Lovers and Players

De: Jackie Collins

Narrado por: Jackie Collins, Sydney Poitier, Jack Scalia, Scott Sowers

Jackie Collins is back—in this deliciously scandalous novel, Lovers & Players. And she's giving her listeners a revealing look into the private realms of her fabulously rich and sexy cast of characters.

Dangerous sex, family secrets, irresistible power, mega money and two murders equal one reckless week in New York. Lovers and Players takes you on a high-powered trip from Park Avenue to Brooklyn.

In Lovers and Players, the Diamond family's power extends from coast to coast. Max—a real estate tycoon; Chris—a Hollywood lawyer; and Jett—a handsome young ex-druggie, now a successful model in Italy, must finally come face to face with their tyrannical father, Red, who has been controlling their world for as long as they can remember.

Working as Red's housekeeper is Diahann, a beautiful black ex-singer. Her stunning bi-racial nineteen-year-old daughter, Liberty—a waitress who is a would-be singer herself—does not approve of her mother working as a housekeeper. Liberty has dreams of her own and while she pursues them, Damon P. Donnell, married hip-hop mogul supreme, pursues her.

Amy Scott-Simon, a beguilingly pretty young New York heiress, in engaged to marry Max Diamond. At her bachelorette party she runs into Jett, Max's younger brother. Jet has no idea who Amy is. She also doesn't realize who he is. A one-night fling leads to major complications.

As the lives of these characters intertwine, power, money, fame and love are the ties that bind—emotionally and otherwise—in this highly charged love story about family relationships and deadly choices.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Take one vindictive aging tycoon and three charismatic, ambitious sons; add one naïve heiress, one aspiring R&B diva, one British (titled, natch) lady of the house; throw in a dash of Russian mafia, kinky sex and a pinch of rap mogul, fabulous locations and a sprinkling of murders, and you have the ingredients for a fast-paced, glamour-heavy Collins extravaganza.” —Publishers Weekly

“Vintage Collins here: Sex, love, betrayal, and deception. Her fans will certainly enjoy.” —Booklist

“[Collins] seems to know every Hollywood player and just where to find their dirty laundry basket. She is a consummate observer, an outsider with an insider's knowledge. That's her signature trick. She is at once both intimate and detached.” —Daily Mail (UK)

Jackie's Back

Jackie Collins has done it again! This new book was awesome. It had all of the classic things you look for in a Collins novel: sex, scandals and of course Hollywood Players! Excellent - I love this book!!

very entertaining

Lots of characters to keep up with, but once you have them down packed it will all make sense. GREAT story

4 Chapters

This was not worth a credit. 4 chapters and the. ends.
There is no way that this is a 4 chapter book. There's too many characters and plot lines and things that are going on for this to be a single book and leaveLeave so many things open and no details of that just this happened and that was the end

Love Jackie Collins!!

My first JC audiobook. All her prior books I read in paperback. I liked the narration and story. Kept my interest throughout!!
