Journey to Cash

By Ashley Bartlett

Cash Braddock | Book 4

Cash Braddock thought everything was great. Her drug business sold for a nice chunk. She’s opening an art gallery. And she’s finally free of the Sacramento Police Department.

But then the mother she hasn’t seen in twenty-three years knocks on her door, and Laurel Kallen, the ex-girlfriend who broke her heart, rolls into town. Oh, and Laurel has a message: Cash’s former business partner is back and wants to kill them both. Which is a real bummer.

Cash is no stranger to the consequences of her poor decisions, but this time everyone and everything she loves might pay the price.

Cash Braddock | Book 3

Amateur Sleuths

California

Cash Braddock is doing…okay. She sort of has a girlfriend, her business sucks less, and the cops are only picking her up for interrogations every other weekend. Mediocrity has underrated appeal. It’s fine.

The universities are back in session, which means drugs are in high demand. Cash is becoming more reluctant to sell, while Detective Laurel Kallen is on the trail of someone who’s been drugging and assaulting women at college parties. Cash’s and Laurel’s goals should be aligned, but neither is convinced of the ethics of her job anymore.

When Laurel’s younger sister is assaulted, okay stops being okay. If Cash wants to help the Kallen sisters, she must decide her own moral bounds.

Third in the Cash Braddock series.

There’s a new dealer on Cash’s turf. When kids start dying from the dealer’s pills, Detective Kallen turns to Cash for answers. Turns out her reputation for selling pills doesn’t make her an expert. It makes her a suspect. Cash preferred it when she knew which cops were bad and good.

Cash Braddock is a drug dealer. But the classy kind. Pills. She really doesn’t get why people are so uptight about that sort of thing. She has a decent operation, a little business to launder money through, and only a few Mommy issues.

Laurel Collins is the perfect girl for Cash. She wears vintage ties and is totally chill. She doesn’t mind the dealing or Cash’s cat. It’s almost like she’s Cash’s dream girl. Sometimes she’s a little closed off about, you know, life. But who isn’t?

Sadly, the drug game doesn’t always run smoothly. There are dealers who don’t respect boundaries and unreliable customers. And, of course, dealers don’t fly under the cops’ radar forever. Even when they work with dirty cops. Which is a damn shame. It’s not like they’re hurting anybody, right?

- An absolute winner!

- Journey to Cash marks the final installment of the Cash series by Ashley Bartlett. After four fantastic books, fans must now say goodbye to Cash and crew. This series is tons of fun to read; it’s witty, well-written and completely entertaining. With every book readers get great characters, fantastic dialogue, and well-plotted stories.
  
  Though the series has received high marks from reviewers, it hasn’t really been given a lot of hype, and that’s unfortunate. It’s probably one of the most engaging contemporary lesfic series to come along. This can be attributed to the main character; Cash is fantastic. One would describe her as complex, flawed and chuck full of contradictions. She’s an ex-drug dealer that lives by a strong code of conduct. She’s loyal, trustworthy and kind, yet some might say she’s a pain- in-the-ass. Either way, she’s extremely dynamic and completely captivating. Readers can’t help but find her appealing.
  
  The storytelling in Journey to Cash is wonderfully executed and picks up where Cash and the Sorority Girl left off. Though this latest book has its own plot, an understanding of the previous books’ storylines is necessary to fully appreciate this well-scribed narrative. That being said, Journey to Cash’s story arc flows quite beautifully and paces particularly well. The conclusion is without criticism and completely satisfactory. Readers get their happy moment, as Bartlett ends things nicely for Cash and Laurel.
  
  Final remarks…
  
  This is a well-written book. The dialogue is spectacular. It is banter-filled and entertainingly snarky. The characters are wonderfully developed and completely engaging. Though Cash and Laurel’s romance is certainly part of the story, it isn’t the only thing driving it forward. This story gets an added push from mysterious and intriguing happenings, giving it an undeniably appealing full-bodied flavor. My recommendation is to cash in on this Cash Braddock novel; it’s an absolute winner!
  
  Strengths…
  
  Engaging characters
  Intriguing plot
  Well-written dialogue
  Entertaining storytelling

- This is the first book I have read from this author. I can honestly say that it will not be my last. There were some really suspenseful and thrilling moments in this book as well as truly funny moments. Cash is a complex character with a few flaws and her chosen family is a mixture of old and young that I would love to hang out with too. The cat Nickel was a blast. Can't wait for the next installment of whatever journey Cash goes on.

- Journey To Cash is the final book in Ashley Bartlett’s Cash Braddock Series. I will miss the characters in this book - their witty banters, snarky remarks, and even their nonsense talking.
  ...
  It was a very good read and I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely recommending the book (and the whole series) to others.

- Cash Braddock is one of my favourite characters ever

- ...As I wrote in my review for one of the previous books in this series, I never thought I’d love a drug dealer so much. Cash Braddock is one of my favourite characters ever: she’s smart, funny, relatably flawed. She’s a survivor and an emotional coward (her words, not mine) but also unconsciously ready to grow, despite what she wants others to think. She’s more than willing to break rules and laws she believes are absurd or unfair but she has more morals than many people I know.
  
  Journey to Cash is fun and exhilarating and fast-paced, surprisingly so since the characters spend a lot of time waiting, but Bartlett keeps the rhythm up with banter and delightfully funny dialogues. And Cash isn’t the only fantastic character, they all are...
  
  Journey to Cash is a very enjoyable and fitting end to an excellent series. I’ll miss Cash and everyone, but I have faith in Bartlett to come up with more morally grey yet totally lovable characters.

- So good...I recommend going back and re-reading the earlier Cash books before this one. They’re all brilliant so you’ll enjoy them. Cash is fantastic and the sort of drug dealer I would have liked to be in my younger days, not that I ever aspired to me a drug dealer; and neither should you, it’s bad for you and other people. She’s so cool though. She’s definitely read (and understood) Judith Butler. Meanwhile her girlfriend sounds hot and kickass. Her friends are great. So is the cat. I basically like everything in this book. Mega.
