What's It About?
Stone Barrington learns that privacy is hard to come by when you’re one of the rich and mighty. As an eligible bachelor, man-about-town, and mover in the highest social echelons, Stone Barrington has always been the subject of interest and gossip. But when he’s unwittingly thrust into the limelight, he finds himself scrambling to take cover. Before too long Stone’s fending off pesky nuisances left and right, and making personal arrangements so surreptitiously it would take a covert operative to unearth them. Unfortunately, Stone soon discovers that these efforts only increase the persistence of the most troublesome pests . . . and when he runs afoul of a particularly tenacious lady, he’ll be struggling to protect not just his reputation, but his life.
What Did I Think?
Mr. Woods is getting back to portraying Stone Barrington as a rich and powerful slut. It wasn't as bad as it was in past books a year or so ago but the sex scenes...of which there were many... were WAY too much information and added nothing to the what was otherwise a good story.
The one true thing I can say from the beginning about this series is that you never have to wait for the bad guy or woman to get what they have coming to them. You can count on justice being dished out on a regular basis allowing you to go on to learn what they'll come up with next to take advantage of Stone Barrington or his friends/clients.
These books are always fast paced and the characters are for the most part likable. Just suspend your disbelieve that nobody...at least nobody that I'm acquainted with...live like these people...shop the pricey boutiques of New York and Europe or write million dollar checks on a daily basis. Not the best book in the series but by no means was it the worse.
