About this listen
In this captivating audiobook from number one New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel, five successful women play for high stakes in their careers at a boutique literary and talent agency.
Jane Addison is an ambitious young woman with big dreams of owning her own company someday. At 28, she arrives in New York to start a job at Fletcher and Benson, a prestigious talent agency. Eager to impress her new colleagues, Jane jumps right in as an assistant to Hailey West, one of the agents in the literary department.
Hailey is dedicated to the authors she represents, but her home life is chaotic and challenging. After her husband's tragic and untimely death, she was left widowed with three children to raise on her own.
Then there's Francine Rivers, the stern and accomplished head of the literary department. Also a single mom after her husband's affair with the nanny, she has overcome the resulting financial hardships, but only with unbearable sacrifice.
Compared to Hailey and Francine, drama agent Allie Moore's life seems much more carefree and uncomplicated. She relishes her success and loves working with the talented actors they represent - until a passionate relationship with one of her rising star clients threatens to derail her career.
Merriwether Jones is the CFO for the agency. She appears to have it all: beauty, success and a perfect marriage, until her husband's jealousy over her career threatens to blow everything up.
Even though she's a newcomer, Jane quickly realises that there are damaging secrets hidden behind the doors of Fletcher and Benson. As one of the youngest employees, she has the least power, but is also the least willing to accept things as they have been for years. When she puts everything on the line to right these wrongs, the consequences will leave no one unscathed.
In this riveting audiobook, Danielle Steel tells the story of a group of remarkable women navigating the challenges of balancing their families, their personal lives and the high stakes of ambition at the top of their game.

Could be better
Took me a while to get into this and I nearly gave up more than once , but In the end it was a good story, which I enjoyed
I felt the choice of narrator to be odd as I felt it should have been a woman as the majority of the characters are women and I found the narrators female voice to be irritating.

Excellent story
Another great DS novel. Good to see justice done, even in fiction. Interesting characters. Highly recommended.

boring
The narration was poor, it probably would have sounded better if it had a female narrator rather this male whose voice was totally monotone without any inflection.
The book was very dull and monotonous, long winded with often repeated sentences and phrases. It wasn't fast paced enough to warrant its title.
It just didn't do it for me

Boring and lacks substance
A boring roundabout story going from one women to another but with a distinct lack of depth to anything. Very repetitive and absolutely not worth wasting a credit on.
