I'm giving four stars because this is the first volume in what I hope is a three volume story.  I am not a fan of stories broken down into volumes that could have just been one completed novel.  I do like the story of Alex and Jennifer.  Jennifer is a rare treat in fiction.  A woman who is educated, honest, strong, witty and quick minded.  She does not cower or whine or ruminate over every single thing that is thrown her way.  She has a painful past that definitely clouds her ability to make some decisions quickly but not enough to be frustrating to the reader.  She stands her ground in uncomfortable situations and her biting humor is priceless.  Alex is the alpha male without feeling like the typical fictional hero.  He isn't overly dominant.  He isn't too sensitive.  The author seems to have taken the time to understand how the other 1% live.  The women are vapid and the men egotistical.  Her knowledge of the business world is also good enough to allow the story to flow easily and give both characters more depth by showing their love for the work they do.  I really love that Jennifer is as knowledgeable about business as Alex is and she only just received her MBA.  Overall a good read.  A quick read.  I'm interested enough to have purchased volume two and pre ordered volume three.
