Book Overview
Peach de Courmont -- Wild child, teenage temptress, exquisite woman. The adored granddaughter of Leonie and heiress to the de Courmont dynasty, she grew up in luxury, used to having life -- and love -- on her own terms. Noel Maddox -- Raised in an Iowa orphanage, used to the mean streets of Detroit, he fought his way from the assembly line the pinnacle of power. Peach --and the automobile empire she commanded -- were part of the dream he meant to have... at any price. From wartime Paris to the dazzling Cote d'Azue... from the frenetic boardrooms of Detroit and the palatial homes of Grosse Pointe to the stately English countryside, their indomitable wills collide in a saga of consuming passion and raw power played out against the backdrop of a rich and reckless world.

A family's saga
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The history of a family through the years. Before purchasing the book, I hadn't realized that part of the story would cover events taking part during WWII and some of the chapters were hard for me to read. But eventually the family survived and the feeling, by the end of the book, was a good one.
Entertaining reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The book may have had some faults in the writing process and storyline, but overall, it held my interest and even tho it was somewhat predictable, it was entertaining. It leaves a few holes and doesn't always jump around on cue, but the author lets you see and feel what the characters do. I didn't realize that it was a sequel to "Leonie", so it can be read on it's own merit and still be fun. Just read it and don't ask too much of the author! I now know that I want to read others that she has written.
