Reviews

[Eden Hardy · Rating 3 out of 5]

As a person with absolutely no interest in the financial or business world, I found the overall story exciting but difficulty in understanding some terms used. Its explained throughout the dialogue though and I'm happy to say I now understand the purpose of offshore bank accounts and trustees. That being said, there were a few chapters I found quite boring but overall it was a good read.

Content Advisory: Sex scenes, Swearing

I would recommend to a mature audience or ones with an passion for business negotiations.
