Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Delinsky's ( Heart of the Night ) new tale demonstrates that even when revenge isn't sweet, it still makes palatable reading. Writer Hillary Cox has been exceptionally patient and discreet during her 27-year affair with mining and jewelry magnate John St. George, a man who is, as they say, not the "marrying kind." Thus, when John announces on television that he has become engaged to another woman, Hillary's thoughts turn to equally public revenge: she decides to write a biographical expose of his personal and business life. John's much younger half-sister, Pamela, readily acknowledges that he's "arrogant, self-centered, despotic, and sly." She tries, however, to dissuade Hillary from her plan, hinting that she has more subtle schemes afoot for John's destruction. But the scorned woman forges on, learning that the man for whom she harbors an obsession has a loathsome history of blackmail, theft, heartless seduction, attempted incest and physical violence. Delinsky's story holds up to the last--instead of settling for melodramatic soap opera, she opts for a much less neat but more realistic ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Egos,Pride and Jealousy, Aug 13 2002
By "wildwoodldy" (Village Mills, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Facets (Mass Market Paperback)
Very good Book:
John St.George shows us what can happen to a person who is on this earth only to fill his own ego, exercise his pride in himself and strive to please his father by measuring up to his father's expectations. He hurts everyone who gets in his path to get what he wants. In the end, Pam, Hillary, Cutter and Patricia show him where his evil, self-centered ways have gotten him.

Each character was developed very well. By the middle of the book, I felt I knew each of them in a personal way. Each had their strong points and their weak points; except for John. I never did find anything good about him unless one wants to count drive and ambition as an asset. Ambition is all right John just directed it the wrong way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, Mar 29 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Facets (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the fourth Barbara Delinsky book I have read. And I have not been let down yet. John St. George is a ruthless villain you can't help but hate. This book is full of emotion. It makes you feel for the characters. I couldn't put it down.

1.0 out of 5 stars Depressing. Not really my type., May 4 2000
By "virgie" (Manila) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Facets (Mass Market Paperback)
Basically, this story is about lives & loves ruined by oneman's ruthless obsession for power. John St. George's failure inwinning his father's love/respect (& vice-versa) turned him into a control freak with a twisted mind. His jealous rage made him victimize his half-sister Pam--who was everyone's darling, & her lover Cutter Reid--the 'nobody' whom his father was so proud of. But a person can only take so much before wanting revenge...and doing something to make it happen.

In all fairness, the story had its moments 'cuz it made me cry--I really felt for Pam's predicament. While the histories that went into each major character were very detailed, there wasn't much specific info on tourmaline, mining, or the jewelry-making industry, except for some vague generalizations. Elizabeth Lowell's "Lover in the Rough" provided a lot more insights & depth of feeling.

A word of caution: 'This ain't no fairy-tale.' So if, like me, you read romances mainly for escapism, this one ain't for you.
