Lemme tell at the outset that I am a sidney fan and have read all the books written by him. So I just hope the very few who read this review do not find it as biased towards the writer in general.
So wats the story about?
The basic plot is the same that sidney uses in his books. Female pushed to the corner by a handful of men.she comes out with a changed identity and takes the help of a male who is destined to be her lover ever after and takes revenge upon the ppl who crushed her.
Here the protagonist is tracy. A typical middle class american woman who loves a guy from the wealthier section of the society. Her main support in her life, her mom commits suicide bcos of financial difficulties and tracy finds out the reason for her death n tries to avenger her death. But her innocence and know nothing but work lifestyle lands her in jail bcos she places her trust in the wrong place and shes sent to jail with a baby with nobody to care for her including her lover.
The jail scenes r horrifying to an extent. Here we see the reincarnation of tracy as some1 bold and ready to face life. She gets a parole and this time plans her revenge and executes the plan neatly.
Then shes left with no work to do(her ex employees throw her out ). but help comes from unxpected quarters and she then uses her brain to come up in life though in an uncanny way.
The other protagonist is the hero, jeff. He is best at his work but has a new competition in tracy.
How they fight each other and in the end outsmart the others is the rest of the plot.
The best part of the book is when tracy meets jeff and how they try to outsmart the other.
The fast action and the use of brain more than fist makes the book and enjoyable read plus the usual steamy scenes thrown in between.
