Gorgeous, flamboyant Maxi Amberville is twenty-nine and has already discarded three husbands on two continents. Life is a stream of endless pleasure in her lavish Trump Tower apartment--until her widowed mother married a man who plots to sell her father's magazine empire. And Maxi turns her incredible lust for living into a passionate quest for power.

Maxi takes over the small weekly Buttons And Bows. She gathers her hot-blooded ex-husband, sassy daughter and a coterie of the powerful elite. Then, risking all, Maxi creates B&B --the glitziest, ritziest, most successful fashion magazine in the country. Here is a dramatic, sizzling story of love, family, ambition and one unforgettable woman who gives life and love everything she has

Maxi Amberville, another sensational heroine in another TV-miniseries-to-be-novel. Beautiful, thrice-married Maxi is independently wealthy, and flamboyantly carefree until she locks horns with her vile uncle over a matter of family honor. He would close down several unprofitable magazines in her late father's publishing empire, but she insists on trying to rescue the sentimental underdog. Her transformation scheme is a delight. Power struggles, steamy sex, high finance, and scandal in the Big Apple provide a fascinating cast of characters with a fast-paced story line that will keep readers turning pages late into the night

Lots of money, energy, sex and business politics in the magazine world. The denouement comes a bit quick at the end, but the story doesnt suffer too much because of it ( )

What I remember vividly from this book is Lily & Cutter's trists and Zachary's death. Loved this book as a teenager. ( )

Gewend aan een leven vol luxe en weelde, heeft Maxime zich op haar 29ste geïnstalleerd in een super de luxe appartement dat miljoenen dollars kost. Hier omringd zij zich na drie mislukte huwelijken met alles wat haar dierbaar is: haar fraaie meubels, haar juwelen en het kostbaarste van alles: haar dochtertje.
Maar wanneer het tijdschriftenimperium dat door haar vader werd opgezet en onder zijn bezielende leiding tot een gigantisch bedrijf uitgroeide, na diens dood door een onbetrouwbaar familielid met sluiting wordt bedreigd, ontdekt Maxime dat ze tot meer in staat is dan zich baden in weelde.

Met inzet van al haar ambities en haar hele kapitaal stelt ze zich de taak haar vaders meest favoriete weekblad van de ondergang te redden.
