaces.I could onl...

Shelby's husband Chris really annoys me. He needs to either get on board or not. He's hot, then he's cold, then he's hot, then he's cold. Dude, you either love her for better or worse or you don't. It isn't her fault she has the ability to read people's minds. Get over it. And yeah, I'll admit, I read ahead. I couldn't imagine that the same premise would be viable for that many books, so I cheated. I skipped to the last book in the series, and the way it ended... no. As another reviewer said, it...
