She has gotten better at streamlining her multi-generational stories over the course of her career. ( )This is the second book I've read about an illegitimate daughter of Errol Fylnn - the other was The Pirate's Daughter. He must have been prodigiously prolific. Fleur is the offspring of Flynn and one of the most unappealing, completely self-centered, mothers I've ever encountered in a book. Along with her mother's husband, Alexi, Belinda qualifies for a most disgusting parent award. But Fleur conquers all - and there is a lot to overcome - to find happiness in true Phillips fashion. A fun time (except for the parents from Hell) with good winning the day. I picked this book up thinking it would be a lighthearted chick lit. Don't be fooled by the title and sparkling cover. Yes, there are some steamy scenes, but they aren't what drive the book. This book chronicles the life of Fleur, a young girl turned lady who has been completely messed up by her delusional mother and conniving "father". There are not a lot of surprises with the twists and turns her life takes, you just know she's going to get screwed (not literally) repeatedly due to her parents. However, it's how the tale unfolds that is interesting. My heart broke for most of the twisted characters in the story. It wasn't what I had signed up for reading, but I had a hard time putting the book down because I was so drawn into Fleur's world. Excellent story covering mother and daughter's lives. First half is quick moving and interesting, but the last half moves more slowly with two movie stars hiding their true feelings. no reviews | add a review
