Wie in vielen anderen Romanen von E. Gage geht es auch in diesem Buch wieder einmal um die Story ein Mann zwischen zwei Frauen. Jill ist sexy und skrupellos, Lessie wunderschön und faszinierend. Eine unterhaltsame Geschichte über die Raffinessen der Frauen, die Ahnungslosigkeit der Männer (die doch immer wieder auf die "falsche" Frau hereinfallen) und die Machenschaften in Hollywood. Gewürzt ist das ganze mit einer leichter Prise Erotik und fertig ist der perfekte Roman für den Urlaub!
I have to admit the ending changed my feeling about this book which annoyed me greatly until about two thirds through. I didn't much appreciate the style which felt very Danielle Steele/Jackie Collins to me, with the ultra rich and super ambitious, tales of takeovers and corporation politics - not really my thing. I also felt the constant introduction of new characters with their whole life story a bit like a catalogue after a while. Only towards the end when their paths all FINALLY started to cross, did it become more interesting. I was irked no end that the story started with the violent scene which (intentionally, no doubt) overshadowed the whole rest of the book, but did feel somewhat assuaged when the scene was replayed from a different perspective finally at the end. Not sure I would go for another book by this author, but did want to read it all the way through (although that wasn't a foregone conclusion about half-way).
