Webs of Power is a raw, unsentimental portrayal of greed, manipulation, and relationships set in the excessive, insatiable retail industry of the 1980s.

When a hostile takeover of the retail giant Consolidated is announced, the lives of three determined women, each linked to the corporate upheaval, are unexpectedly thrown off course: Paige Toddman's marriage to Consolidated's West Coast Division CEO is threatened when she decides to step out of her fast-paced lifestyle to raise the unwanted child she is carrying, a choice driven by her secret past. The fabric of Ashleigh McDowell's life begins to fray when her fiance, the president of Consolidated's West Coast Division, moves away and her father figure faces a lawsuit that could wipe out his controlling shares of the company s stock. Vain and power hungry, Viviana De Mornay will stop at nothing to become the wife of the man leading the takeover.

Webs of Power is a thrilling real-world drama with dynamic characters who find the courage to drastically reshape their lives in the face of crises and the twists of fate.

Entertaining Read

I love to read books that are character driven however in the past few years I have picked up more books and then put them down after the first few chapters than I can count. That was certainly not the case with "Webs of Power". I couldn't put this book down. That is the biggest compliment I can give to an author. I don't know how many times I would tell myself just one more chapter and then five chapters later I was still reading.

I don't know anything at all about the corporate world and I was afraid that I would be lost trying to understand what was going on. I have to say that Darlene Quinn did an amazing job of explaining it and making it interesting. I really enjoyed her writing style and the way that the story flowed.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys books with strong characters both male and female weaved into fast paced well written storyline.

A Jackie Collins Story

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2010

This is really a soap opera in written form. The situations are similar to many other stories and the characters not the most loveable. The backstory is interesting...the retail world, but the author really does not make the parts of the story work, for me. It is an easy read that will give you glimpses into the glamour of business and power, but is really not one I would recommend if you only have time for one book to read. However, I have passed it on and many thought it quite enjoyable. The emphasis is on the worst traits of the human condition just for shock value.

A Well-Woven Tale

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2008

Think leveraged buyouts and hostile takeovers are dull business-page news? Think again. Webs of Power, a drama of love, secrets, betrayal and danger, will hold you spellbound as it explores the turbulent world of fashion merchandising in the 1980's. When a corporate raider attacks a mercantile empire, the lives of three strong women and the powerful men they love are thrown into upheaval. How they respond, and the interwoven events they set in motion, makes for a fast-paced, absorbing story with plenty of surprising turns. Darlene Quinn knows the world of department stores and fashion management; her surefooted depiction of people and places makes you feel like an insider in a high stakes game. Shopping at Macy's or Bloomingdale's may never feel the same.

I enjoyed WEBS OF POWER very much. It showed me a part of this world that I didn't really know that much about.

Facto-fiction book predictable

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2012

Although the subject matter of the book, retail department stores, was novel, the storyline was predictable. I would have enjoyed a non-fiction account, without the Danielle Steele storyline.

Another Gripping Tale in the World of Retail

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2015

With every new book in the Webs series, Ms. Quinn gets better and better. I especially like the way she brings back familiar characters and keeps them relevant, until their stories have reached a natural conclusion. I also appreciate how she introduces new characters that become the focus of each book. There are a couple of rather nefarious guys in this book that made me grit my teeth, but without them, the story would not have been complete. In Webs of Power, I found several subliminal messages – each making specific points about ethics, integrity, and life itself. And once again, at the end of the book, she shares her insight into the past, present and future of the retail industry. I find this very interesting and it adds clarity to the story itself. I have a feeling Ms. Quinn wasn’t one to mess with when she was at the height of her retail career. I say that because she loves strong women characters and knowledge of that kind of strength comes only from experience. Once again, I eagerly anticipate the next installment of the Web series.
