Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Its epigraph may be from Rimbaud, but the rest of this mega-soap opera is pure Sheldon (Nothing Lasts Forever): a twisty, turbo-paced yarn of international intrigue set in the "champagne wishes and caviar dreams" world of the super-rich. When ruthless billionaire Harry Stanford is found drowned off the coast of Corsica, his three legitimate children gather at Rose Hill, the Stanford estate in Boston. They are Woody, a polo-playing playboy who likes to abuse both drugs and his ex-waitress wife; Tyler, who has parlayed a first-rate legal mind into a Chicago judgeship; and Kendall, whose success as a fashion designer is marred by her dark secret and the blackmailer who knows it. The mogul's will dictates that his fortune be divided among his "issue"?including the beautiful young woman who, hearing of her father's death, flies to Boston to at last meet her half-siblings. She is Julia Stanford, the tycoon's cast-off love child, now an enterprising executive secretary in Kansas. Of course, Julia finds herself cast as an object of suspicion by the doubting Stanfords. But even as she is drawn into the web of deceit that surrounds the family fortune, the troubled lives of the other heirs and, it turns out, Harry Stanford's death, she finds, in typical Sheldon fashion, enduring romance. This isn't Sheldon's finest. The narrative is a bit choppy and the characters less than lustrous. But his plot hooks remain sharp and it's the rare fan who's not going to be ensnared once again by this perennially bestselling author. Major ad/promo; Literary Guild main selection.

From Booklist

Prolific storyteller Sheldon is at it again in his latest melodrama. Multibillionaire Harry Stanford leads a double life; to the public, he appears charming and philanthropic, but to those who know him well, he is conniving and utterly heartless. No one knows that better than his three grown children. In spite of their mutual abhorrence for their father, the siblings couldn't find solace in each other because Stanford's cruelty kept them apart while they were growing up. It is not surprising, then, that they are filled with glee when they learn of their father's fatal fall from his yacht during a storm. The reading of the will promises to be a crowning moment for these children, but it is apparent that one of them is up to no good. Then their half-sister, Stanford's long-lost fourth child, shows up--but can she be trusted? Fans of Sheldon's previous novels will appreciate his usual quick pace and plot twists, but generally the writing, particularly the dialogue, is stale and forced. Nevertheless, you better stock up.

4.0 out of 5 stars A 4 star review..., Mar 2 2004
This review is from: Morning, Noon & Night (Mass Market Paperback)
This book revolves around a very wealthy man, Harry Stanford and his three legitimate children, {Tyler, Woody and Kendal} and one illegitimate {Julia} child born to him and the live in nanny. It turns out that Harry Stanford is not a very nice Billionaire. He cheated on his wife pretty regular. So much so that she committed suicide after he and the live in Nanny made a baby. His three children blamed him for their mothers' death. After which the nanny leaves town before the child is born. After the child is born Harry makes it a point to completely ignore her very existence.

The three children and their father were a severely dysfunctional family. The father hated his children and treated as bad as possible. When the children would have cling to each other for support and bonded together, Harry separated them and sent all three off to different schools. When Harry Stanford turns up dead, {an accident????? Nope.} the sibling reunion while not really a sad occasion is very strained due to the fact that they are virtual strangers to one another. And all three are hiding very dirty little secrets of their own. These secrets start coming out one by one when Julia shows up right before the reading of their fathers will...

While a somewhat enjoyable and interesting read I was able to figure out who did what to whom very quickly so there were no real surprises for me throughout the novel. I would still recommend this book however, because I am a big fan of Sidney and have yet to be disappointed by this author. {Note: This is my fourth novel by this author.}

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice and easy, Oct 27 2003
By Jorge Frid (Mexico City) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Morning, Noon & Night (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a nice and easy reading, you could read it in one or two days at the beach or in a long flight, the story of the four brothers Stanford is almost unreal but you will have a great time reading the stories and that is why you read a book.
The end of the book is really amazing, when the lawyer reads the will of Harry, it is a good book that make you think.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absurd!, May 18 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Morning, Noon & Night (Mass Market Paperback)
The narrative jumps from one absurdity to the next. Two-thirds in, I tossed it into the trash can. The plot is forced, the characters are contrived, the decisions Tyler makes are unbelievable and naive, especially for a judge who has some inkling of how savy criminals think.

That Julia's mother would never tell her daughter who her father is is another ridiculous assumption. And that no one would question why Margo/Julia would sign away her billion dollar interest in the inheritance to some unknown corporation--and no one would question that?--is beyond even ridiculous.

This book is a super insult to my tiny intelligence. I hope the author will think out his story more effectively in the future. He has a fine talent, but is wasting it by writing super-pulp fiction like this.
