Headline Review
review 1: Overall, I thought the author gave a great storyline to the reader by explaining Kate's life and how she became rich and the incidents that occured in her life. However there were two faults in this novel, to me as a reader. Firstly, I am a fan of romance in novels but I found that there were two many sex scenes in the book, the character Marcus Broder was portrayed to us as a sex addict, as long as he had someone to satisfy him with sexual pleasure when he came home from work, he was happy. Secondly, fashion seemed to be very up market and the book would not be suited for women who are not familiar with brand names. I felt that I skimmed down through the page when the author was describing "Jimmy Choos" and "Prada". I love the book as it shows readers that having money an... mored fame is not all set out to be. I would read other books by this author.
review 2: Oh dear what is happening with Louise Bagshawe.She has been a favourite author of mine for years but it seems her writing and storylines are going downhill.This was pretty much the same as A Kept Woman one of her earlier books...which is absolutely fantastic!Even the names were similar....Diana Foxton (A Kept Woman) Kate Fox in this one.I could have forgiven the duplicate storyline if the writing and characters had been as good as they were in A Kept Woman but they really werent.I only finished reading it because of my loyalty to this author but I really hope her newer books are going to start getting better because the last couple havent been very good. less

Very light read. Money does not always buy happiness.
