Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
In peak form, Steel examines the effects of power on the lives of male and female CEOs in this insightful, all-too realistic novel. Divorcée Fiona Carson has only two priorities in her life: her two children and her corporation. Other than those focuses, her life might as well be spent in a convent. Her concern at the moment is finding the person on her board of directors who is leaking sensitive information to the press. CEO Marshall Weston is her opposite. He splits his out-of-office time between his two families: his wife and his three nearly grown children and his mistress and their seven-year-old twins. Marshall is able to keep all the balls in the air until a cancer-surviving former employee claims he bedded her and then fired her, and she’s ready to tell her story to the press. Suddenly Marshall is on the denial trail, trying to keep his private life from imploding. Steel forthrightly juxtaposes the private lives of Fiona and Marshall to dramatize just how differently men and women handle corporate power and personal responsibility. --Pat Henshaw

Reading a good Danielle Steel book is like eating comfort food. And this book was one of her best!
I read my first book by her over 30 years ago and have read many more through the years. I strayed for awhile - been reading a lot of Marie Force's books (love her). But I hope Danielle Steel continues writing books as good as Power Play.

Power Play by Danielle Steel is the story of two successful and powerful captains of industry whose lives are poles apart. It is a parallel story of ambition, trust and morality brilliantly told. Fiona Carson and Marshall Weston have a lot in common. They both are ambitious, brilliant, committed, shrewd, hardworking and successful. They both are leaders in their own rights. In a way, both are broken and searching for happiness.
However, one is a woman and the other a man. One is based in Palo Alto and the other is based out of San Francisco. Forty-nine years old Fiona Carson is divorced and the mother of two college-going students. She is committed to her job as a CEO of a tech company as much as she is committed to her children. On the other hand, Marshall Weston leads a double life. One of them involves a mistress who is thirty-year-old, Ashley. She lives with their twin daughters in Malibu. His legal wife Liz lives with their three children in Marin. But a chain of events set off by Marshal Weston's uninhibited lifestyle threatens to reveal and destroy everything.
Power Play by Danielle Steel is a fascinating and mesmerizing look at the lives of two diametrically opposite characters. It is deep, thoughtful and engrossing.

Terrible grammar. I cannot believe that the editor's allowed this, it was awful. The sentences were incomplete and it seemed as if every other sentence started with the word "And". She repeats the same things over and over multiple times what the characters are thinking which was very repetitive.

Typical romance novel fare. Fun but predictable plot. Enjoyed it - was in the mood for a book that didn't require any thought.

I am sorry but I feel Danielle Steel (much as i love her) has not changed her story line. Of course, if it works don't change it and it has worked for so many years why should she change it now. Only thing I see her changing is the names, times, locations but she is using the same formula she has used for years. Keep hoping each time a new novel comes out it will be fresh and different,...but it isn't.

I like most Danielle Steele books but what happened to this one. The story bounces all over and I really don't understand why she thought it would flow together. There's to many stories without enough depth in any of them. Huge waste of money.

Enjoyable read. Was too short - I wanted it to go on a bit longer! I would recommend reading it if you are a Danielle Steel fan.
