publishers Weeklyimagine Donald Trump As A Drop-dead Gorgeous Woman And You'll Have An Approximate Image Of Lara Cameron, The Heroine Of Sheldon's Latest--barely Tepid--potboiler. A Super-successful Real Estate Developer, Lara Has Made Millions Of Dollars--and A Few Enemies--in Her Ascent From A Childhood Of Deprivation To The Upper Echelons Of The Business World. When She Falls In Love With A Renowned Concert Pianist, She Sets About ``winning'' Him As She Would A Prime Piece Of Waterfront Property. But Her Ties To A Lawyer With Mafia Connections And Her Shady Way Of Doing Business Threaten Her Happiness And Eventually Her Income And Reputation. In Settings That Vary From Canada To Chicago And New York, Bestselling Novelist Sheldon ( The Other Side Of Midnight, Rage Of Angels ) Brings Real Zest To The High-stakes Poker Game That Provides The Novel's Backdrop. But His Pancake-flat Characters Are As Insubstantial As The Paper Fortunes That Drive The Real Estate Business. Moreover, The Characters Have An Annoying Tendency To Speak In Overwrought Cliches; Sounding For All The World Like Scarlett O'hara, Young Lara Laments, ``someday . . . I Will Have My Own Land, And No One--no One--will Ever Take It Away From Me.'' Frankly, By The Final Chapter, Readers Won't Give A Damn. First Serial To Cosmopolitan; Literary Guild Main Selection.
