liberrydude's review against another edition
5.0
Ava is as formidable as ever in the ninth book in the series. We meet her in London for a fashion show in which her newly discovered fashion prodigy and talent Clark Po is making his debut. It goes fabulously, perhaps too fabulously, as they are invited to Milan to meet with one of the most powerful icons in the fashion industry-Dominic Ventola of VLG. VLG wants to buy or control Po and Ava and her partners aren't having it. Ventral is a bully who is used to getting his way and doesn't take kindly to being told no. He's rude and threatening and promises to make Ava pay for saying no. Thus begins the book. Ventola has no idea who he is dealing with and either does Ava. So starts a war that goes beyond brand trashing and slips into personal violence. Ventola and Ava finally come to the table to renegotiate in Macau. Lots of action and some personal changes for Ava as well. She is poised to visit the Philippines in book ten and also ready for a new love in her life.

As interesting as the other books in the series, but kind of an anticlimactic resolution to the central issue...
