4 Cups - An Outstanding Great Read
“Breach of Trust is story of business deals, trust, betrayal, and love. From the beginning you are pulled in by the tension and chemistry between Phillipe and Anne, and kept turning the pages as things start to heat up between these two. There is never a dull moment, and there are lots of twists and turns that keep the reader really enthused. Hot steamy love scenes only compliment this story like whipped cream on apple pie. An exceptional read.”

“Breach of Trust took off like a rocket ship. I thoroughly enjoyed this introduction to Ms. Chin’s writing. This book was suspenseful, passionate, and comedic. I admired Anne and her willingness to help the small business owners but also keep herself in the background. Phillipe was an alpha-male through and through but I enjoyed the interaction between he and Anne’s strong willed personalities. They were very alike and to see them go toe to toe and then to surrender to one another was a thing of beauty. Breach of Trust read like a great movie; smooth, very vivid, detailed, and one that you rush to tell your friends about.”
“This novel was a real eye-opener for me. Since I am not interested in business and financing all that much, I did not know what constituted the job. But reading this novel, gave me a very good picture of the financing world. The characters are delightful. They are not stiff, cardboard people, but people with feelings and emotions that reader’s can relate to. Sometimes I felt that Anne was a little too giving and that Phillippe was a bit too demanding than in real life. But this is a work of fiction and those characteristics seem to fit. This was a great read and I look forward to reading more of Ms. Chin’s novels.”
Reader Feedback
“Breach of Trust is a fabulous story with a little something for everyone. Rarely do I find a book that has me turning pages until I reach the end, but this story of intrigue, love, and trust wrapped in the fast paced world of business kept me up until the wee hours of the night just so I could discover how the heroine, Anne would react to the sexy but aloof, Philippe.”

“I finished reading the book.
WOW!
I had to finish reading it.
I can’t say that I could not put down.
I was reading it on the computer.
I hated to leave the computer.
I enjoyed it very much.”

“I just finished Breach of Trust and
I thought it was just great.
I loved your heroine.
She was not a blonde bombshell but a normal girl.
I can relate to that.
I also loved Phillipe.
He was a believeable person also.
I liked the plot and storyline.
It is the first time I read your work
but it will not be the last.”

“Well, I just finished Breach of Trust.
I loved it.
Phillippe is fabulous and of course, Anne rocks.
I love a strong smart woman!!!!
And sexy Frenchman, ooh la la!!
I liked all the secondary character too
and couldn’t be sure of the bad guy
until the very end
although I did suspect!
I have to know, does Gregory get a story?
And Ginny too!!!
Maybe even those two together,
they sort of seemd like a good
possibility.”

FAQs
On the cover, why does Anne have a hundred dollar bill on top and singles underneath?
Can you think of a better place to put tip money? ‘Cause I’m constantly misplacing mine. I can’t wait until airport shuttle drivers take plastic.
What qualifies you to write about start up financing and business plans?
Other than writing more business plans than I’d care to remember and helping entrepreneurs to pitch to angel investors and v.c.’s? Not much. Every v.c. is different. Every private investor is different. Every business plan should be different (if yours isn’t, why are you in business?). My novels are fiction based loosely in real business. Kind of like the dot-gone’s.
Why is Philippe French?
The hubby and I travel a lot so you’re going to see some international flare in my novels. Specifically about Philippe, he got his money from technology. Because programming languages are universal, tech is a great place for non-English as a first language individuals to compete. Plus it meant I could write off a trip to Paris.
