Too Good To Be True

Everson Alexander was an extraordinary man who managed to raise two girls and, at the same time, build a multi-million dollar ad agency. He became a single father after his wife suddenly abandoned him when the girls were only six-months young. Auntie Millie - Everson's sister - immediately stepped in and became their surrogate mother. The first shoe drops when the twins, Milan and Paris, lose their father. Milan and Paris are thrust into continuing their father's legacy and faced with running the ad agency with little to no experience. The second shoe drops when, shortly after taking ownership of the agency, a disgruntled client shows up and causes chaos. The twins begin to realize this was only one of many more problems to come. They consult with their lawyer and aunt to try to figure a way out of their predicaments. Just when they reach their wit's end, another shoe drops...they lose one of their biggest clients and now have to figure out how to make payroll and not have to lay-off valuable employees. Suddenly, a knight in shining armor, named Sydney presents the twins with a deal that's hard to refuse. Or should they? It seems a Hispanic ad agency based in Dallas wants to give them the capital to stay afloat; however the agency does not want to consider it a merger or acquisition. The whole concept seems strange to everyone involved...except the person initiating the deal. THE OTHER SHOE DROPPED kept the shoes dropping left and right and just when you think Graham has run out of shoes, he drops an even larger pair. It is suspense and romance neatly tied together. Graham keeps you intrigued with the ongoing plot, although at some point I found it predictable. Nevertheless that didn't make it less enjoyable; it kept me reading to see if my prediction was actually right. Reviewed by Esther "Ess" Mays for Loose Leaves Book Review
