What a glorious, fucked up, depraved, over the top, delicious, trashy train wreck mess of a book this is!!!!
Whoever wrote the synopsis for the back of the book deserves an award. To be able to condense a book like this into 2 paragraphs is fucking amazing. Or, to put it another way, to be able to find the main story in 520 pages of movie stars, politicians, models, CIA operatives, parties, murders, sex, mafiosos, millionaires, billionaires, a gang-bang, Arabs, lesbians, filming a movie, bitches,...more

This is a soap opera of outlandish WTF moments and indiscriminate promiscuity with lots of drug use. I had to write down the names of the characters to keep them straight and when I filled the page I stopped. RR's just seemed to add names of characters just to add them. She didn't just add names, they had to be full names of people who had no consequence to the story. The hero, Webb Carnahan ( again his name is almost always written in full), an actor, former ?CIA agent,connected to the Mob, mal...more
Rosemary Rogers has a thing for rape. I'm not kidding. She really does. I'm just saying...
Anyhow I'm only 100 pages in and what can I say? In the course of 9 hours our wholesome heroine Anne Hyatt sneaks into the town theater to visit an old friend performing in a pre-Broadway production. She almost gets kicked out and is "rescued" by hunky manwhore Webb Carnahan, the male slut star of said production. Seriously. He screws anything.
Anne is instantly wet in the panties for him and knows immediat...more

I'm not sure what to think of this book. It's just wrong. The heroine gets gang-raped and the so-called hero is on the scene. Supposedly he didn't participate, but he didn't stop it either. Later on he helps her recover and they fall in love. That's really stretching believability for me. I am somewhat lenient on forced seduction and rape in romance, depending on the circumstances, but that's something I couldn't really get past. I think he should have helped her and stopped the rape. I'm still...more

I have no problem with a good trashy book now and then. After coming off a rather difficult read, I picked this one up, thinking it would fall into that category. Not so. This book is so ridiculously over-the-top that it reaches the point of absurdity. The dialogue is so campy and dramatic that it is alternately laughable and cringe-worthy. (Ex: "Damn your eyes, Annie, for making me want you!" Huh?) The "hero" (for lack of a better word as there is no hero in this schlock) uses the term "baby" s...more

Read a long time ago and remember really liking it but I want to read again someday.
This was an AWFUL book! There are so many weird characters and absolutely horrendous situations (including gang rape). I read this book a while ago but the negative feeling I derived from this book still lingers. Do not read.
Too many actors and not enough characters...
Plot not developed, justa string of enecdotes that finally fall together.
If this had beenwell-written it could have been a 300 page book instead of 520.
