This is the most amateur attempt at novel writing I have ever seen. I can't even get to the end of the book.

None of the characters are interesting or likeable. The plot is dull. The sex scenes are the MOST unsexy, unerotic and unsensual I have ever read. It is as if a 13 year old wrote them from inexperienced fantasy, not two senior citizens!

The worst thing is the historical inaccuracies. The introduction takes place in 1943 yet "souped up Mustangs and Harleys" are mentioned as well as "shark finned Coupe De Villes" WHAT? ATVs are mentioned in the early 60s. This is a RECENT term.

I bought this because I thought it would be good, fun escapist trash which I enjoy from time to time. It isn't.

I think the most insulting thing is that it is dedicated to Elvis! It is a cheap exaggerated rip off of his life. Note: One of the authors has done nothing but TRASH Elvis over the past 40 years anyway.

If the authors had been successful in their original careers, this book wouldn't have to have been written. I can't believe it was published!

I bought this book just before leaving on vacation. It proved to be the best of the 3 books I read on this trip and is a good read for anybody. I think the main character is based on Elvis and makes me much more interested in finding out what parts might be true and which were fictionalized. The writing is crisp and the book held me throughout. I would definitely recommend it.

Under rated, vivacious Stella Stevens proves she's still got all the right moves...even as an author! It's a hoot in the style of Sidney Sheldon and Jackie Collins...and is especially fun in its thinly veiled characterizations of some of the famous folks the author, herself, has known over her long and interesting career!
