Brenda Joyce's first non-historical novel takes us into the Jackie Collins world of Hollywood where a rich but independent heroine has the hots for a bad boy turned actor with a past. True to the form, the path to hooking up is one bumpy ride, but Joyce's account toward this destination is a juicy, glossy, sexually-charged roman clef that lifts from its first page and stays above water. The author evidently has fun with her subjects. (SPOILER AHEAD) Their hot and cold attitude towards one another satisfyingly builds up to a grand sparks-fly union destined to become happily ever after. Joyce's world of caviar and champagne may not always be original but the passion and dedication with which she writes make for a fun and exciting experience.-----
