I loved this books twist. The title gives the reader the impression this books all about a man who's so rich he can get anything he wants with the snap of his finger, yet halfway into the book you find out what the meaning "Rich" really means. I love reading stories about strong independent women and this book definitely had that. The only thing I didn't like was the inconsistencies in the main characters.

First you have a woman (Celeste) who's learned to be independent since she was a teen and living in a foster home. She manages to get into college and become an attorney, yet she untimely meets and becomes entwined with a rich, controlling and manipulative man (Caspian) whom she married after college and divorced after he goes to prison. The details of her life during her marriage is never discussed in detail. All the reader knows is that he is a sort of collector and she was one of his prizes. Their were small things in this book that just didn't fit the puzzle, like what exactly he did that got him sent to prison and how she didn't testify against him even though she's a strong independent woman. No one knows when she got the divorce, but apparently she did and Caspian still considers her his property and thus the reason for the drama.

The man (Nartan) is a self made entrepreneur. He's a full blooded Apache who left the reservation with a close friend to find gold in Alaska. They were the laughing stock of the tribe for what they did until they found gold and became rich. They invest it and are now filthy rich men who own restaurants, spas, condo's, beach property, horses, manufacturing company, etc. Yet one part of this story doesn't fit right. If Nartan is so rich, so focused, so dedicated in his personal life, how is it that he's allowed himself and Celeste open to attack multiple times because of his lack of security in his life. That part doesn't fit.

One other thing....Who is this Master Lee or Marcus. You get some information about them, but not enough to really get to know the characters.....

The story over all was good, but I found this book had a lot of sexual parts that didn't add to the plot. This book was missing the details needed to make a reader feel a part of the story and feel invested in the characters. Even though I liked the story this book was missing a lot.
