Boy oh boy. Corny, Boring, Predictable, and Uninteresting. I had A LOT of issues with this book.1. Plot. It appeared somewhere at the end of the book (at about 70%) although it had been lurking its head around since the beginning. In any case, the plot felt quite recycled. The worst part is that it...
This is the second book in the Splendid Series. I have already read the first book in the series and this book makes Alex Ridgley, the hero in Splendid #1, a not-so-good businessman.
