Format:Hardcover
I really enjoyed this authors first book but this one I really didn't enjoy that much at all. It just seemed the book equivilant of one of those trashy magazines that give you a insight into the lives of the rich and famous with really just about the same amount of depth and plot. It was very cliched and one dimensional and I really didn't care about or like the characters much. There was no feel good factor to this book (which I always think is good with a bit of escapist reading)It just left me feeling a bit icky (bit like eating a huge plate of pizza, seems like a good idea at the time but you wish you hadn't bothered afterwards!)Mabye I am just getting bored of that not much plot but maybe no one will notice if the characters fly to glamorous locations and we describe all their expensive outfits type of book.
There were lots of typo's too, very annoying isn't that someones job to check that sort of thing!

I have read Tasmina Perry's first book and before I give you the low-down I need to explain about the Genre of this book. It is a typical `Bonkbuster' which reminds me of the type of books Jackie Collins writes. This style of book isn't everybody's cup of tea but for those that do like it and were mad fans of Dynasty and the like will absolutely LOVE this type of book. It has everything a good Chick Lit book should have. Lust, Greed and most importantly glamour!
Based in London we meet Adam Gold who owns the hugely successful Midas Corporation. He is the type of man every woman could only dream about. He is successful, handsome, sexy and extremely powerful. What he doesn't realise is he is about to meet the `Gold Diggers'. The `Gold Diggers' come in the form of Karin, Erin, Molly and Summer. Karin is a successful swimwear entrepreneur and the thought of having handsome Adam on her arm is almost too much to bear. She is a woman who is known for getting what she wants and is always the boss. Her biggest rival is Molly who was a huge star in the 80's but her success is now fading. The only thing she is gaining as time goes on is an expensive drug habit and lifestyle that she cannot keep up with. Could Adam be the answer to her prayers? Molly's daughter Summer has never had a great relationship with her mother, due to the fact that Molly sees her as a burden. The tables are turned in Summer's favour when she lands a big contract that promises to make her the next `big thing'. Last but not least we meet Erin. She is the country girl who decides to move to London and ironically ends up working as a PA to the one and only Adam Gold. The story is the contest of a lifetime. Which one of the girls will finally snare the illustrious Adam Gold?
The book was an absolute corker! The writing was fantastic with the author taking up to the exotic locations of Monte Carlo, Lake Como, St Moritz and St Barts. We get to plunge head first into the world of the rich and famous. The thing I also love is that the author doesn't skimp. Tasmina Perry books are always pretty meaty and you get a real feel for all of the characters. This book is absolutely fantastic and I have no negatives about it at all. Just remember, Gold Diggers is like Marmite. You will either love it or hate it.
Since I am writing this review in October 2009, the following books have since been released:-

I've not read any of TP's other work and found this very boring. Seems to think that the endless designer name dropping makes for interesting reading. Not! Lacklustre plot poodles along and then throws in (poorly) a twist towards the very end, trying to turn the Chick Lit into a bit of a Who-dunnit... and very badly at that. Only good points are: (a) set in London and (b) good bed-time reading... for sending you off to sleep after just a couple of pages!

a page turning easy read
It is cliched but very readable and not too taxing on the brain. The characters are interesting enough, althought the ending was a little annoying. Read more
