Private Scandals

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Julie Finneran

RITA Award Winner, Best Contemporary Single Title, 1994

This deliciously scandalous novel tells us the secrets of the reigning queens of television talk shows, Deanna Reynolds and Angela Perkins.

Their high-staked rivalry, fought with public smiles and private betrayals, is more than a ratings competition. It becomes an off-screen war when Deanna replaces Angela both on the air and behind the scenes with Angela's former lover after Angela moves to the big time in New York.

Angela's anger at her former protégé escalates from bitterness to vengeance. And an anonymous fan's admiration crosses the line into obsession. Only one woman will emerge with her life in this battle of ego and passion.

intriguing

A very suspenseful edge of your seat romance novel. As normal , Nora Roberts does not disappoint.

Very Good 5 Stars

Long yes, very good read though. I will never look at news or talk shows the same again. I thought the writer wrote very good characters and great plot lines. I was never bored with this book.

Romance Intensifies

I like this one for lots of reasons. It's classic Nora so it's good. But this one has a romance continuing and intensifying over time. Usually, romance only lasts for a short while then marriage. It's over. This story shows romance continues, grows, intensifies over time. It's marriage without the ceremony. Plus it's good suspense.

excellent story

loved it. I've listened to this story several times. Nora at her best. Great narrator.

The Narrator Ruined The Book

Private Scandals was my favorite Nora Roberts book until Julie Finneran ruined it with her horrible narration. I honestly didn't think she was as bad as most of the reviewers said but, as the book progressed, the narration just got worse. She didn't know how to articulate (I don't know if that's the right word) different emotions. Whether the character was scared, happy, or mad they all sounded the same. The narrator pretty much ruined all of the characters which, in turn, ruined the book. Private Scandals is a great book but, it's a horrible audiobook. I wouldn't recommend the audio version at all.
