Power and Pleasure

by Meredith Rich

Her name is synonymous with elegance and beauty. She is Jewel Prescott, whose internationally famous jewelry designs have placed her among the ranks of Tiffany, Cartier and Bulgari. But to her enemies, she is the ultimate bitch-goddess, whose fabulous success could be ruined in one long-awaited, vengeful move. Jewel is savvy, sensual...and vulnerable. In turning her rough-cut dreams into shimmering reality, she has used her talent, cunning, even the men who worship her... Wyatt, the New York tycoon who invests in her career - and demands a big return on his money; Sascha, the stormy Russian emigre who fathers her children - and hides secrets of his own; and Hadley, the renegade free spirit whose love for Jewel turns to hatred before it leads him back to her

Reviews

[Kishel Bactong]

I've read this ages ago and I still remember what happened when.
This is really a page-turner, every turn has glamour and power. This novel proves that women can be powerful when they want to be and nothing can ever keep them from doing what they want. Not even family or friends. This entails a journey of a broken girl and used every inch of anything there is to get where she wanted to be.

First time reading Meredith Rich. I really enjoyed her writing style. Very easy to read.I did finish the book. Stated yesterday and just finished today. Really wanted to see how it ended before stopping.
