About this listen
Nick och Lauren har ett alldeles speciellt band. Han är uppväxt på fel sida samhället - hon är stadens vackraste tjej. Mot alla odds faller de som tonåringar handlöst för varandra och inleder en intensiv och strängt förbjuden kärleksaffär. Men det dröjer inte länge innan allt kulminerar i en oerhörd tragedi...
Långt senare är Nick på god väg att slå igenom som skådespelare i Hollywood och på andra sidan kontinenten gör Lauren entré i New Yorks modevärld. Succé och berömmelse väntar alldeles runt hörnet, men i deras gemensamma förflutna vilar en mörk hemlighet vars skugga aldrig vill försvinna. De har gjort sitt allra bästa för att kunna leva utan varandra. Vad händer om det inte går?

Jackie Collins (1937-2015) var en engelsk författare som framförallt var verksam inom romantik-genren. Hennes böcker har sålts i över 500 miljoner exemplar och översatts till 40 språk. Flera av dem har även filmatiserats. Romanen är ett uttryck för den samtid som den skrevs i, och kan i enstaka fall ha föråldrat eller kontroversiellt innehåll. Eventuellt stötande material är inte uttryck för förlagets hållning.

Story
A book that left burn marks on night tables across continents, Lovers and Gamblers has become a Collins classic. It features two of her most memorable characters: Al King, the rock-and-roll super-stud who is everything any sex-crazed groupie ever imagined her hero to be; and Dallas, the beauty queen whose sky-high ambitions stem from a sordid secret - the type that tabloids tingle to tell. Together, they're on a wild ride from London to New York, from Hollywood to Rio and the steaming jungles of the Amazon - where all their dreams and nightmares are about to come true.

Elaine Conti: Bronx girl turned Hollywood hostess, determined to relaunch her husband’s fading acting career back into orbit. Angel Hudson: Married to a hot young actor and an innocent beauty prey to Hollywood’s most unscrupulous men.

In her most scandalously titillating novel since the number-one best-selling Hollywood Wives, internationally renowned author Jackie Collins takes her listeners into the bedrooms of Hollywood's glamorous world of superstardom, where narcissism is a virtue and infidelity means not sleeping with anyone less attractive than your spouse. Divorce - Hollywood style - has never been more fascinating. The result is delicious fun.
