Rating: 5 out of 5

I received an author's review copy (ARC) in exchange for an honest review. This is a fast paced story that moves quickly, dialogue and situation driven. At first glance you are predicting murder, but no one dies, then sex crime, but no crime occurs, then extortion, but no extortion or blackmail occurs. Just when you think you've finally got the plot figured out, Ms. J, the author, throws one final twist into the story.There a number of different readings possible with this story. There's greed, exploitation, treachery and disappointment, making a strong case for honesty as the best possible policy to live one's life by.For others so inclined, there's admiration and respect for doing what you have to do in order to survive.Another read is to entertain oneself, for this is definitely an entertaining read, with the kind of action and excitement and drama that will raise anyone's blood pressure. Highly recommended for all three readers: the realist, the moralist, and of course, people like me, who simply enjoy an entertaining read.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofFive Short Stories: Journey of a Hero, True Love, Impossible Love, A Woman at War & Peace
