My next book.. by Jackie Collins



Here's a little excerpt from the book:

Denver Jones is a hotshot twenty-something attorney working in L.A. Carolyn Henderson is personal assistant to a powerful and very married Senator in Washington with whom she is having an affair. And Annabelle Maestro—daughter of two movie stars—has carved out a career for herself in New York as the madame of choice for discerning famous men. The three of them went to high school together in Beverly Hills—and although Denver and Carolyn have kept in touch, Annabelle is out on her own with her cocaine addicted boyfriend, Frankie.

Then there is Bobby Santangelo Stanislopolous, the Kennedyesque son of Lucky Santangelo and deceased Greek shipping billionaire, Dimitri Stanislopolous. Bobby owns Mood, the hottest club in New York. Back in the day he went to high school with Denver, Carolyn and Annabelle. And he connected with all three of them. Frankie is his best friend.

When Annabelle’s beautiful movie star mother is found shot to death in the bedroom of her Beverly Hills mansion, the five of them find themselves thrown together . . . and secrets from the past have a way of coming back to haunt everyone. . . .

A new, sexy, and explosive novel from perennial bestseller Jackie Collins.

Biography

In the world of sensational fiction, Jackie Collins is considered the Queen of Trash, the Duchess of Dirty Books. It might be easier to dog-ear the pages in her novel that don't have a steamy bedroom interlude. But even more than sex, the characters in her show-biz soap operas lust after something else: power.


I've been a fan of Jackie Collins for a very long time.

I've always said when Spring/Summer rolls along that it's time to read a Jackie Collins book! Why? Many reasons. They are easy to read books that are fast page turners.

The characters are easy to attach to and makes you connected right away.

Her stories tend to be a bit on the racy side, but not raunchy either. So for those that don't care to read on the heavy romantic, in detail side, then set this one aside.

However, if you're a huge fan, then you won't be disappointed with her latest book.

This book, like her other books have a few main characters in the book. Each chapter will be specifically set aside for their story with the other characters fit into each together.

I sort of attached myself more to "Denver" in this book. Not that we share anything similar by any means, but she was possibly the most down to earth character. She fit into the worlds of all the other main characters and it made her likable.

This was an easy read as I've said. One of my favorite parts of the book was that she brought Lucky Santangelo and her son Bobby into this book (from the Lucky series - also a must read. It was good to connect to them again in another story line. Good book; good reading. Won't disappoint.

Happy Reading!
