From Booklist When rising politician Benjamin Knight gets married on a perfect summer day, the four women watching don't realize how prophetic the best man's toast for success is. And over the next 20 years, the women all forge their own ambitious careers: Zoebecomes a foreign affairs analyst, a career choice made in order to get as far from Ben as possible; Celia, Ben's sister-in-law, uses her beauty and talent to build a career in national television; Georgie, Ben's childhood friend, becomes a congresswoman; and Kate, Ben's college classmate, founds a national child protection organization following the murder of her daughter. When a dangerous hostage situation arises overseas in an election year, the current president announces he will not run again. A heated political race erupts, and Ben throws his hat in the ring. His decision draws the women back into his life as he makes a run for the presidency, with Zoeas an adviser, Celia as an ambitious reporter covering his opponent, Kate as a lobbyist for her group, and Georgie as a member of the opposition. The strength of friendship and old loves wavers as the mudslinging intensifies, and only the lucky ones will survive. A tight plot, political intrigue, and devastating secrets create a novel that Kensington is supporting with a $300,000 marketing campaign and a 150,000-copy first printing. Highly recommended.

From Kirkus Reviews Far too many characters mar what could have been an engrossing story of a ruthless presidential campaign. The upcoming election, year unspecified, in Mortman's latest (True Colors, 1995, etc.) might just as well be a reunion of the Yale Law School, class of 1960-something. Everyone here is, rather improbably, either a former classmate, related by blood, marriage, or--even less likely--the former lover of at least two other characters. Even the twin protagonists, foreign-policy expert Zo‰ Vaughn and Democratic presidential candidate Ben Knight, were college lovers at Harvard; a series of misunderstandings led to their breakup and Ben's marriage to Felicia, a relative of Zo‰'s best friend, the TV journalist Celia Porter. Now Felicia is dead (thanks to a car accident) and Ben wants Zo‰ to join his campaign: Trouble with the former Soviet Union and a kidnapping plot (which is almost as confusing as the character list) require a foreign policy expert with a firm touch, and Zo‰'s the tops. Meanwhile, popular Texas congresswoman and die-hard party supporter Georgie Hughes (a younger version of Ann Richards) is working for the Republican candidate Scottie Edwards; she's also part of an old circle of friends that includes Zo‰, Celia, Ben, and Kate Siegel. Kate is the grassroots founder of a popular organization called NOMORE, formed to keep people who've committed crimes against children in prison--and, as such, a valuable asset to any campaign. Zo‰ is determined to help Ben as best she can and, of course, would love to see Edwards lose. She's not quite prepared, however, for the rekindling of old flames. Fortunately for some, miserably for others, the past comes back to haunt just about everyone in this character- and subplot- packed book. A little pruning would serve Mortman well in the future.

By gailsam@juno.com I LOVE Doris Mortman's books...each and every one of them....especially TRUE COLORS...but what happened here???? Yes, she went with a new publisher but did she trade in her wonderful writing talent as well???? I cannot believe that she wrote this book...what a waste of time, talent and paper....I was so eager to get her book and was soooooooooo horribly upset and disappointed...could find not one redeeming factor....I hope that this will not be the way of future Doris Mortman books....sad. She was one of my very favorite authors....I bet I bought at least a dozen copies in hardbound and double in paperback of TRUE COLORS to give as gifts to friends...I loved that book so much...you could "see" the paintings in that book...please give us Doris Mortman back and not this imposter who "wrote" this one!!!!

By A Customer Friends since college, the six main characters of this book confront and/or relive their sexual past, create new lives for themselves, experience adult life together, and learn to forgive the past and nurture the future in this political thriller. Set throughout the United States and abroad this novel entertains the rich and glamorous lives of some, the hardships and disappointments they encounter, and teach us all that with the proper determination and drive, we can achieve anything we relish. Set during a presidential campaign during a massive hostage crisis, Mortman is at her best when her characters are struggling with their personal relationships while saving the world from disaster. This book will keep you up at night from page one...feeling as if the six characters are your college friends. It is easy to identify with the characters and understand the dilemmas facing them from page one.

I enjoyed this book but it is not one of her best. Some of the plot lines never really got fleshed out in my opinion and then all of a sudden, it's Election Day and the book is over. I felt like she could have built up the suspense a bit more.This was a great idea but she could have done a lot more with it. It doesn't compare to "The Wild Rose", which is my personal favorite. Mortman seems to know more about the political movements in Hungary than in her own country if you go by this novel.
