Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The third in the Lytton family trilogy (Something Dangerous; No Angel) takes the patrician English clan—and all its jockeying for power, money and approval—into the second half of the 20th century. Set in London and New York, the novel opens in 1953 with the Lyttons in an uproar, as matriarch Celia drops two bombshells: she's leaving Lytton's, the family publishing house she has run for decades, and marrying sportsman Lord "Bunny" Arden. (Her husband Oliver died only a year earlier.) Baffled, her children contemplate how these changes will affect their careers and inheritances. Meanwhile, the narrative turns to Barty Miller, Celia's adopted daughter, who runs Lytton's New York and controls the majority share of the house thanks to her first husband's wealth, and Barty's headstrong daughter, Jenna. Barty also marries again, to Charlie Patterson, a smooth operator of relatively modest means who turns out not to be all that he appears to be. As this page-turner nears its conclusion, the Lytton family fortunes come under threat from the resentful Charlie. Will Barty and Jenna manage to preserve the Lytton legacy? Period color, deliciously shocking revelations and showy characterizations heighten this romance, which should be one of the summer's guilty pleasures. (Sept.)

From Booklist

Third in a dense, all-consuming trilogy, the latest in the Lytton family saga continues the legacy of social arrogance and single-minded ambition of publishing scion Celia Lytton (No Angel, 2003). In this episode, third-generation Lyttons compete with their forebears in an effort to wrest control of both the New York and London branches of the publishing business while falling inconveniently in love and attempting to hide their own ugly schemes. This is rich people behaving badly--and Barbara Taylor Bradford fans, along with those who enjoy the bootstraps-to-riches stories of Belva Plain--will be entranced. Jump into the trilogy anywhere and be transported into a high society of bygone times, peopled with the dysfunctional, self--serving players of an addictive soap opera. Aside from the occasional moment of confusion when sorting out the bewildering transcontinental appearances of the large cast of characters, readers will find themselves unable to resist being led Into Temptation. Come September, expect to see this hefty tome wherever they go, sneaking a read and hoping they haven't seen the last of the Lyttons. Jennifer Baker

5.0 out of 5 stars The End of Celia Lytton, Mar 16 2007
By Pamela Mckinnon "Traveling Pam" (Vancouver Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Into Temptation (Paperback)
I have just finished this book. I am sorry to see the end of the Lytton story. I loved all three of these books. I thought perhaps this one was a very slight disappointment. Maybe Vincenzi should have quit at the end of the second novel. It's hard to see certain things happen to Celia and particularly Barty. These were characters I had grown to love and it was hard to accept their various negative predicaments. I hated the character of Charlie Patterson. But perhaps the reader is supposed to.

I am completely hooked on Penny Vincenzi now though and intend to read all her books.

I can highly recommend the Spoils of Time Trilogy. They are exceptionally good.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFULLY ABSORBING!!!, Jun 28 2006
By Heather Marshall Negahdar "SUGAR-CANE" (Bridgetown, Barbados) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Into Temptation (Hardcover)
This is the third in the trilogy of The Spoils of Time and this was one of the best by one my favourite writers Penny Vincenzi.
In this latest series everything is winding up as Lady Celia Lytton the family matriarch looks to settling down to a quieter life and retirement.
This wonderful family drama centres mostly on Barty Miller, adopted by Lady Celia as a girl. Barty Miller is now heading her own company in the New York and is wealthier than all the Lyttons, which must put some stress on all concerned members of that family as she is capable of calling all the shots. But will she? How will she finally treat this family that have taken her from the slums? Will she be a hard business women or will she do the right thing for Celia sake? You find out as you dig into this tale as old secrets are revealed, past secrets that will certainly affect their future in a serious way.
