PLOT OR PREMISE: An elite law firm in NYC has 12 full partners, nicknamed the Apostles, and various members wheel and deal with big business clients as an opening comes available. . WHAT I LIKED: The story has a very strong "Wall Street" feel to it, but the back and forth between two companies with their punches and counter-punches are fast-paced and real. Most stories in the genre have one or two "business" tricks, but this is much more complicated and relies less on a single tool to advance the plot. The story mixes experienced apostles, with participating associates gunning for a promotion, and even associates and junior partners slogging in the trenches. . WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The romance side of the story detracts from the business manoeuvres, as does the one-dimensional side of one of the business clients and their opposing counsel. In addition, there is some seriously flawed treatment of a sexual assault that shouldn't be anywhere in the story, it's completely superfluous to the outcome. . DISCLOSURE: I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow him on social media.

Anyone who is anyone in the lofty world of corporate law knows that the vacant senior partner's chair at the illustrious Manhattan firm of Nelson & Clark is the most fiercely coveted prize in the profession. Nelson & Clark is so awesome in its influence, so elite in its international prestige that its senior partners are known irreverently as "The Twelve Apostles." Beautiful Christina Giles wants the vacant Apostle's chair, and she has the legal prowess and political savvy the position demands. But first she must outwit a ruthless, Eurasian tycoon with a maniacal desire to possess her. He attempts to use her as a pawn in a dangerous corporate takeover which has the potential to destroy the greatest law firm in the world. And even if she can escape from his clutches, Christina must then defeat -- and maybe destroy -- her lover, brilliant fellow lawyer Dan Spencer, in a hard-core power struggle only one of them can survive.

But, there was too much legal technicalities towards the end, and some unconvincing characters, which made me enjoy it less than I would have liked. ( )
