Customer Reviews

Phew, what a scorcher! - throughly recommended
As a man, one of the guilty pleasures was always picking up your girlfriend's bonkbuster on a summer holiday and having a sneaky read. You soon realised what you were missing out on, good writing, unabashed entertainment, characters with the morals of skunks, but man, did they have a good time!

The best of them were pacy, raunchy and endlessly funny. Over the last decade, the fun seems to have gone out of good quality commercial women's fiction. Perfectly good books, but a lot of angst-ridden, self-obsessed heroines chasing rather drippy men who really needed a good slap. Dull, dull, dull...

Enter Jo Rees and PLATINUM, like a bullet.

Here is a sassy, sexy and rollocking-good read, full of dramatic turns and wickedly funny scenes. Thank god!

Three women - a blonde, a brunette and a redhead - it had to be - all out to get the same villain. Written with real vim and a sharp turn of phrase and nice plotting, the grande dames of this genre, better hold on to their girdles as Ms Rees is about to come roaring through.

Rees reinvents the novel for our generation and pull no punches. A real star-turn. Thoroughly recommended fun for gals and guys. A must for your summer hols.

Completely brilliant!
I loved every page of this raunchy, exciting bonkbuster. Great female characters wearing fabulous clothes and getting up to all sorts - but they were realistic too, unlike women in other books like this. Frankie, Peaches and Emma are great women who you wish were your friends. Stayed up all night finishing it and can't wait for this author's next book!!

The perfect bonkbuster!
I was hoping for a raunchy, exciting, page-turning romp and I was fully satisfied on all counts! Platinum is brilliant - three women's stories intertwined from Russia to America, with only one man and a desperate desire for revenge in common. You must buy this book now - it's the best read of the summer!
