I found this short story as a free download. From the description, I was thinking it was going to be a mystery but it turned out to be more of a crime/sting story. There was a lot of sexual references but not a lot of actual sex. The main "bad guy" was a sleaze ball and therefore easy to dislike. Kris (the main character) was fairly manipulative and a little sleazy as well. She was perfectly willing to hook up with an old boyfriend even though she knew he had a new girlfriend. Also, she only helps catch the bad guy to get what she wants. So I can't say I really liked her.  I felt a lot of the sexual references were unnecessary to the story. It felt like they were thrown in to"spice up" a story that the author felt couldn't stand on its own. Finally I am getting bored with stories of all the bad boys and girls of Wall Street.I wouldn't say this story is a total loss though. I know their are readers out there that enjoy this type of story. It just didn't work for me. That happens sometimes when you try something new.
