Cara Michal has had to fight every step of the way to earn her place in the glittering seven-figure world of Wall Street. Years ago her hardworking father, a small-time investment adviser, was wrongfully accused of fraud. Now Cara is at the top of her game, supporting not only herself but her mother and brother. The occasional night out dancing soothes Cara's soul, even as a bitter need for revenge against the man who destroyed her father makes inner peace elusive.

3.5 Cocktails

I liked the story. You don't see many romance storylines that deal with Wall Street, so I was all over this one. I liked Cara and Brendan and how their relationship progressed. Even the suspense portion of the storyline kept me intrigued and I never saw the villain until he was revealed. What made this a 3.5 cocktails read was how the book ended. Cara and Brendan had a bit of emotional baggage fallout to deal with at the end and it just seemed to fall by the wayside and everything was fine when they finally get to take their vacation. They didn't talk about what happened, her distance or anything. Just go away, have sex and magically everything was better.

I haven't read a Virna DePaul book before, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for more. Even though I didn't like the ending, the majority of this book was enjoyable and kept me entertained. For me, that means I'll be looking forward to seeing what the author has in the future.
