I couldn't put this book down!
No one writes female characters better than Cynthia Victor! Liza, Page and Claire collide in an intriguing web of love, betrayal and revenge. Victor's style is crisp and riveting as she skillfully weaves sibling rivalry, parental guilt and abandonment issues with romance, sex, intrigue, and the world of international high finance. I love all of Cynthia Victor's books, but this one is my favorite!

compelling and fun
From the very first page, i was intrigued and engaged. I wanted to know what was going to happen to these characters. And the whole process of finding out was fun, exciting, and sexy. What a good story -- and told in a way that just keeps you involved at every page.

First Time Read Cynthia Victor
Consequences is the first book I've read by Cynthia Victor. Although this book started out fast at first, it slowed down to where it just seemed to drag on. It was one of those books that I could have read or left. It didn't impress me that much. I felt it skipped a lot of important information, such as Page and Simon's relationship. Who knows, maybe I was expecting more romance than this novel had to offer. All in all though I couldv'e left this book on the shelf.
