review 1: DNF - I got about 30% of the way and gave upHad a good storyline but I'm not a big fan of multiple pov's. Generally I prefer a max of 2 pov - the heroine and the hero, but for some reason the pov for every character was In here, made it hard to loose myself in the book. It did give a lot more detail and info into the story, which is good. I hate not finishing a book and the reviews for this book made me crave to read it, but it just not my taste. Nothing against the book, I just didn't like the style of writing.
review 2: Janet Maple had just lost her boyfriend of five years and her job as an Assistant District Attorney’s office. Lisa, a childhood friend, got her a job as an Assistant General Counsel at her boyfriend Paul’s family investment firm. The chan... morege meant a large bump in her salary and less work. But she hadn’t been there very long before she began to have doubts about the company’s financial dealings.She tried to talk to Lisa, who was her boss, but Lisa’s personal life took priority. She was trying to land Paul so she could quit working and become a society matron.She keeps meeting Dean, who is ostensibly working in the IT department but, as we learned from his first appearance, is really working undercover for the US Government trying to unmask the company’s financial dealings.The villain was revealed quite early. Jon, Paul’s brother and the one running the company, only wants one thing: More. More money. More houses. More power. Fed up with his father’s philosophy, he had decided to cut corners and stretch the boundaries between legal and illegal actions. The TO CATCH A BAD GUY follows the steps taken by Janet and Dean as they work towards accomplishing their missions. That part of the story is fairly straight forward and obvious. Much of the story is, I hope, unrealistic and reads more like a fairy tale. Janet and Lisa are both highly educated women. Lisa is looking for a rich prince to carry her off so she doesn’t have to work any more. She assumes that Janet wants the same thing. Janet, however, is overly fixated on the way a man looks rather than on whether they would be compatible. I hope today’s young women are beyond that.There was too much repetition of Janet losing her previous job, Janet is too naive at times and Jon's wife is unreal.The book was a free Amazon download. less
