Product Description
Summoned under mysterious circumstances to meet Jake Lawrence, one of the world’s richest entrepreneurs, Angela Day may be on the threshold of a brighter future. The reclusive multibillionaire is planning a takeover of a hot, new company—and he wants Angela to apply her considerable skills in banking to make sure it all goes smoothly . . . and secretly. In exchange, Lawrence promises to use his formidable influence to permanently reunite Angela with her son, whom she lost in a custody battle to her adulterous, connected ex-husband. It’s the one reward for which Angela would risk everything. But with enormous wealth and power comes the ultimate price tag. For enemies everywhere have marked the man for death. And anyone close to him—namely, Angela Day—is fair game.

Weak Unrealistic Plot
3 May 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Story starts off well enough as two inseparable girl friends attend a Carolina college fraternity party that goes bad. One of them, naturally the one who was reluctant to go the party ends up being attacked by drunken brothers and as she tries to save herself she falls out a window and dies. Believe me these nine pages are gripping. It's straight downhill from there. The author seems totally fixated thruout the rest of the book in totally unbelievable characters. There seem to be racists and bigots absolutely everywhere. This was really a painful read to get thru.

Snort!
1 April 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
They snort, they scream, they roll their eyes. Experienced readers will recognize that any of those things are a bad sign. Here we have all three, sort of like a bad day at the bull paddock. Eventually I simply lost interest but my impression is that top level bankers are prepared to kill, die, and otherwise go crazy for? You guessed it, mortgage descrimination by evil white guys!!! Oh, and they all seem to gulp bar wine. And the heroine is a brave, intrepid bank executive who is afraid to fly. And the hero? Well, it would be unfair to those of you who might like this book. Actually for aficiandos of bad writing who are willing to spend an hour skim reading it is not a bad deal.

the pages drip with 2nd rate sex
27 Dec 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The prose here is increadibly choppy. It breaks and starts like a second graders first story. In many ways this is some of the worst writing that I have encountered in some time. One of the other reviewers here said that "the first nine pages were gripping and that its all down-hill from there." But I disagree. I think that from the outset, the plot is tortured in its absurdity. The death that Angela witnesses is contrived and sets up a very idiotic racism bent that seems to prevail throughout this book. I think that if you are going to touch on a subject like racism these days you are going to have to treat it with a little more respect than as a 3rd rate plot device.
Beyond the campy racisim, you have strong figures that are as 2 dimensional as can be. I mean, these figures here are straight out of every bad book you have ever read. It is like the author has combed old books and bad movies searching for the prototypical bad guy.
Avoid this book like the plauge. It is very very bad.
