Hollywood Wives: The New Generation: Power! Sex! Money! Fame! The new Hollywood Wives are back with a vengeance.Whatever they don't have, they want -- and whatever these women want, they get. Unlike their counterparts in the '80s, who were happy to give charity dinners and exclusive parties to further their husbands' careers, today's Hollywood wives are hungry to create their own identities. These ladies are into achieving everything their famous husbands have and more, and will stop at nothing for a chance in the spotlight. Ambitious, young, smart and lethal, the new Hollywood Wives are into yoga, fasting, spinning, Pilates, their own production companies, and making things happen.
My Thoughts: One thing I like about Jackie is that she brings back secondary characters from other books and weaves them in with the present storyline, making them primary characters. In this one we see Michael from Hollywood Kids get involved with one of the leading females and after knowing everything he went through in the last book, it's refreshing to see him happy. Another great read!

Lethal Seduction: Madison Castelli, the beautiful, street-smart heroine of Jackie Collins' L.A. Connections, returns in Lethal Seduction, an edgy novel full of danger, passion and suspense. Madison is having problems -- her ex-live-in lover who walked out on her is trying to walk back in. Her new lover is giving her a hard time. And her father turns out to be a man with deadly secrets. Set between the high-powered world of New York and the manic excitement of Las Vegas, Lethal Seduction is packed with all the intrigue and glamour fans have come to expect from Jackie Collins. This deliciously uninhibited tale of cover-ups, deception and mob involvement finds Jackie Collins at the height of her creative powers as the diverse cast of characters in Lethal Seduction take an exhilarating walk on the wild side, where nothing is ever exactly as it seems and danger is all around them.
My Thoughts: I always call her books my "trashy reading" and anyone who's read a JC book knows what I mean, but she's really an incredible writer. She's given me inspiration for my own "boyband" manuscript (Still Waters Run Deep).

Lovers & Gamblers: Al King, the rock-and-roll super stud who is everything any sex-crazed groupie ever imagined her hero to be; and Dallas, the beauty queen whose sky-high ambitions stem from a sordid secret—the type that tabloids tingle to tell. Together, they're on a wild ride from London to New York, from Hollywood to Rio and the steaming jungles of the Amazon—where all their dreams and nightmares are about to come true.
My Thoughts: I liked the suspence and drama of this story!
