Helpful Score: 1
This is not one of Sheldon's better works but it is quick and readable. I think the underdevelopment of characters was one reason I didn't care for the book much. I just didn't care. There were storylines that were started but that is as far as they went. This was just a bad book by Sheldon.
About an insecure women who makes it to the top of the business world. But still has more to deal with.
Sidney Sheldon is always good.
Sidney Sheldon is always good.
Sheldon never lets you down and each chapter moves so fast that you don't dare put the book down!
As I read this, I felt like I was reading a script for a bad TV movie. Most of Sheldon's novels become TV mini series, so he probably forgot he was writing a novel instead of a script. Towards the end, one gets the feeling like he is rushing to finish the novel too.
Lara Cameron is a young and beautiful self-made tycoon. She doesn't realize that a spurned lover will stop at nothing to get revenge against her. I give this book an A+! because it was so good.
A quick read but worth it. Interesting main character makes you hate to have to put it down.
Sidney Sheldon's most passionate novel set against the glamorous world of international business--featuring a complex heroine who faces a series of life-shattering decisions. You will meet Lara Cameron, a woman who rises to great wealth in business, then is wiped out overnight, marriage and all.
Paul Martin, a mysterious and brilliant lawyer who is captivated by Lara and her independence.
Howard Keller, Lara's longtime friend and mentor, torn between his loyalty to her and the responsibility of maintaining a terrifying secret, one that must never be revealed to Lara.
and Philip Adler, who offers Lara an exciting new world, but at a price that could destroy them both. With scenes in Scotland, Nova Scotia, New York and London, Rome and Reno, this is a classic Shelton novel with startling surprises and shocks that have surprised millions of fans. A cliff-hanger suspense.

The story of a female real estate magnate. Typical of Sheldon books, which I quite enjoy.
In this Book Sidney Sheldon has gone back to what I consider his classic style. Great Read.
Sheldon is always good.
I really enjoyed this book. I read it in two days.
A can't put down book with plot twists, and turns as is classic Sidney Sheldon. He doesn't write them fast enough for me.
I would read it again.
This is a good book, with Lara Cameron as the memorable heroine. She is America's princess, and the power behind the tallest building on earth, a self-made billionaire who towers over a traditionally male domain. She finds that everything she has desired and won is swiftly imperiled. The story is set in a dazzling global setting from London to New York, from Reno to Rome.
Sheldon did it again! Good book to read!
This is another one of Sidney Sheldon's books that you just can't put down.
