Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Together they move to New York to start their married life together: Diana busies herself with throwing lavish parties, becoming the most glittering jewel on the Manhattan social circuit, while Ernie finds his own pleasure--sacking swathes of people from their jobs at Blakeley's, the publishing house he has recently taken over. Never happier than when plotting a business rival's downfall, Ernie finds a suitable target in Michael Cicero, a handsome native New Yorker who has single-handedly built up his own small children's publishing company from scratch. The reader wonders whether Michael will realise Ernie's business dealings are less than scrupulous in time and whether Diana will remain content in her loveless but lucrative marriage.
Packed with passion, society parties and platinum card shopping sprees, fans of Louise Bagshawe will no doubt enjoy this tale of love, lust and boardroom intrigue. --Emily Lowson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Bagshawe goes back to what she's best at,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Kept Woman (Paperback)
Louise Bagshawe is a great young Chick Lit novelist who was around long before the twentysomething female writer was fashionable. The good result of this is that she doesn't write first-person, wingeing, I'm-on-a-diet drivel. Her first 3 books were sexy bonkbusters in an 80s tradition, though the heroines were young and 90s in their tastes and sympathies. Then she did 'Venus Envy' - her go at a Bridget Jones-style girl-about-town book, but thankfully here she has gone back to her traditional roots and produced another blockbuster.The book reminded me very much of her brilliant first novel, 'Career Girls.' The plot is fast-paced, the heroine is gorgeous and she falls for the classic Bagshawe hero - he is dark, handsome, magnetic, powerful and dominating. The chemistry between them simply sizzles, though Bagshawe, perhaps responding to a few criticisms of her earlier work, has reduced her sex scenes to 3 per book (rather than the 30 or so you get in her early work). Also woven into the plot is a gripping read about publishing politics and business board-room cliff-hangers. The book somehow isn't quite as sparky or energetic as 'Career Girls'. Her style has matured but it has also become more subdued and her pace slower. Even so, it's still a great read. What shines out is the author's ability to draw you in and keep you turning pages - she is utterly addictive.

To clarify!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Kept Woman (Paperback)
A Kept Woman is the UK version of For All The Wrong Reasons, therefore this is the book about Diana Verity. The title was changed in other markets. As someone who has read all of Bagshawe's novels, this is one of the worst - stick with the Movie, Tall Poppies and Career Girls to see her best work, although the more recent The Devil You Know is her best book for a while.

Wonderful entertainment,
By Meridian Blonde (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Kept Woman (Paperback)
Pure escapism and simply wonderful entertainment. I found it hard to put this down. Feel the quality of the silk designer suits, smell the rich vanilla coffee, experience the shock and desire of our heroine and catch yourself drooling over the leading man. 'A Kept Woman' is like a fragrant bubble bath that you don't want to get out of... indulgent and fun.
