HTML:From #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen comes a simmering, sensual story of a powerful man who will do anything to capture the voiceand heartof a talented soprano. Jason Hayes isnt used to hearing the word nonot from performers, not from critics, and certainly not from women.

Beautiful Daisy Justine is playing Fantine in a Geneva Switzerland production of Les Miserables, when she’s discovered by Broadway composer Jason Hayes. He’s a famously reclusive genius, who feels certain Daisy is the perfect soprano to star in his new work. Of course she can’t possibly leave her ailing stepfather, so she refuses. But Jason Hayes is smitten and won’t give up; he always gets what he wants. Except ….
Okay that’s enough. It’s just a ridiculous romance based on the lyrics of several Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. Seriously. (Even the title is an ALW song from Song and Dance.) As schlocky as using Webber lyrics for dialogue is, Johansen’s own attempts at writing anything original are even worse. Good Heavens, but she’s repetitious, unimaginative, stilted and unbelievable. (And it seems she uses “Good Heavens” on every other page …)
Pamela Dillman’s performance on the audio version is dismal. Granted she had s**t for material, but her over-acting, especially when voicing Jason Hayes had me rolling my eyes, sighing aloud and itching to throw something.
It’s one of the worst books ever written and was a complete waste of my time. Oh well, at least it’s over and it fulfilled several challenge tasks. Save yourselves and read something else.
