Product Description
The sexy, sizzling classic from international bestselling superstar Jackie CollinsLondon, 1969. The hottest, hippest, wildest domain of hedonists and pleasure-seekers, where swingers swarm the clubs and discos in a high-stakes quest to live for the moment. At the center of this decadent scene, one man plays all the angles, never missing a chance to score with the beautiful women who desire him -- and walks the line between ecstasy and overload. Now the woman he wants the most knows his number -- and may just call his bluff.

 Intrigue, not romance December 2, 2003
This book is more intrigue than romance, but offers a glimpse into some of London and New York of the early 1960s. The main character, Tony, appears dim and unlikable throughout the book as he makes petty excuses for "infidelities" and seems to idolize displays of wealth and extremes- the seasoned, socialite housewife and eventually, as a reaction to her, the naive, virgin schoolgirl. With no secure financial backers, his good looks get him by, but probably for only as long as looks can. While the main character is unlikable, other characters are even more so. The ending seems to benefit the naive girl in the long-run, as the main character's interest in her appeared to be more of an idolization than love. His interest seems to be based on his realization that he can mold her just as someone has molded him. His professed love for her seems weak when he pursues and undertakes infidelities, for monetary gain and physical pleasure.
the stud September 20, 2002
I don't usually read romance novels, and if you do, this one may disappoint you. There is no happy ending. There are no perfect or likeable heroes or heroines. Collins critiques power and money. She shows how they can debase human relationships. This book is all about ego, using money and sex as metaphors. It is exciting and it maintains your interest. But there is no fantasy dreamland for you to float off into at the end. You're more likely to be left examining both society around you and your conscience. If you find this more exciting than facile escapism, buy the book!
 Dissappointing August 1, 2000
I read this whole book that had me intrigued and I really thought it was very good. When I read the ending I was very dissappointed. The ending was dumb and pointless and didnt make any sense to me that it ended that way. In my opinion this book should not have gotten the high ratings that it got. I strongly suggest to everyone who loves romances novels not to read this one, you will be as dissappointed as I was.
Not that great July 31, 2000
I read this book and I must say that I was very dissappointed in the end. It really had me going and kept me intrigued but the ending just messed it up. I thought it was so stupid. I would not reccomend this book to anyone just because of the ending.
 Experience the sixties w/o being there February 23, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Let me preface this by saying I'm not a very big fan of Jackie Collins, but I LOVE this book. As you move through 1969 London through the eyes of professional stud Tony Blake, you'll almost feel like you've taken a trip back in time. The sex scenes are hot w/o being vulgar, and all the characters, even the secondary ones, are very well drawn out. A scintillating and wonderful trip back in time!
