Crowd Pleasers

Summary: Rosemary's still talented...
Review: ...even when she's trying to write a Jackie Collins-style novel...This is not a historical romance, so lose any such notions. This is a good read with plenty of "action" and after all, it's not supposed to be true-to-life believable! Take it on vacation, you won't be disappointed! (Along with Sweet Savage Love, of course -- still #1 from Rosemary Rogers in my opinion.)

Summary: Book Description
Review: From back cover:

The 'Crowd Pleasers' is the story of Anne Hyatt, a shy young beauty (American) who flees a cold, loveless marriage to embark on a career as a model- only to be trapped in a corrupt dreamworld of passion gone insane.

Her odyssey sweeps her from London, where fabulous careers are built on a bed of promises, to a movie-set on a lush island off the California coast, where she lands a role opposite America's hottest star, Webb Carnahan, who will take her to the outreaches of sensation- alternately loving and hating- as they struggle to be together...even if it costs them their lives.

Summary: Another great romance by Rosemary Rogers!
Review: I am a big fan of Rosemary Rogers & this book is certainly one of her best! I read it years ago & the story stuck with me so I recently reread it. I wasn't disappointed. Their is a lot of passion in the book & enough intrigue to keep you glued until the end! Although her historical novels are great also, I hope Rosemary decides to write another book like this (& The Insiders). It's gives the reader a change of pace from the normal setting of romance novels.

Review: I am almost through reading this book and I think it is excellent. The first time I learned of this author was when I got on a train, and a book was sitting on one of the seats and I picked it up. It was the Insiders. I read that a long time ago. I was about 22. The contents was a little explicit for me. I couldn't believe that the book was that sexual. So I ordered the Crowd Pleasers. Never read it. Now I am 28 and I decided to give it a shot. The book is phenomenal! It's exciting. I am so into it. There is just so much going on. The crowd pleasers.... the people, actors, models, jeolosy, 2 people that are in love with one another but cannot be together. Hidden stories from the past. It is just a book that you can't put down. I'm at the climax of this book and i can't wait till the end.

Summary: Powerful and Sexy
Review: Moving away from the historicals that made her a legend, Rosemary Rogers wrote a jet-set novel that flies higher than anything by Harold Robbins or Jacqueline Susann. The difference is in the class -- the way shy, gentle Anne is always sympathetic, a heroine who is too sensitive and romantic for the brutal passions and greed of the Hollywood world.

Anne is drawn to Webb, a man who seems to be all wrong for her. Webb is hard and brutal and successful, so masculine he threatens to dominate Anne like the other men in her life. Frightened, she runs off with a long succession of older, seemingly kinder men, yet they turn out to be more manipulative than truly caring. As a neglected trophy wife, Anne develops a dangerous dependency on pills like Valium -- Rosemary Rogers shows clearly how a jet-set world that makes drug abuse seem chic and sophisticated can easily harm the innocent. Drifting this way and that, pursued by men and losing herself in sensation, Anne nearly loses it all -- before Webb comes to the rescue.

THE CROWD PLEASERS is scary sometimes, touching and poignant and even melancholy -- but always oh so powerful and sexy!

Summary: Not A Romance
Review: The book reads like an X rated movie with non-stop sex. The "hero" sleeps with EVERY female character throughout the book, and the "heroine" is taken advantage of by EVERY male character. I don't know much about movie business, but I don't think that in a historical drama such as the one they are filming in this book all the sex scenes are real actions. The part where the heroine is being gang-raped by the secondary actor and ALL the extras on the set, while the hero turns his back and pretends it's nothing, really sickens me. I can believe that Steve and Ginny love each other in the historical "Sweet Savage Love", but I couldn't find in any part of this book the element of love, only lust. When Webb turns out to be some sort of secret agent at the end it's only laughable to me. BTW, if you like steamy contemporary ROMANCE please read "Love Play". I think Rosemary Rogers is one of the most talented romance author. It's a pity that sometimes she writes porn, not romance.
