Synopsis

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. Their husbands worked with--and then brought down--El Chapo, as well as dozens of high-level members of the Mexican cartels. 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. They knew that life was about more than wealth; it was about love, family, and doing what's right. 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.

Sooo...I just couldn’t get past the limited view these women had on their lives. They felt that because they were good husbands and fathers and treated their employees well and were amazing businessmen, it was no big deal that they were major leaders in a drug cartel. Obviously that must change down......more

GLAMORIZING Their Lives They seem to think that their drug dealing husbands are heroes. They spend most of the book glorifying their lifestyle only to apologize for it in the last two pages. The wives try to make it seem like their children are the !pat important things to them, yet one ditched thei......more

Goodreads review by Marva on June 26, 2017

I fear for their lives 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 f......more
