Still, I find Ben very admirable for taking sex safe practices seriously. <br /><br />Though I'm bummed to hear that Ben doesn't get his HEA, I think I will still be reading this one. Maybe the sequel will have better things for him. :)Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-81537145216853118302011-06-28T15:23:44.207-06:002011-06-28T15:23:44.207-06:00While books about financial crises, fictional or n...While books about financial crises, fictional or not, do not ordinarily tempt me, your enthusiastic review has nudged towards considering this book.

It's great to hear that the author has depicted that period so vividly.Like the main character, I have limited information about the world of finances. Still, I want to read this book since you say that it's " Historical fiction at its finest".
