I didn't want to waste my time reading about a "dirt bag" with two families. ( ) “Power Play”, by Danielle Steel is nothing short of entertaining, exciting with quite a few twists and turns throughout the book. The book focuses on the lives of two CEO's, both successful in playing the power card in their own way. Fiona Carson a divorcee uses power to push harder each day in a male dominated business world. She tries hard to have a balance of work and spending time with her children. Marshall Weston is also very successful with a beautiful wife who goes out of her way to impress his clients. Marshall holds a secret that has the potential to change the lives of many. The author does a great job at making both characters very likable. The author is known for romance in her books and she doesn't disappoint with romance in this book either. I would recommend this book it is an easy read and entertaining. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
