I normally like Fenrn Mchaels' books. She writes well and has interesting characters, doesn't feel the need to use a lot of obscenities and boring, silly sex scenes are practically non-existent. CROWN JEWEL really disappointed me tjhough. Everything was so instantaneously perfect for Ricky Lam the movie star. Even his brotehr's death seemed perfect and there was no real conflict with the characters. The resentment seemed to build and fade with his sister in law, his illegitimate sons and his brother's discovered second family within a span of five minutes. Everything was Hollywood happy ending perfect and it was BORING. Maybe it is because he was throwing his money around? And the hotel THE CROWN JEWEL, was not featured as prominantly as I would have expedcted and didn't really seem teh foucs of the book. . I am really disappointed the author si getting away from her real people' novels for something more glitzy. It didn't feel that real to me and made me think of a Sidney Sheldon wannabe that didn't quite cut the mustard. I thimk the story would ahve been much better if she adh developed it around teh reporter Gracie Lick because was the only one that really sparkled and had real life.
