Rating:  Summary: Entertaining, predictable & silly Review: One of the wealthiest men in the world has a job opening. He needs a smart, athletic, beautiful woman who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. How very original? He finds a woman who fills the bill and more.
Silent Partner is entertaining, but like a fairy tale that you have heard several dozen times, it is also predictable. I enjoyed the easy plot, even though it was silly.
This is a commuter book. Little concentration is required to follow the plot. At the end of the tale you will have been entertained and will chuckle to yourself when you remember that I warned you that Silent Partner is predictable and silly.
Three stars and no more.
Rating:  Summary: Somewhat Beleivable Review: Poor little rich girl meets the richest man,at least in the USA. Lots of intrigue if you can believe it. Some very good twists and turns that keep you reading. I have enjoyed all his books but this one is just not my cup of tea. I will try others though as all good authors sometimes hit you with one that just isn't right for you.

Rating:  Summary: 4 1/2 stars Review: See book summary above.As usual, I can count on Stephen Frey to write an entertaining and gripping novel. With his past in the field of investing, Mr. Frey knows of what he writes. Filled with some twists and some turns, this some time intricately plotted novel will give the reader alot of enjoyment. Recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Snore! Review: This book is definitely not his best. After reading The Take Over and Inner Sanctum, I expected much better. The story was just too predictable and not a very good read.

Rating:  Summary: Bit Far Fetched but Entertaining None the Less Review: This is an interesting storyline that keeps you addicted enough that you want to keep turning the pages until the end. The story is a little bit unrealistic in some parts but most stories are, and Silent Partner is still a good enjoyable read.
Angela Day who witnessed her best friend racially abused and murdered by a bunch of white redneck fraternity boys has never quite gotten over her friend's death. Since then her father has died and she has lost custody of her son whose rich grandfather bribed others to slander her at the trial as he did not like her trailer park heritage. One day she is summoned to meet with one of the richest and most powerful men in the world, who has a business proposal for her which if she accepts will also help gain her back son. It is a deadly game, the bank which employs her is paranoid they are going to be taken over and their board sacked. Racist banking policies are also in jeopardy if she is successful and many will kill to prevent that from happening.
Rating:  Summary: If you like financial thrillers, this one is fabulous! Review: This was a fast read and a definite page turner with lots of twists and turns. It took me a while to put the prologue into perspective with the rest of the story, but the pieces all fit in the end. The ending was good, although it left me wanting more - a sign of a great book, in my opinion. I wasn't ready to let go of the key characters. I can't say much more without revealing pieces of the puzzle, except ENJOY!
