Cleo is running again from the faceless enemies of her past and she is determined to know who it is. The glamourous Justine Holmes becomes Shanna Nu. A moppy-headed plain-Jane searching for work in San Francisco. She lands a job at La Tige Detective Agency and uses the resources available to her to seek her enemies but instead finds the key to her heart. La Tige is a hard-edged detective. He’s sloppy, crude and lacks in social graces but has a heart of gold. A familial bond forms between them as he shows her the affection and love she’s so desperately sought. He also provides clues to the mystery surrounding her birth and biological family. Danger lurks and every answered question leads to another unanswered one, leading her towards the dangerous truth...

Review

"Readers following this series will enjoy the ride as new dimensions of the story are revealed as well as witnessing Cleo's evolving maturity. She still may not know her legal identity but she is beginning nonetheless to know exactly who and what she is, a discovery that everyone must encounter sooner or later."Marcha Fox Author of the Star Trails Tetralogy"This series has kept me on the edge of my seat and I am dying to find out the answers that Cleo is searching for."SBM Book Obsession"The friendships that are built in the characters are so heart-touching and real. Elle Klass knows how to write one heck of story that keeps me waiting patiently again, for more suspense and mystery."Stacie Double Decker Books

5.0 out of 5 stars A fast-moving drama of life on the run!
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2014

Street-wise and on the run since the age of 12, trying to remain in stealth mode as she crisscrosses continents, she finds herself in yet another strange environment, but through the help of a “street” friend, she’s “legal” and lethal, when needed. Current name is subject to change, due to unforeseen events. That’s the story world author Elle Klass thrusts her readers into.

The author gives readers a fast-moving story of life on the run with her Baby Girl series. Klass provides twists and turns in her plot, and doesn’t hesitate to load her story with conflict and challenges for her mysterious protagonist.

As a reader, I found it interesting how Klass puts her main character through a variety of roles that most people couldn’t fathom, and yet there is that consistent thread of believability woven throughout.

In many respects, Klass’s Baby Girl series reminds me of the long-lasting popular TV series, The Fugitive, by Roy Huggins. Baby Girl is a suspense-filled depiction of the “hunted on the hunt.” And Baby Girl is current day, real time, back to back, clock-ticking excitement, and made significantly different with Klass’s female protagonist. Baby Girl is a read that will whet your appetite for more of the series.

Baby Girl is a series worthy of Five Gold Stars shining in the light of day. But as readers, we’ll have to wait for Klass to bring from the shadows of the street the conclusion. Author’s choice; we’re waiting Ms. Klass!

In this third installment of the Baby Girl series, our young heroine leaves her privileged status as Didier's fiance and her identity as Justine behind in Paris. She changes her appearance yet again and takes on the name of Shanna Nu. Shanna eventually makes her way to San Francisco and lands a job working for a private detective who mentors her by teaching the young woman a range of important skills (including driving vehicles and investigating crime patterns). While working for Jim, she uncovers a number of interesting forensic facts about people who are linked to her past. In this way, Shanna discovers more about her birth mother and an important connection in NYC by the name of Briggs. I'm hooked on the story.

This review addresses the first three books in the Baby Girl series, which to this point includes Book 1, In the Beginning - Book 2, Moonlighting in Paris - Book 3, City by the Bay.

The story surrounds the trials and adventures of a girl, seemingly born into poverty to a drug addicted mother. Finding herself completely alone, and unaware of her mother’s death, the girl heads out into the world on her own. The story moves along through her subsisting on dumpster trash and living under a bridge to a life of luxury in Paris and beyond. In the interim, the protagonist creates life long friendships, lives life on the run, falls in love, experiences great highs and lows, successes and devastating loss … as she delves into her past.

There are some incredibly fortuitous coincidences that will force the reader to stretch the imagination, but hey … this is fiction, not real life. Ergo … fun. I don’t believe you’ll be able to simply read Book 1. You’ll find yourself sucked in and rooting for the character. Enjoyed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Through The Golden Gate?
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2014
Baby Girl Book 3 by Elle Klass is the third installment of the author's Baby Girl series, following the exploits of the heroine as she continues in search of her family roots and sense of identity. We rejoin Cleo as she sheds her alter ego, Justine Holmes, in leaving France and returning to the USA. A stopover in Allentown to visit her surrogate mom's own mother puts her back on the trail of Frank Tomey, the man suspected of killing her soulmate Einstein. Her next move hooks her up with a San Francisco detective in using his resources to continue her search. Jim La Tige is a stereotypical private dick with a heart of gold, and he becomes another mentor as she continues her quest while meeting new friends and a heartthrob along the way.

The author demonstrates adeptness in taking us through the series without a hitch, allowing the novella to pick us up where its predecessor left off without leaving the first-time reader in the lurch. There's more than enough here to captivate the new reader without losing pace in tedious flashbacks - in fact, there aren't any. Another unique detail of note is how the trilogy takes us through completely different scenarios and lifestyles - from a hobo child crossing America in Book One, to a social impostor in Book Two, to a neophyte investigator in Book Three. The search for identity is the silver thread that binds all three stories together, and publishing them in novella form doesn't give us more than we can digest in one sitting. If ever an indie author understood the nuances of the fiction series, Elle Klass has it nailed.

For coming-of-age enthusiasts, young adult readers and anyone looking for an engrossing series to settle into, Baby Girl Book 3 by Elle Klass is where you'll want to start before leisurely working your way backwards.

3.0 out of 5 stars And the Search Continues.
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2015
“Baby Girl Book 3: City by the Bay” by Elle Klass follows Cleo, also known as Justine Holmes, to San Francisco. She followed clues hinting that the woman who took care of her had been her kidnapper. Cleo began working for a private investigator so she’d have access to information difficult to access otherwise. She is determined to find out who her biological parents are and why her kidnapper wrote that she tried to protect her.
Although the narration spent more time telling than showing the action, the story held my interest to the end. I am curious what happens to her in the next book in the series.
