"Such scandallllll. I swear. Fast paced and un-put-downable. If that's a word. Its a good story follow up to Sidney Sheldon's Master of the Game. Tho I wonder how Sheldon himself would have wrote the sequel, I can say that I still enjoyed Bagshawe's follow up."

— Abishag (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Lexi was no Kate Blackwell but still a good book. master of the game is one of my favorite books of all time. This book was a bit disturbing in parts, I felt unnecessarily but a pretty fast read. "

    " It is what it is. A story of money and lust. Capitalizing off of the Sydney Sheldon book "Master of the Game". It is a guilty pleasure and a good read for pure enjoyment. The story moves fast with one chapter often leaping ahead 3-5 years from the previous chapter. Personally, I like hti sas it keeps the story moving. "

    " Loved this book. Made me want to go back and read Master of the Game again. Tilly Bagshawe did an excellent job of living up to Sidney Sheldon's standards. It was a book that I hated to finish because I knew the next book I read would not be as good! "

    " Sidney Sheldon was and probably is (even if he's gone already) my favorite author. So imagine my excitement when I saw this book years ago at our local bookstore. I was so excited I immediately read the book when I got home. Only to get disappointed in the end. I didn't feel the can't-put-down-need-to-finish urge just like when i was reading Sheldon's work. I got bored and gave up reading. Sorry to say this but Tilly just ruined it. "

    " Not the best sequel one could think to Master of the Game. It wasn't the way the story should have gone for me. It strayed from its path and the ending of the book just left me confused. All in all, an average book. "
