Product Description
Lovers is pure Krantz, an intoxicating dance of love lost, stolen, and found among women and men who lure each other with potent combinations of money, talent, ambition, and passion. Chief among them is irresistible Gigi Orsini, the high-spirited, merry, adventurous creature who grew up into enchanting womanhood in Scruples Two. Now Gigi is working as a copywriter in a new Los Angeles advertising agency, with her creative "teammate," David Melville, a brilliant young art director who joins her in seeking new accounts. The agency is headed by dashing Archie Rourke, humorous Byron Bernheim and the severely difficult beauty, Victoria Frost, daughter of the famed Millicent Frost Caldwell who, with her husband Angus Caldwell, owns one of New York's largest advertising agencies. Ben Winthrop, a proper Bostonian and an enormously successful mall builder, attempts to capture Gigi's quicksilver affections, although his fierce contenders for the same prize include both David Melville and the dominating film director, Zach Nevsky. Meanwhile, Billy Winthrop Ikehorn Orsini Elliott, the unforgettably impulsive heroine of Scruples, and her new husband, the great charmer, Spider Elliott, are busy with their own fascinating lives, as are Gigi's father, canny film producer Vito Orsini, and her best friend, the ravishing Sasha Nevsky, none of whom can be forgotten from Scruples and Scruples Two. Lovers completes all the stories set in motion in the first two novels, yet it stands entirely on its own as a slice of life in the exciting years of 1983 and 1984.

long live Scruples sequels!, 1999-08-09
While Lovers did not seem to hold my attention as well as Scruples I and II, I loved returning to these colorful characters.... couldn't buy Sasha and Vito. But I still loved it!
Very Good!!, 1998-09-15
Lovers is a "sequel" to Scruples 2. I like it a lot, but I didn't like it as much as Scruples 2. You read about Gigi and Vito, Sasha, Zach and Billy and Spider. Lovers is a more subdued version of Scruples 1 and 2. Some parts are boring, while others soar. The relationship between Sasha and Vito is a bit far-fetched as far as I'm concerned, but it's a good read overall.

Excellent, top-quality sequel to the Scruples series, 1997-04-21
The book takes the reader right back into the lives of Billy Ikehorn and Spider. In this sequel, we are re-introduced to the lovely Gigi, and given a whirlwind tour of her many affairs, work-wise and other-wise. My only complaint to Ms. Krantz is that she seems to arbitrarily knock key characters off at the drop of a hat. However, that is her right as the author, and it does little to detract from the building excitements in the tale
