"e;"e;If you pick up this book, you won't put it down....Collins fans will gobble up Rock Star."e; -VogueJackie Collins didn't just write about the rich and famous--she had a front-stage insider's view! When her husband ran nightclubs in London, top rockers often frequented and they'd bare their most salacious secrets to her, which she'd then weave into her stories. Combining these real-life experiences and her incredible imagination, she captures the raw, electric thrill of life in the spotlight in the pulse-pounding, page turner Rock Star!The legend, the comeback, and the rising star. . . Three talented, ambitious dreamers want rock and roll superstardom so badly they'll do anything and anyone to get it. There's English rocker Kris Phoenix, who's been chasing the dream since he was a teen. Once part of an up-and-coming duo, Kris is forced to cut his childhood friend loose when Buzz becomes a buzzkill to superstardom. Kris's career immediately skyrockets-but at what cost? Then there's country-western singing prodigy Bobby Mondella. The former child star lost his money, fame, and eyesight practically overnight, but now he's ready to bask in the limelight as he forges on a new path in the rock arena. Finally, there's lounge-singer Rafaella. She's endured a string of terrible tragedies that could have broken her but instead fueled her to propel beyond her past and her dysfunctional marriage, and soar to the top. All three hopefuls are hopelessly connected by the ruthless music manager Marcus Citrogen and his devious wife Nova, and could soon learn that the price of fame may just be just a bit too high in this pure adrenaline ride of a story that culminates in three climactic moments that satisfy readers as only a book by Jackie Collins can!

Autor

There have been many imitators but only ever one Jackie Collins. The iconic British author was called 'the definition of a class act' by Graham Norton and a 'smart, talented and gorgeous woman who paved the road for many of us' by Sandra Bullock. With millions of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with thirty-one international bestsellers to her credit, she is one of the world's top-selling novelists. Her first novel, The World Is Full of Married Men, was published in 1968 and established Jackie as an author who dared to step where no other female writers had gone before. Jackie was awarded an OBE in 2013 for her services to literature and charity. When accepting the honour she said to the Queen, 'Not bad for a school drop-out' - a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true. Jackie Collins lived in Beverly Hills where she had a front row seat to the lives she so accurately captured in her compulsive plotlines. She was a creative force, a trailblazer for women in fiction and, in her own words, 'A kick-ass writer!'
