"Fun fluff"
Hollywood superstar Lissa Roman thinks her fourth spouse
Gregg Lynch is seeing another woman. Lissa puts up with a
lot from her men, but refuses to accept womanizing. Will
she toss Gregg out of her life? Lissa's daughter Nicci feels confused between her fiancÈ
Evan Richer and her future brother-in-law Brian. She loves
both of them yet finds she is more attracted to Brian.
Will she choose Brian over Evan? Lissa visits private investigator Michael Scorsinni to make
inquiries into Gregg's philandering. When Lissa and
Michael first meet, a spark ignites, but both keep the
relationship strictly business. Michael has tapes of
Gregg's cheating and promises to handle everything required
to throw him out of Lissa's home. Will Lissa and Michael
follow up on that initial attraction? Meanwhile ex-con Eric Vernon sets a plot in motion to
kidnap Nicci. He pretends to be gay to attain information
from Lissa's assistant Danny and begins to follow Nicci to
learn her habits. Will Eric succeed in abducting Nicci? Jackie Collins is a strange phenomenon that defies the
logic of literature. Though the readers know it's fluff
Ms. Collins somehow hooks you for no logical reason into a
one sitting read in which you feel totally entertained but
not sure why. The HOLLYWOOD WIVES -- THE NEW GENERATION
fits that classification as the story contains two
intriguing major subplots and three other unnecessary but
enticing minor subplots. Ms. Collins has done it again, as
her fans will savor her latest contemporary fiction. Will
the audience finally understand why we love Ms. Collins? Harriet Klausner
