review 1: Firstly I’d like to thank Sophie at ed pr for sending me this paperback book to read and give an honest review. I was really looking forward to getting stuck in after reading and enjoying Bad Girls and Killer Heels by the same author. I love the distinctive covers on books by Rebecca Chance but this is my particular favourite as the heels are very similar to a pair I have in my own shoe collection.Set over the Christmas period, I quickly fell into the storyline. The characters were all appealing which made me want to know more about them – Melody seemed very lost and lonely and after reading about her life I instantly cared about her welfare, I just wanted things to go as she had planned. Aniela was fab, she was a straight-talker who ended up being one of my favour... moreite characters, her reaction to Jon was very amusing and I found myself hooked on their relationship throughout the whole book. Grigor’s obsession with Christmas was brilliant, he regularly made me smile with his festive singing and Christmassy decorating.Something else I really enjoyed were the inner thoughts – I always like to know what a character is thinking and what isn’t being said so this was a perfect addition for me. The book gave an interesting insight into the sleazier side of acting/football and the fascinating yet dangerous world of an assassin, the author successfully mixed all of these different scenes together and made it feel normal! The gathering on Christmas day was a good example of this, I loved seeing how everyone’s lives began to intertwine.The ending was really fast-paced and action-packed, it made my heart beat faster as I pictured the exciting scene unfolding before me and I wondered if it would finish in the way I hoped it would.This bonkbuster is not for the faint-hearted, it contains in-depth sexual scenes of all kinds including gay sex, this is something that I haven’t come across in many of the books that I’ve read but it was all well written and just added to the overall effect of the book. The author tackled many difficult subjects with ease and I was pulled into this dark yet glamorous world as though I had always been there.This is an alternative Christmas read with a dark and sexual edge, perfect for fans of the increasingly popular erotica genre.
review 2: Bad Angels is another naughty but nice read from Rebecca Chance. Set over Christmas and New Year, Bad Angels is full of the excitement and joy of the season, courtesy of Khalovsky and Limehouse Reach's concierge, Andy. Khalovsky is like an overgrown kid as he enlists Andy, who equally enjoys everything about Christmas, to transform the place into a winter wonderland with over sized trees, wreaths and a railway track to transport his guests' children around his vast apartment. I loved their energy and enthusiasm as they tried to engage those around them in the festivities.But Bad Angels isn't your typical fun festive read as Dasha Khalovsky goes on the rampage, plotting revenge and murder. I spent most of the book switches allegiances with Dasha. To begin with I thought she was a wonderful pantomime villainous bitch - witty, vengeful and used to getting what she wants but it soon transpired she was ruthless and more than a little unhinged. As mad as Dasha is, she creates some brilliant action packed chapters towards the end of the book.One of my favourite characters was the concierge, Andy. He is introduced quite gently to begin with as he helps Khalovsky transform Limehouse Reach for Christmas but I was pleased when he featured more and more and ended up with his own storyline. Alongside the elaborately rich and famous, Andy is normal and down to earth and, most important of all, secure in who he is. The one-sided rivalry between Andy and Khalovsky's PA, Sergei, was very amusing.I also really enjoyed Jon and Aniela's storyline and their blossoming relationship is rather sweet once you get past the rampant bedroom antics! Although Andy, Jon and Aniela's stories were my favourite, I didn't find any of the storylines or characters weak and enjoyed them all. less
