Glenda was able to mask her and Alonzo's scheme behind the Take Me Tonight enterprise. Did you ever suspect that they weren't connected?

I never suspected at all because Lucy had checked them out and they should have been able to unearth a discrepancy in the Snow Bunnies' so-called participation. This was a plot hole for me.

Considering that Lucy is supposed to be such an ace at her job, it was a huge plot hole!

Major plot hole, especially as it was developing. You only kind of see the connection looking back on the book, which was still weak for me. What hurt the potential of the book was the fact that it focused too much on the kidnapping rather than the characters.

That's a fair point, Quynh. Maybe that's why I got tired of the kidnapping stuff. And, by the time we get to the end, all the info about the characters are summarily dumped on us. I'd like to have been given a shot to deduce the motivations rather than be told.

Yes, that's exactly it! I want to make my own thoughts and ideas as the story goes forward rather than being told what I'm reading. I guess that's where the story missed the mark for me.

I gave it the extra star because I was really enjoying the book until the end. I also really liked Sage and Johnny individually. Their romance was okay but that's because for so much of it, Johnny was playing a role.

I completely missed the connection between Alonzo and Glenda. They seemed so incompatible, even as business partners, that I could not see them cooperating with any procedure for long.

Yukk...

I thought, from the beginning, that Take Me To Night had to be involved somehow. Turns out they were just had lousy web security and, I suspect, employees that were being paid on the side by Glenda and Alonzo. Some girls got the package deal straight and some got the extra. Glenda had a straight business arrangement with them and had the hack in to give her the information she needed.
