Publisher's summary

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.

Terrible narration

The overall story was interesting enough to get me through the first chapter in which the narrators butchered the name of one of the biggest and most well known cartel leaders in Mexico. The awful Spanish continued throughout the audiobook. It was pretty shocking considering the story largely takes place in Mexico.

Ego driven women who loved the life & are trying t

These women are trying to sell their side as do gooders. Its a shame they have children. Olivia (Valerie) was probably laughing describing what she wanted everyone to think happened. The other one seems normal ...I feel for them kids

Wild story but sugarcoated

I’ve read quite a bit about these men and from an overview, the general story seems on point. However, they are either delusional or deliberately neglect many of the atrocities carried out by, or at the direction of their husbands. As much as I want to see them as sympathetic characters, it is difficult. Overall, it IS a good narration of a fascinating story.

It’s a life they chose.

A tapestry of stories to gain sympathy and support for the criminal loves and lives they knowingly participated in.
