Powerful and Sexy

Moving away from the historicals that made her a legend, Rosemary Rogers wrote a jet-set novel that flies higher than anything by Harold Robbins or Jacqueline Susann. The difference is in the class -- the way shy, gentle Anne is always sympathetic, a heroine who is too sensitive and romantic for the brutal passions and greed of the Hollywood world. Anne is drawn to Webb, a man who seems to be all wrong for her. Webb is hard and brutal and successful, so masculine he threatens to dominate Anne like the other men in her life. Frightened, she runs off with a long succession of older, seemingly kinder men, yet they turn out to be more manipulative than truly caring. As a neglected trophy wife, Anne develops a dangerous dependency on pills like Valium -- Rosemary Rogers shows clearly how a jet-set world that makes drug abuse seem chic and sophisticated can easily harm the innocent. Drifting this way and that, pursued by men and losing herself in sensation, Anne nearly loses it all -- before Webb comes to the rescue. THE CROWD PLEASERS is scary sometimes, touching and poignant and even melancholy -- but always oh so powerful and sexy!

Rosemary's still talented...

...even when she's trying to write a Jackie Collins-style novel...This is not a historical romance, so lose any such notions. This is a good read with plenty of "action" and after all, it's not supposed to be true-to-life believable! Take it on vacation, you won't be disappointed! (Along with Sweet Savage Love, of course -- still #1 from Rosemary Rogers in my opinion.)

CROWED PLEASERS

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH I READ IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I WISH I COULD MAKE A MOVIE OF IT. I THINK ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME. IF I CANT SOMEONE SHOULD. MAYBE THAT WAY I WOULD FIND MY WEB.

Another great romance by Rosemary Rogers!

I am a big fan of Rosemary Rogers & this book is certainly one of her best! I read it years ago & the story stuck with me so I recently reread it. I wasn't disappointed. Their is a lot of passion in the book & enough intrigue to keep you glued until the end! Although her historical novels are great also, I hope Rosemary decides to write another book like this ( & The Insiders). It's gives the reader a change of pace from the normal setting of romance novels.

CROWD PLEASERS

I am almost through reading this book and I think it is excellent. The first time I learned of this author was when I got on a train, and a book was sitting on one of the seats and I picked it up. It was the Insiders. I read that a long time ago. I was about 22. The contents was a little explicit for me. I couldn't believe that the book was that sexual. So I ordered the Crowd Pleasers. Never read it. Now I am 28 and I decided to give it a shot. The book is phenomenal! It's exciting. I am so into it. There is just so much going on. The crowd pleasers.... the people, actors, models, jeolosy, 2 people that are in love with one another but cannot be together. Hidden stories from the past. It is just a book that you can't put down. I'm at the climax of this book and i can't wait till the end.
