Review
“Rife with dastardly internecine struggles, smoldering illicit passion, and cowardly insidious betrayals…[the Deravenels] pack as much intrigue as any Shakespearean royal drama.”—Booklist
"Fans will be thrilled by the third Ravenscar book, a modern, corporate version of Tudor England.... Bradford is the master of grand, sweeping family sagas."
--RT Book Reviews
"Bradford transports us to a world of opulence, power and riches.... It never disappoints."
--Bookreporter.com
Book Description
At age twenty-five, Elizabeth Deravenel Turner finds herself in a position few women her age could image: the head of Deravenels, a business empire that spans the globe. It’s a company whose reach is wide and whose secrets are deep. Deravenels has roots that go far back in her family’s history—and she knows the price that many had to pay to see it reach the success it is today.
Elizabeth is the youngest executive in the company she now leads. Surrounded by rumors and disloyalty, she is aware that there are many people who would give anything to take down the company—and her with it. With her enemies circling, she finds herself at a crossroad of choices involving her mind, her heart, and her destiny. As scandal surrounds the one man she’s ever loved, Elizabeth discovers how the next move she makes could have deadly and final consequences…

Would you believe "NO STARS"???,

This review is from: Being Elizabeth (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the worst excuse for a novel that I've seen in a very long time. In a postscript, the author claims Elizabeth Turner as her own character -- hardly! I'm surprised that none of the descriptions or reviews I read before borrowing this book from the library (thank heavens I didn't buy it!) mentioned that it's a barely-disguised ripoff of history -- Elizabeth I, to be exact. Elizabeth Turner is Elizabeth I, daughter of Harry Turner (Henry VIII). Much to my surprise, before he died, Harry had six wives: Catherine, Anne, Jane, Anne, Kathy, and Katherine (sound familiar???). Elizabeth's closest advisors: Cecil Williams and Francis Walsington (instead of the historic William Cecil and Francis Walsingham) -- her lifelong love is Robert Dunley (instead of Robert Dudley). We even have a rival for her empire (in the book, this is a corporation rather than a country) in Marie Stewart whose husband Darlay is murdered by her lover, Jimmy Bothwith (again, sound familiar?). This book was worse than disappointing -- it was ridiculous!

Being Elizabeth,

This review is from: Being Elizabeth (Mass Market Paperback)
Bradford should either write books with substance or give up writing novels altogether. This book is just a summary of her last book under a new title. I think she is past her prime. Don't waste your money on her latest books.

Being Elizabeth by Barbara Taylor Bradford,
This review is from: Being Elizabeth (Mass Market Paperback)
I agree with the previous review. This is not original work!! It's a modernized version of Queen Elizabeth I's life!! It should say so on the dust jacket! I won't be reading any more of this author's books!
