Wow, what a pleasant surprise!
I received an electronic copy of Dangerous Allies by Rickie Blair as part of a request for a review, and was delighted to discover that it was really enjoyable to read. Very suspenseful, very well-written, and kept me hurrying through pages.
Dangerous Allies is called a financial thriller. I was a little worried when I began that I might need a better understanding of how finance works in order to enjoy it. Readers, if you have such concerns, set them down! It was easily accessible to anyone who understands this much about high finance: People move money around on Wall Street.
It’s part of a series featuring our heroine, Ruby Delaney, AKA Ruby Danger, a fallen actor married to a financier. Like most of my own books, it can readily be described as “plot driven,” but I don’t believe most readers consider that a criticism. I think they like it — at least, this reader does.
There were a few tiny items that might pose obstacles for people who seek out books they can share with their parents without shame. But honestly they were quite small and done in a way that made it easy to accept them as part of the book. Overall, this did not rise to the level of being an issue.
I cared about the protagonist, I wanted her to succeed. I felt good about her successes. When she encountered failures, I hurried through pages to see whether and how she turned it around.
Overall, a really fun book. I recommend it without any reservations. If you like suspense, check out Dangerous Allies by Rickie Blair.
