Claire Laurent ha luchado mucho para levantar Sedas de Francia y convertirla en la firma de lencería más conocida del momento. Claire sabe combinar la elegancia con una voluntad de hierro, y tiene fama de no permitir que nadie se interponga en su camino. Cuando el tele-evangelista Jack Wilde emprende una campaña contra Sedas de Francia por las " pecaminosas" prendas de fantasía que Claire comercializa, y poco después aparece brutalmente asesinado, todas las sospechas recaen sobre ella.
Complicados en el caso se hallan también Robert Cassidy, enamorado de Claire pero casi convencido de su culpabilidad; la despampanante modelo Yasmine que tanto ha contribuido a situar Sedas de Francia en el candelero, y la joven viuda de Jack Wilde, que lloró en público a su marido con sus bellos ojos azules, aunque planea hacerse con todo su imperio televisivo...

I consider myself as a consistent Sandra Brown fan. However, this book was such a disappointment.
None of the characters were believable or relatable. Yasmine as a character was particularly obnoxious. Reading her whole storyline simply felt as if i was reading a pure porn book.
Her mood swings, her love affair. Nothing was good.
Another thing I particularly didn't like was when Alexis wife finds out about the affair, her only apparent objection was that Yasmine was black.
Not an enjoyable read at all ( )

Claire Laurent runs a successful lingerie shop called, French Silk, in New Orleans. Unfortunately it has earned the complete attention of the local evangelist, Jackson Wilde, who has nothing but scathing remarks to make about her lingerie shop. This has caused tension and bad publicity for Claire’s business since his campaign is aimed at shutting her down. Then one day, the preacher is found murdered and while Jack Wilde may have had many enemies, the list dwindles down to Claire being at the top of the list of suspects who has a viable motive.

District Attorney, Robert Cassidy takes on the case. The sparks fly when Cassidy and Claire meet for the first time in her lingerie shop. The chemistry between them is so thick at times you could cut it with a knife. Claire seems to have an airtight alibi but Cassidy, who wants to believe her because he’s attracted her, keeps finding evidence to the contrary. The case eventually becomes a conflict of interest that is briefly mentioned because Cassidy is attracted to the suspect. Therefore objectivity becomes a big problem for solving the case. ( )

Very disappointing. I try not to give really bad reviews. But I have nothing positive to say. Bad character development, predictable plot, really nothing redeeming to say. I doubt I'll read another book by this author. ( )

Typical early contemporary Brown. The characters make or break her books. ( )
