Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Definitely not what I expected. It was superficial and crass, read like a teenager's first novel not an experienced author's. It was fast paced but I didn't its pushy attempt to be modern, or the language and context. ( ) Jackie Collins is my closet passion. Her books are easy reads and a nice break from real life. This one did not disappoint. Jackie Collins' usual sexy, steamy, scandulous reads. Back Cover Blurb: Cameron Paradise, a stunning twenty-four-year-old personal trainer, flees Hawaii and her abusive husband and makes her way to L.A. Tall, blond, with a body to die for, it doesn't take Cameron long to find a job at an exclusive private fitness club where she encounters LA's most important players. She has plans to open her own studio, and while every man she meets comes on to her, she is more focused on saving money and working hard than getting caught up in wild parties and recreational drugs. Until she meets Ryan Lambert, an extremely successful movie producer. Ryan has never cheated on his demanding Hollywood Princess wife, but when he meets Cameron, all bets are off..... Wow- this book came around and smacked me in the face! Such a trashy novel but I couldn't seem to put it down. I fell in love with all the characters and their overdone drama. The story seems to move by at a great pace and then you hit the end and it's all a clusterf***. I do wish the ending would have had a little more to it, I felt cheated. Other than the ending it proved to be an excellent, dare I say love, story. There are quite a few major characters but if your half human you will fall for the star, Cameron Paradise and her life story. She's a strong and independent woman (cliche, I know). If I were an English major, I'd probably have my degree rescinded when I say that I also really enjoyed the book....Sure it's formulaic - impossibly gorgeous and brilliant heroine, sleazy Hollywood types, and a bad guy eventually come together in a suspenseful climax - but I get completely into it. no reviews | add a review
