Not Bad
I have read a few Louise Bagshawe books and my Mum recommended this to me. I really enjoyed it. I read it really quickly and the only negative that I had was that it was a bit predictable. I liked that the story flashed back to the main characters childhood, I felt that this background was essential to allow you to understand the characters fully. A good read.

Kama Sutra By The Numbers
I purchased Tilly Bagshawe's "Adored" [...]. I purchased it because I wanted to read something in the "romance" gendre that was not decorated with Fabio on the cover and a large brightly colored sticker announced it was one of the "Buy one and get one free" books.

Despite what Ms. Bagshawe's agent thinks, Tilly is not the next Nora Roberts. Her sex scenes are more like "Kama Sutra By The Numbers" than they are sensuous; her emotional descriptions leave the reader flat ("Siena was scared shitless"); her physical descriptions are more hygienic than descriptive ("she had a well-coiffed bush").

But...and it is a MAJOR but...I read it from page 1 to page 500-something and was enthralled wondering what evil, selfish and nasty things the characters were up to. It was always "what comes next?".

In some prurient way, I quite enjoyed it...but I will not run out to buy Ms. Bagshawe's next effort.

putdownable!!
Having begun reading Louise Bagshawe at the age of 15 and then waiting with baited breath for each new book, when i saw this by Tilly i though i would give it a go. However i was sorely disappointed. The book has no real plot, no explosive story lines or sinister plots. It is simply the life of three people from birth to adult with a few difficulties thrown in. I wouldn't even swap my life as a nurse for the movie stars in this book! The only reason that i actually bothered to finish it was in the hope that something worth reading would happen. Tilly most definately does not share the talent with her sister and if you want an unputdownable read this is not a good choice.
The synonym "her heart shattered like an egg in a microwave" speaks for itself really doesn't it!!
