This
review is from: asap --as soon as possible-- (Kindle Edition)
This novel reminded me a little of the Women's Murder Club Series, except
there was no murder...LOL The reason was because there are three female friends
who are extremely close and involved in each other's lives, so that when one has
a problem, they all get involved...ASAP is more business-oriented,
focusing on three dynamic, successful women, who have each made it--an author, a
designer and the main character in this book, an expert and owner of a
computer-design company. The primary emphasis was on the effect of her
professional role on Suzanne Moss's personal life. For me, this was an issue
about which I had to think, "been there" and had discussed it with other women
and in professional associations, for decades. However, for women who are just
entering the business world, it can be a startling picture of the
reality!Let me just say that the story rings absolutely for what happens
to Suzanne's life, so if that is a subject that concerns you, this may be a
must-read for you.I'm going to look instead at the very real issue that
Suzanne faced professionally! She and her best friend, Brad had co-founded a
company that quickly became successful. That was based not only on the product,
but also on the individual talents of both Brad and Suzanne.Suzanne
handled almost all of the administrative duties. As those of us who have worked
in that area, the time involved is rarely understood by those not having to
perform the activities! Thus, she was working more and more overtime and her
husband was getting more and more aggressive in his criticism of time away from
home and the kids...As well as the time spent by Brad...who handled the
PR, marketing and other technical issues... Two different uses of time--no
matter what, Suzanne would always be much more inundated,
time-wise...This company has an important goal of working to provide
home-health care equipment, especially for those who are on continuous
medication, such as for diabetes. Then, a brilliant young student had been
discovered that could potentially upgrade/enhance this activity to a level that
would be worth billions if successful.But Suzanne was contacted by a
man, who she felt she could trust, and told that her company was on a list that
was "out" for those items that were to be acquired for sale on the black market!
Brad had normally taken care of security issues and Suzanne realized that she
had not really taken the issue as importantly as it should have been. Now, it
was too late, the company had apparently already been hacked and important
documentation stolen.For the first time, Suzanne realized that she
shouldn't, couldn't trust anybody!She did have to trust Brad, though,
because he was the only one that could help improve the situation. What she
discovered, however, was that there was much in Brad's background that she was
not aware of. And what might happen could be not only dangerous, but could cost
them their company, if not their lives!And those involved in this plan
wanted her involved... She had to secretly travel to Macau without letting
anybody, including her family, know where she was... Only to be caught in the
middle of gunfire on the main streets there! Did they bring her here to kill? To
ransom for the prototypes?The womens' issues of being in business are
important for those working, especially in male-dominated fields. I especially
enjoyed the chase, the mystery of who could have betrayed their company and the
reality of who did! Nothing that was unpredictable here...but still a good solid
story that is worth your time! Check it out!GABixlerReviews
