Power Trip (Collins) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
In Collins’s latest, five couples are invited aboard Russian billionaire Aleksandr Kasianenko’s yacht to celebrate the birthday of his supermodel girlfriend, Bianca.... After the guests spend days lounging and dining in luxury on the Sea of Cortez, the ship is stormed by pirates, leading to a fantastical denouement. Climbing aboard with this sea of extravagant creatures, whose sexual tastes lie on the fringe of raunchy, is abashedly rousing, and what more could one hope for from Collins?
Publishers Weekly


Starting with a bang...a steamy soap opera set on the Sea of Cortez.... [L]ots of romantic drama on the tropical waters, but readers familiar with Collins know to expect plenty of X-rated scenes. They also know to expect brief chapters that keep the story moving...and lots of surprises. Collins more than delivers on all fronts.
Library Journal


Readers come to [Collins'] books expecting sex, glamour, and a glimpse into the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and that’s precisely what her newest delivers.... Tp this romantic intrigue, Collins adds a hijacking plot so that the final act reads like an action movie, complete with high-speed boat chases and Somali pirates. Classic Collins at her best. —Patty Wetli

Collins returns with an impossibly glamorous cast vacationing on the Bianca, a yacht named for billionaire Russian businessman Aleksandr Kasianenko's mistress....
