DESCRIPTION:
They had everything money could buy - luxury cars, huge houses, and expensive jewelry - but they chose to give it all up when they cooperated with the US government. Their husbands worked with - and then brought down - El Chapo as well as dozens of high-level members of the Mexican cartels. Cartel Wives is a love story, a "married to the mob" story, an insider's look into the terrifying but high-flying empire of the new world of drugs, and, finally, the story of a major DEA and FBI operation.. An astonishing, revelatory, and redemptive memoir from two women who escaped the international drug trade, with never-before-revealed details about El Chapo, the Sinaloa Cartel, and the dangerous world of illicit drugs. Olivia and Mia Flores are married to the highest level drug traffickers ever to become US informants. They knew that life was about more than wealth; it was about love, family, and doing what's right
Recently bought this book after seeing an interview or the Recently bought this book for my kindle after seeing an interview of the authors on Fox. I liked the book so much that I bought it for my colleague. I feel like she could relate to some of the things on it. The book has a lot of ups and downs and it makes you feel like you know these girls and how they feel in some way. This was a well written memoir. It makes you appreciate a normal life and your family more..

I fear for their lives Marva Tutt The more and more I read, the more I feared for their lives. All the details, names, husbands becoming informants and they named all the players. Even if they changed the names, the drug game knows who they are. I really hope witness protection for them is good because I fear for their lives.
