The prologue suggested ponygirl stuff. A little too detached from the action but pulled in. Then story, at least part 1, had nothing to do about that. Instead it turned into an auction story. Interesting enough idea, so I read.

The action seemed to detached. 'Stuff' happening in prologue, but more hinted at than anything else. Then the actual story started. Was interesting, quite. Action out of sight, but intriguing. But what ever excitement that could have been had seemed leached away by a newcomer to the scene who kept making loud comments to his friend.

Bah. I don't like Derek from this small slice, and not really like the husband character either. Their were some intriguing characters, like the CEO and wife, but they barely had part in this slice. ( )
