Product Description
A fun, sexy, chick lit novel written by a man? Women everywhere will want to meet Tom Perkins. This book has received National radio reviews, reviews in women's magazines e.g., "Cosmo", "Easy Living" and "Gratzia", as well as reviews in celebrity magazines e.g., "Heat" and "Now". When Steven Hudson, a wealthy widower in his late sixties, agrees to appear on a reality TV show with a group of beautiful twenty something gold diggers, romance breaks out where he least expects it. As the head of a somewhat stodgy old-money Wall Street firm, Steven's partners are against his decision to appear on the show, but his children, especially his ne'er-do-well son, Henry, support him. While Henry is smart, he's invented many clever applications for computers, he's lazy, and has never had to work a day in his life. But, if Henry can help out his father with the TV show, and end up with some of the girls who are eliminated from the show each week, how can that hurt? When Steven least expects it, love jumps up and smacks him between the eyes. Jessica James, the TV show's producer, is about thirty-nine, and a single mother with a teenage son. But, unlike the siliconed and perfectly toned babes vying for Steven's love, and wallet, she is a real woman who has lived life and knows what she wants. To her great surprise, Jessie discovers she wants Steven too, despite the thirty years separating them. But not before Steven is run through the mill of hot young things who are exhaustingly energetic between the sheets. Even Henry is in for an awakening when he discovers that there is more to life than rich food, expensive drink, fine clothes, fast cars, and gorgeous women. Everyone is fair game for Cupid's arrows. Funny, sexy, and at times deeply moving, this debut novel is sure to get the lion's share of attention when the author goes on tour. Ladies watch out!
About the Author
Tom Perkins is only a mega-millionaire, but years of counseling and therapy have allowed him to face his friends who actually are zillionaires. Some say that Perkins invented venture capital, funding numerous start-ups in the burgeoning computer industry back in the 1960s. Perkins is a partner in the San Francisco firm that bears his name, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. When Perkins received a letter inviting him to star in a new reality show with fifty of the most beautiful, most eager young women all competing to win his affection, he thought it was joke. The show was on the level, and although Perkins wasn't interested, it did strike him as a wonderful premise for a novel. Oh yes, he was also Danielle Steel's fifth husband.
