Rachael Eckles' Trading Secrets is a well-written book that combines thriller, mystery, and romance genres. I was engaged throughout and definitely got caught up in the what-the-heck-happened and who-did-it questions. Here is the back cover synopsis:
Celeste Donovan, a high-powered finance executive, seems to have it all - the penthouse apartment, the supermodel physique with a mathematician mind, and a trail of beautiful men she has loved and left behind. But when her boyfriend Theodore is killed in a mysterious accident, she discovers Omar, her abusive ex she had hoped would never resurface, is behind his death. Now she's caught in a game of cat and mouse, trying to anticipate Omar's next move, as she realizes he will stop at nothing to get to her. She sets out alone on a whirlwind journey to entrap him, determined to put an end to Omar's destruction.
I appreciated that Rachael's protagonist is a powerful woman who can be both powerful and a woman at the same time. Too often, those don't go together. And I definitely liked guessing wrong on a couple of occasions. It made the book so much more fun to read. Bring on #2!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the review.
