I enjoyed this book very much and am looking for one more that she has written but I donot know the name of it. I thought the book was exciting and interesting. It kept your attention so that you couldn't wait to read the finish.

I did not not find the book as bad as the other two reveiwers. If it is a period piece and written true to form, at the time the men wear, rakes, rouges, and scoundrels. Which this main character is. I did not have problems following the sub-plots and found this book lightly entertaining.

First of all, I think the writer attempted to create a scenario full of intrigue but failed miserably. There are too many unnecessary characters that the whole thing seemed messy and confusing. To make matters worse, their roles are overlapping one another so much that they actually obscure that of the main characters. In a story, the roles of other characters should be 'muted' or downplayed a little bit so as not to shadow the hero and heroin. And secondly, the hero is a stupid, aimless man, who :

1) seeks respectability by thinking of marrying a socialite (not very macho, I must say. Rather sissy of him)

2) Bedded the supposed-to-be mistress of his old-friend due to revenge. This friend supposedly murdered the hero's fiance. After all that, the hero eventually realised that he actually didn't love his fiance and she's better off dead anyway! (Whatta man!! Clap clap clap)

3) Can't really make up his mind about something.

And to think the heroine still wants him...jeez, way to go, sister!! How desperate are you, that you settle for much less??

All in all, I thank God I only BORROWED this book from a friend. Be warned, this book is DEFINITELY NOT worth your time and money.

Reid Sinclaire is a married man who's wanted for murdering his wife's lover. He sleeps with Samantha to get revenge on Cord Rydelle, the man he blames for his fiancee's death and who he believes is Samantha's lover. You think perhaps he's not good hero material for a romance novel? And I haven't even mentioned that he starts courting Samantha's silly sister Clarissa (not knowing they're sisters) with an eye to marrying her for respectability.

With such a hero, the last thing this book needs is a convoluted plot, full of so many subplots and backstory it's impossible to keep them all straight. I found myself skimming through most of this book, wishing I hadn't paid good money for it. The heroine, although she shows she has a good heart in sacrificing herself for her sister's happiness, seems to fall for men like Reid in spite of past experience; thus, I really could not like her very much either.

I'm not often so critical, but I feel cheated. I don't buy romances to read about lying, cheating men and the women they con into loving them.

I bought this book about 2 years ago when I was trying to learn programming by learning Pascal. It was not very user friendly and I did not find it too helpful. It was hard to understand. I can now program quite well in Pascal thanks to the assistance of other books. When I look at the book today, I can now understand it. However, as a novice programmer, it was very confusing.

Funny, honest-a quick read with wit, humor and insight

Holy smokes..what sort of a guy can write a book like this? I have never read such a boring work written by someone who appears to be such a pompous twit.

I normally enjoy self help books but i found this one to be a bit on the dictatorship side. It provided some helpful info but it's not very free thinking, which if what i look for in spiritual books. I suggest books by Shakti Gawain for that kind of free thinking.

A deeply disappointing book that is for the most part worthless. The core text is less than 200 pages of fairly large print, padded out with a glossary that defines such terms as "derivative", "equity" and "exchange". Except for the first chapter the book is an introduction to software and product management with little or no mention of its applications to financial operations. There is no mention of ATSs, ECNs, automated trading, let alone direct market access or algorithmic trading. Even basic topics such as straight-through processing are only talked about in the most cursory of fashion. I could not recommend this book to anyone.
