When
I first looked at the cover of “Rich & Famous” by Roberta Grimes and saw the
white limousine and what appears to have been ankle-restraints in the
lower-right corner, I began to fear the book I was about to review would turn out
to an Erotica novel. Luckily this didn’t
turn out to be the case here, and I’m grateful she go on to give us any details
when it came to her sex scenes, which is something the all of us, if not most,
should have experienced during our lives at some point or other.
Her
main character, Kim, seem to me to be sort of a conundrum in that while she had
become extremely successful in business, and had a type of a boyfriend almost
any woman would wish could be hers; at times she seemed to lacking a total understanding
of what was going on. Other than this
Ms. Grimes’ complex character development of Kim is quite good. Using a
“flashback” to tell us what happened to Kim at age 13 and her youth I feel had
been placed perfectly in the storyline.
However,
if we look at this author’s storyline as a cross-country trip, she took off on
side-trips for a brief moment to visit, but never returned to give us more of
it, resulting in us not really knowing anything; just as us driving by a
tourist attraction without stopping to go in.
Her
“visit” to discussions of margins and business plans/reasons for holding to the
company she owned could have been eliminated without any lost to the actual
storyline itself as it didn’t add anything to it.
How
many of us can remember watching “LifeStyles of the Rich & Famous” with
Robin Leach and wondered what else is it like. Well Ms. Grimes’ book takes us
there, and shows us it’s not all as it appears to be. “Rich & Famous” is a
decent read which should be looked into, which is why I’ve given 4 STARS.
This
review has been my honest opinion for a paperback copy of the book I’ve
received from a GiveAway on Goodreads.
