Lola returns to her mother's house after a night of taking photographs of a client's husband suspected of infidelity only to discover her family in mourning. Surprise, surprise—Lola learns that she's the person who died. Since she's obviously alive but there is a body, who is the unfortunate victim? Private investigator Lola sets out to solve the case of identity theft and discover why someone might want to impersonate her while deciding what to do with Jack Callaghan, the sexy reporter whose very presence brings heat to the page.

HASTA LA VISTA, LOLA! is a sassy, spicy, fast-paced murder mystery. I loved the way the author incorporated the Spanish language throughout the story along with other culture details, imbuing the story with just the right touch of authentic Spanish flavor. I absolutely loved the relationship, both hot and sensual, between Lola and Jack. Although they weren't sure what to do with each other, I was sure these two were destined to be together, frustrated only by how long it was taking them to figure this out. Still, although Lola aces the identity theft investigation, I was encouraged that she and Jack don't quite find their way to a happy ending in this book because that means there has to be at least one more Lola Cruz mystery, a series too good to end.
