Lady Eve's Last Con
Ratings3
Average rating4
Ruth Johnson and her sister Jules have been small-time hustlers on the interstellar cruise lines for years. But then Jules fell in love with one of their targets, Esteban Mendez-Yuki, sole heir to the family insurance fortune. Esteban seemed to love her too, until she told him who she really was, at which point he fled without a word.
Now Ruth is set on revenge: disguised as provincial debutante Evelyn Ojukwu and set for the swanky satellite New Monte, she’s going to make Esteban fall in love with her, then break his heart and take half his fortune. At least, that's the plan. But Ruth hadn't accounted for his older sister, Sol, a brilliant mind in a dashing suit... and much harder to fool.
Sol is hot on Ruth's tail, and as the two women learn each other’s tricks, Ruth must decide between going after the money and going after her heart.

This was my book recommended by a friend for this month. Now, has Sandy actually read this book? No. (At least, not last we talked about it.) But she heard about it from a friend and she thought I'd like and she's right!
Apparently I'm in my spacemance era, as this is my second (queer) spacemance book in a row! Ruthie is a space-faring con artist, and her newest mark is personal. She wants to get revenge on the man that broke her sister's heart. But of course nothing goes smoothly, and her mark's mysterious sister might be on to her....
This was a fun book, really mostly a thriller/heist story that happens to be set in space. Bonus points for the female focus (there are men, obviously, but all in minor roles). Almost through with this year - here's hoping that the book I've had on hold for MONTHS now comes through to be my December read! Then I'll be needing more recommendations!
