Publisher Description

Dangerous sex, family secrets, irresistible power, mega money, and two murders equal one reckless week in New York. Lovers and Players takes you on a high-powered trip from Park Avenue to Brooklyn.

Jackie Collins is back in her most deliciously scandalous novel yet. And she's giving her readers a revealing look into the private realms of her fabulously rich and sexy cast of characters.

In Lovers and Players, the Diamond family's power extends from coast to coast. Max, a real estate tycoon; Chris, a Hollywood lawyer; and Jett, a young, handsome ex-druggie, now a successful model in Italy, must finally come face to face with their tyrannical father, Red, who has been controlling their world for as long as they can remember.

Working as Red's housekeeper is Diahann, a beautiful black ex-singer. Her stunning bi-racial 19-year-old daughter, Liberty, a waitress who is a would-be singer herself, does not approve of her mother working as a housekeeper. Liberty has dreams of her own and while she pursues them, Damon P. Donnell, married hip-hop mogul supreme, pursues her.

Amy Scott-Simon, a beguilingly pretty young New York heiress, is engaged to marry Max Diamond. At her bachelorette party she runs into Jett, Max's younger brother. Jet has no idea who Amy is. She also doesn't realize who he is. A one-night fling leads to major complications.

As the lives of these characters intertwine, power, money, fame and love are the ties that bind, emotionally and otherwise, in this highly charged love story about family relationships and deadly choices.

"This was the very first book I read by Jackie Collins. I was out of town and had forgot to bring my book with me so I stopped of at Barnes & Noble and couldn't find any books I wanted to purchase. Since she is a best selling auther, I took my chances and could not put the book down. I have been a fan ever since and have yet to be disappointed."

    " lovers and players is a really great book. It stunned me from page 1 to the last page. Red Diamond really opened my eyes to see that sons have just as hard a time with dads as daughters do. I don't even think that you will not find a better villain this side of 2000. "

    " This was a good, quick, trashy novel. I picked it up at the airport, and was surprised that it was better than I thought. I had a hard time putting it down at the end becuase I had to know what was going to happen. It was kind of like reading a daytime soap opera. "

    " A nice addition to Collins growing list of books. However, I would say that certain parts of this booked lacked luster, and often left you feeling void of the proper care and handling character development truly needs. Certain parts tended to be rather predictable. "
