FAN-FLAMIN-TASTIC
I have loved every single one of this lady's books and she is the only author that could steal Jackie Collins' crown as the queen of the blockbuster. This book has everything, super bitches, sexy men, daring heroines and bagfulls of drama that keeps you hooked from the very first page. Her characters may lead priviledged lives, but they don't get away with leading charmed ones, as Perry injects twist after twist throughout this meaty blockbuster. So much more than chick-lit! MORE PLEASE!

Best book I've read in a while.
If you like your "Chick Lit" and have never read Tasmina Perry before I would definately recommend this one. It tells the story of Cassandra Grand and Emma Bailey, cousins who fight for the one thing that their uncle left behind in his will, the Millford empire. The whole book is a thoroughly enjoyable read and you manage to get straight into the story from chapter one. The characters are not perfect but you end up loving them anyway. I read one of her previous books by chance and thought maybe it was a one off but can assure those of you that haven't read this one that's not the case. Great read!!!

A Guilty Pleasure
After the dissapointment of Gold Diggers I was a little aprehensive about this 3rd book by the author (Daddys Girls being fabulous)but I need not have worried. From the very first page it had me hooked. The characters were strong, the story lines ebbed and flowed and joined seamlesly. If it is high glamour and luxury you are after then this book is it.
