    About this ebook

    The long-awaited sequel to Sidney Sheldon's #1 New York Times bestselling masterpiece, Master of the Game

    In his spellbinding bestseller, beloved author Sidney Sheldon introduced the glamorous, scheming Blackwell family and its unforgettable matriarch, Kate Blackwell. Now a generation has passed, and as the world has changed, so too has America's royal family.

    The intervening years have not lessened the Blackwells' talent for manipulation, domination, and passion. The children of Kate's granddaughters are determined to control Kruger-Brent, Ltd., the multibillion-dollar international corporation with holdings in diverse industries around the globe. But only one can reign supreme.

    In a family rife with secrets—murder, hidden identities, perversions—and a depraved sense of honor, the player who wins the game may be the only one who can survive.

      liked book but liked sidney sheldons writing better
    • 4/5
      It was very good. A little too graphic in some areas (child prostitution scenes) but other than that glad that Sidney, like V.C. Andrews, will be living on. Thanks to his family for finding talent to keep his work alive.

      Sidney Sheldons's Mistress Of The Game by Tilly BagshawePublished by Harper CollinsISBN 978-0-06-172839-6At the request of Bestsellersworld, a PB was sent, at no cost to me, for my honest opinion.Review format at the request of Bestsellersworld.Matriarch, Kate Blackwell owner of Kruger-Brent, LTD an international multibillion dollar company, has died. Family members gather and attend the funeral but most of them are not in mourning, they are happy that she is no longer alive. And those members of this family have only one thought and that is who will be taking over as CEO of the company. In her will she named Alexandra, her granddaughter, to be her successor but Eve, Alexandra's twin will fight to take over even though Kate was adamant that she have nothing to do with Kruger-Brent. Eve plans to change that. Fortunately for Eve, her twin dies during childbirth, and thus starts the fight for control. She feels that "her" company was stolen from her, since Alexandra's children are next in line according to the will. Eve, once a beautiful woman, lives as a recluse because her plastic surgeon husband, Keith Webster, has taken her beauty away, during a procedure knowing this is the only way he can be sure she won't leave him. Eve, a very bitter and vengeful person, grooms her son for the takeover even if it means murder. The Blackwell family are like royalty, one of the richest families that there is but along with those riches come unthinkable terror. Lexi Templeton, daughter of Alexandra who died during childbirth, is kidnapped at the age of eight (8). Lexi is rescued but the horror she endured molds her life. This is a story of the Blackwell great grandchildren, the rich and famous, and fighting for control to become the next CEO. Along with the lavish lifestyle, this is a family of secrets, lies, betrayals, treachery, devious plotting and murder. Who will win? Who will take control? There is only one winner!!!
    • 3/5
      This book definitely held my interest. However, I found the ending to be quite disappointing. I don't know if it was left that way to set it up for another book or what but I just didn't like feeling like the villain won.
    • 3/5
      As a high school student I loved Sidney Sheldon's books. I was impressed at how similar this writer's voice is to Sheldon's. That said, I found the book to be long and drawn out. I began to skip through the book in order to reach the end.
    • 2/5
      Not even close to Sidney Sheldon
    • 4/5
      The sequel to "Master of the Game". The continuing story of The Blackwell Family, considered American royalty, one generation later. The time has come for a new family member to become head of the family business, turned empire, Kruger-Brent. Lexi Templeton is a ruthless, cunning beauty who's desire, turned obsession, is to follow in her great grandmother's footsteps. She lives and breathes for her one true love, Kruger-Brent. Max Webster, Lexi's cousin, will stop at nothing to make Kruger-Brent his and in return earn the ultimate love of his mother. The two become entangled in a game where there is no mercy and only the winner will be left standing. Gabe McGreggor, a little known descendant, is fighting his own battle to overcome the hatred of his family towards the Blackwells and to create his own fortune. Only to find himself being pulled head first deep down into the abyss that is Kruger-Brent. Deliciously entertaining characters forged into a game of manipulation. A brilliant plot full of twists evoking a love/hate relationship with the Blackwell family.
    • 4/5
      Keeps you to the edge of the seat till the end. Sidney is truly one of the best storytellers and he has lived up to the reputation.
    • 5/5
      Spectacular book
    • 2/5
      The book was okay as a stand alone. The inconsistencies with the first book (I read them back to back) ruined this one for me.
    • 5/5
      Amazing book. I couldn't stop reading. It is one of the best books by Sidney Sheldon
