Summary: Amusing in the beginning, boring in the end...
Review: I had to have this book after reading the condensed version in Good Housekeeping. The main character, Jazz Kilkullen is as exciting as her career in celebrity photography. And her relationship with Casey Nelson is what attracted me to the story in the first place. Here is a woman who can practically have any man she wants, including a hollywood megastar and a charming war photographer. Then, her eyes fall upon an awkward and clumsy *only when around her!* investor/cowboy who's as interesting as Jazz herself. I read this book in one day. It's utterly sinful, full of steamy sex, and an absolutely satisfying read! My favorite Judith Krantz novel!

Rating:
Summary: not typical Krantz
Review: I've read most of Judith Krantz's novels and this one was a disappointment. Jazz was her usual likeable main character, but too many unnecessary characters really weakened this novel. It seemed that even great-great-grandparents were brought in as characters as the story went on! The male character who seemed to be a challenging, interesting match for Jazz just disappeared halfway through the story. There were some fun and memorable moments, but Mrs. Krantz usually does a much better job than this.

Summary: Horrible
Review: Needless to say i couldnt finish this book.I made it part way through and had to stop.The book just seemed to turn into a bad Lifetime movie.I have only read one other of the authors books.Hopefully they get better.

Summary: WORST heroine ever!!
Review: Throughout the entire recording, I kept waiting for Jazz to be told by SOMEONE, ANYONE, to grow up and stop thinking the world revolved around her. No such luck! She just goes her merry way, insulting absolutely anyone and everyone, and everything comes up roses for her. NO redeeming qualities, like those that saved Billie in "Scruples" and "Scruples 2" - just a nasty woman and a group of people who adore her for no apparent reason! I'd rather listen to static on my radio. :)
