Although many of the same characters appear again from her previous book "Riders", a whole new cast of characters are introduced. This book, like the authors other books had multiple plots going on for each character that eventually were intertwined. With the same attention to detail as in her earlier books, each character is well developed and easy for the reader to relate to and understand. By the end of the novel, the reader feels that they really know each character. Although the novel has some hot and steamy love scenes, it appeared much tamer than Riders. Overall, a good read, although I enjoyed Rider's more, likely due to the horse aspect. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars one star is being kind *by E***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2005* Remember the Monty Python skit about "upper class twits"? Well, those made the characters in this book look like Mensa members. Actually, there are no characters here, just caricatures. I grasp that this is supposed to be some kind of "fun, trashy read" but that is no excuse for sacrificing plot entirely. By the time I read 50 pages, I still didn't know what this book was about. I'm not entirely sure the author did either. I got the feeling that she just kept putting description after description of beautiful people, intermixed with the occasional bawdy joke in front of her until she filled up the designated number of pages to qualify it for a "book."Do you like people screaming at each other constantly about totally minor matters? A huge cast that is gorgeous and rich but not in the least intriguing? Children who pitch a fit when they can't watch porn? Then you are going to LOVE this book!Apparently, this book is a bestseller in Britian. Obviously, there is a culture gap here. A big one. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars a book that's hard to put down *by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2011* This book features Rupert Campbell-Black after he retires from show-jumping. I really like the new setting, in the world of television. It's a very flashy and glamorous plot, with a lot of drama. It's almost like watching a soap. Just like Riders, it's a book that's hard to put down.I really like how Rupert Campbell-Black finally falls in love and abandons his playboy lifestyle, and the happy ending. However, I think it is too much of a change in his character. Taggie is not particularly witty, in fact, she's kind of a wallflower in my opinion. She's beautiful but her personality is rather plain. The only thing her and Rupert talks about is what's going on and how much they love each other. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/38482830-players-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/38482830-players-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
