Product Description
Never get between a girl and her diamonds ...Stunning good looks, a gorgeous fiance, a limitless trust fund: London's leading It Girl Lola Fitzsimmons leads a charmed life, a pampered princess whose rich father funds her every whim. Evie Lopez is just as beautiful, but she's had to work her own way up life's greasy pole - literally. Now she's hooked herself an indulgent sugar daddy, Evie has abandoned her pole-dancing career, swapping New York's seedy strip bars for a luxury Manhattan penthouse. But Lola and Evie are on a collision course with their nemesis. When Lola's father falls into a coma, her ruthless stepmother Carin seizes control of the purse strings - and cuts off her stepdaughter without a penny. Then Carin evicts Evie, her husband's mistress, from her fabulous love-nest and adds insult to injury by stealing her diamonds. It's riches to rags overnight. And, although they have every reason to dislike each other, Lola and Evie must team up if they are to defeat their common enemy: Carin, the Ice Queen. As the girls get to know each other, they realise this might be fun. Let battle commence ...

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I can't say how excited I was when I found out that one of my favorite authors was finally turning her hand to my favorite escapist genre - the bonkbuster - under the pseudonym Rebecca Chance. And I must say I'm not disappointed: this novel has it all - glam locations, beautiful (anti)heroines, a sexy, brooding love interest, loads of sex, shopping, backstabbing and bitching. I won't go into the story (you'll have to read it for yourself), save to say I loved how Lola grew (slightly) more human over the course of the events. And I LOVED Jean Maurice and David!! The only thing that was wrong with this book was, in my opinion, that Evie's side of the story slowly fizzled out. i would have liked to have gotten to know her better - the burlesque act was inspired and Lawrence is a great character, but I would've loved to know Evie more and to really watch her grow, like Lola. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. But I'll definitely be buying the sequel - and so should you!

I enjoyed this book immensely and if you liked riders or Jackie Collins grab a copy now!
Lola Fitzgerald has everything, pin up boyfriend, tabloid celebrity lifestyle and a pin-up boyfriend, that is until her trust fund is frozen and the locks have been changed, her boyfriend is in the papers for all the wrong reasons and the people she once thought of as friends are busy stabbing her in the back and making money out of her misfortune. Lola has to learn to stand on her own two feet and find out some real lessons about life.
Evie on the other hand, the other lead female is street wise and used to having to do unspeakable things to squeak by, that was until she met a sugar Daddy who met her every desire, sadly he is now ill and she too is out on the street. Whilst she is well explored she seems to become a more minor character in the end but expect to see her burlesque act on tour in a follow up.
The characters are spot on, the dialogue well observed and the action relentless. Towards the end I found I was greedily devouring the book to see how it would all turn out as the characters find themselves in ever more disastrous scenarios. A perfect read for holidays or for some wonderful escapism, a solid debut.

I could not put this book down especially in the middle, one night i came home from work.. started to read a few pages and by the time I had put it down it was 3am! Such a page turner. Its quite sad really but i ended up reading the whole book in four days!! that's how hard it was to put down.The ending was very predictable but after all the twists and turns through the book I enjoyed the simple ending. This is a great read.
