A high-powered finance executive with a dark past, she has experienced unspeakable loss at the hand of her abusive ex, Omar. She has healed from the trauma now and is ready to move on as one of the world’s richest women and settle back into her glamorous jet-setting lifestyle.
As Celeste sets out to plan her future, she realizes she cannot live the rest of her life in fear that Omar will strike again. She vows to get rid of him and anyone else who stands in the way of the happy ending she’s fighting for. Her plans become complicated after discovering that Omar has become an agent of the US government. When her friends approach her to finally join forces with them and rogue federal agents, she’s boxed into a corner.
Now Celeste is living with secrets so tortured that if discovered, they could destroy what she’s so carefully built. Will she be successful in making the world a safer place? Or will her appetite for vengeance jeopardize it all?
One (or more) Sentence Summary: I loved the first book in the series, Trading Secrets. So much so, that I have a list of "look for sequel" and was excited when I learned Risky Assets was available.
Risky Assets picks up where Trading Secrets left us all on cliff....dangling and wanting more. It is divided into two parts. I did find Part I to be a tad slow, however, it is needed to set us up for Part II. It is especially needed if you haven't read Trading Secrets (I highly recommend you read them in order). Once I hit Part II it was extremely hard to put down. I needed to find out who was behind the sabotage and questioning all the characters in my own mind had me turning page after page.
Very engaging, keeps you on your toes, great characters, lots of different travel scenes, tons of sex, and some revenge! Celeste is my favorite character as she is a strong, smart and driven female. I like how she brings back characters from Trading Secrets and keeps the story going. I can't wait for book 3, Blind Trust. I have a feeling it will be a page turner.
Rachel Eckles is an amazing author (love that she is from the midwest) with talent that grabs you, pulls you in to the book and you can't (don't want to) escape. She is a "must read one more chapter" type of author.
