People think 50 Shades of Grey was scandalous? Well Chance didn't go so far into SMDM, but this book can be seen as a appetiser for James' books. I wasn't particularly impressed with the writing, it read like a Jerry Springer show towards the end and honestly the drama is so entertaining I couldn't help but it give it a three. Reading 50 Shades? Give this book a chance for some more hot and spicy English writing that wouldn't ask you to think too hard. This book follows the fortunes of three sisters, Maxi, Deeley and Devon. They all share a dark secret one which had to be buried to ensure the success they have built for themselves.Each chapter follows one of the characters, the ruthless Maxi, TV cookery hit Devon and the Hollywood princess Deeley.A terrible chain of events is set into motion when Deeley is sent packing from her comfortable Hollywood lifestyle and appeals to her sisters for help. Both are reluctant, their younger, needy sister will cramp their style.All three of the characters are flawed and as the story progresses experience problems, Maxi is not as happy as she would have everyone believe, Devon's success is built om smoke and mirrors and her marriage is failing and Deeley has no idea what she is doing and where she fits in.The action moves quickly and is easy to read and the end of the novel is a good reveal and a surprise but in keeping with the novel. I enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it, it is chick-lit at it's finest, a good does of intrigue and tragedy, a fair dollop of sex and angst and a happyish ending.
What do You think about Donne Con Il Tacco 12 (2012)?
Found it absolutely boring. Had to force myself to read it till the end.
