Book Reviews of Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story

Book Review: Juicy & gossipy. I thought I stumbled into one of Kitty Kelley's
Summary: 3 Stars

hatchet jobs. Strange that all the so called friends of Jackie & RFK had no problems spilling their guts to the parasite C.David Heymann. Apparently Jackie would do anyone who had some $$$. I guess there was a price for admission. She was extremely high maintenance & the money was tied up for the kids. Even Bobby couldn't afford her. Aristotle Onasis could & did, as well as providing security for her & the kids. Apparently she caught the promiscuity disease that the Kennedy men are famous for.
Mr. Heymann leaves the impression, probably true, that Jackie & Bobby were deeply in love. A love both of them must have known would fail. That didn't keep either one of them from sleeping around while they were waiting for each other. Bobby Kennedy was a serial cheat in that fine tradition of his brother & father. Meanwhile, he was able to keep Ethel pregnant with their 11 children. What a man!
It is a guilty pleasure I & was hoping for some historical content. There was a little mostly about Bobby presidential aspirations. But Mr. Heymann never lost sight of his goal: to titillate us. This is Mr. Heymann's fourth book on the Kennedys. He needs to stop feeding off of them.

Summary of Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story

From the New York Times bestselling author of American Legacy, RFK, and A Woman Named Jackie, an in-depth look at the much talked-about -- but never fully revealed -- relationship between Jackie Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy

Few writers have immersed themselves in the world of the Kennedys as completely or successfully as C. David Heymann, whose biographies of Jackie, Robert, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Caroline together have sold millions of copies and have shed light on the private lives of the most prominent members of this iconic American family. Now he draws on more than two decades' worth of personal interviews, as well as previously unavailable reports and briefs from the Secret Service and the FBI, to create a complete picture of the complex relationship that existed between two of the most heralded figures of the twentieth century.

Americans have long been fascinated by the rumored love affair between Jackie Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy. With Bobby and Jackie they will finally get more than a glimpse of their emotional and romantic connection. An open secret for decades among family insiders, their affair began as a result of their shared grief over the assassination of the president in 1963 and lasted until Bobby began his run for the Demo-cratic presidential nomination in 1968.

Readers will gain behind-closed-doors access to Bobby and Jackie's liaison, from late-night trysts at Jackie's Fifth Avenue apartment to fervent embraces at the Kennedy estate in Palm Beach. They will also learn more about the deep friendship that grew out of the couple's shared tragedies, their family loyalty, and their overflowing ambition.

It was "perhaps the most normal relationship either one ever had," Truman Capote observed. "In retrospect, it seems hard to believe that it happened, but it did." Poignant, illuminating, and enormously entertaining, Bobby and Jackie is a glorious account of a legendary romance.
