Amy Scott-Simon, a beguilingly pretty young New York heiress, is engaged to marry Max Diamond, an older, powerful real estate tycoon, when at her bachelorette party she runs into Jett, Max's younger half-brother-fresh from Italy, where he is a successful male model. A one-time drug addict now in the program, Jett has no idea who Amy is. She also doesn't realize who he is. A one-night fling leads to complications and regrets. Toss in a hip-hop mogul, an aspiring biracial singer, a hot L.A. entertainment lawyer, and a Russian socialite who knows where the bodies are buried, stir briskly, and you have a highly charged love story about family relationships, deadly choices, and dangerous sex. You also have Jackie Collins at her best.
Sex, love, and music are the backdrop for this story of Red Diamond, rich, cruel father, and his three sons, Chris, Max, and Jett, whose lives are decent despite him. The estranged sons are called to New York by Red and end up bonding with each other and working through their crises while fighting off the sadistic actions of their father. Isabel Keating brings the passion of Collins's story to the fore, along with its main and secondary characters, all of whom hope for better lives. Keating portrays the ups and downs of the Diamonds' encounters and entanglements while spinning out Collins's subplots. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
