This amusing story covers insider trading, espionage, and the business world's hidden social scene and is home in time for tea. After an important business meeting, Kris Storm strikes up a relationship with Wall Street playboy Ivan MacTavish, but soon afterward has the opportunity to get something she wants by helping the FBI to expose Ivan's corrupt business dealings.Kris's world is an interesting place to be. The story takes us through her meetings with coworkers, an ex-boyfriend in business, and Ivan himself; through Central Park, to a corporate party, and onto the private plane where Ivan tries to seduce her while his assistant turns a blind eye. Kris navigates these fields expertly and we get the impression that this is all in a day's work.Kris is the perfect protagonist for this story. She's independent, but she doesn't fall into the "don't need no man" camp, nor is she "not like other girls." She can hold her own in her demanding environment, and although she is rendered indecisive at times, she commits to her decisions and comes out no worse for the wear.A well-written light read.
