Not that I didn't really like it, but I don't fully like it either, so I'm giving it 1.5 stars. There was clearly a good story in this book - the merging and the intersecting of the different worlds of men: corporate America, the Mafia, the underworld, the elite; and how the people in and around these worlds are affected by the movements and actions of the one who dominates (man or woman).
It was good enough for one to be held in his seat and see how everything will end. However, there were a lot of flaws in the writing. So many phrases were peppered with a not-so-clever play with words: sentences repeated not twice but probably 5 times (the author can't over-stress a point hard enough); the number 6 turning up a number of times as a number and not a word, albeit insignificantly in my opinion ("6 guards holding the 6 AK47 assault rifles..."). Lots of grammatical errors and misspellings (fate was most of the time misspelled as faith). Finally, how can one miscalculate a date that's just a week apart (p. 167 - "Wednesday the 19th of February and today was Wednesday the 25th of February)!
These flaws won't just give an editor lots of work to do, but since no chapter is freed from it, it becomes a pain to the reader, clouding what could have probably been a good read.

I get the honor of being the first reviewer of this damn good book.
For a freshman effort, a first book, this is DAMN Good! It has a few minor problems, mostly these can be corrected with good editing (I didn’t make notes, so I cannot give specific examples – but I did see a few basic syntax errors and typos (usually just a missing word, like the or something). There are not many of these – I am anal so most people probably wouldn’t notice.
I do have a problem with most of the female characters, but as the focus is on alpha-males and the characterizations of said females are not unrealistic I will give this aspect of the story a pass. I prefer strong females – those that roll over and let people and things dominate them kind of turn me off. Give me a kick-ass woman or a lady with spirit and I am all in – give me a wish-washy doormat and I could not care less - most of the time anyway
So this one gets a 4.
