Review

Praise for Guilty Pleasures 'No sunbed is complete without a bona fide bonkbuster and Perry is our new queen of the genre' In Style 'Perry has redefined the bonkbuster genre for a new generation' Grazia 'Guilty Pleasures is an intelligent and stylish 21st-century take on the Jackie Collins genre' Red Praise for Gold Diggers 'Hold on to your hats -- here comes your summer blockbuster. This is a sumptuously sexy book' Elle 'All hail the return of the beach bonkbuster' Glamour Praise for Daddy's Girls 'Daddy's Girl's is the hottest holiday accessory this season. Slick, glossy and gloriously bitchy it's about sibling rivalry and the super-glam Balcon girls -- but which one killed Daddy? The bonkbuster is back' Elle 'Amid all the romping and camp one-liners, there are tart observations about race, class and family dynamics, too. The perfect beach read' Marie Claire 'There's no shortage of drama and double-dealing in this glitzy blockbuster' Sainsbury's Magazine Praise for Original Sin 'Original Sin is heading straight for the bestseller lists. We loved it.' Heat 'Tasmina Perry proves once again that she is Queen of the Bonkbusters...impossibly glamorous...' Staying In


Product Description

Get inside the glamour with Tasmina Perry! Stunning Brooke Asgill is about to marry into one of the richest and most powerful families in the Unites States, and matriarch Meredith Asgill is determined that her daughter will walk down the aisle at whatever cost. But the Asgill's are not all they seem and their past is riddled with secrets, lies and tragedy. Enter Tess Garret, a renowned publicist hired to keep the Asgill family ghosts well and truly locked away, at least until the big day is over. From Manhattan's exclusive upper east side to the tropical beaches of Hawaii. Fom the couture ateliers of Paris to the colonial mansions of the Florida Keys, Original Sin is a sexy provocative tale of lies, secrets and the lengths some people will go to keep them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get out there and grab yourself a copy, 5 Jun 2009
By Kat Everett "Mrs E" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Tasmina Perry writes Chick Lit books and has so far written three other Novels. She has produced:-

Daddy's Girls 2006
Gold Digger's 2007
Guilty Pleasures 2008

In her fourth book we delve into the present and past of the Asgill family. They own an International cosmetics company and Meredith Asgill the mother is determined to keep her children's profiles as squeaky clean as possible. She meets Tess and Jemma who are publicists based in London who are ready to run a sensational story on the Asgill's. Instead of running the story Meredith offers Tess the opportunity of a lifetime which is how Tess ends up working alongside this wealthy and powerful family. Life changes dramatically as Tess becomes embroiled into the Asgill's lives.

Brooke Asgill is due to marry David Billington, an equally powerful and rich man. Liz Asgill is the elder sister who is fighting her corner for control of the family company. She believes that she has what it takes to make the brand successful once again with her at the helm. Her brother William is also fighting for control but mostly on behalf of his power crazy, social climbing wife. Lastly there is Sean Asgill who is the Playboy of the family. He never takes anything seriously and is mostly featured on the front of magazines with various women draped on his arm. When they all meet Tess everybody's lives change dramatically. Who will take over the company, will Brooke marry David, and will any of their past secrets be kept at bay by Tess, or come out and potentially destroy the family's reputation?

This story is full of twists and turns and I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter. Having read previous Tasmina Perry books I awaited this one with baited breath wondering and hoping that it would be as good as the last one, if not better. I had no need to worry. Tasmina Perry has produced what I think is her best novel so far. The story is compelling and full of drama, glamour, secret's and lies. What more could we ask for? I await her next book with very high expectations!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a treat!, 21 Jun 2009
By Liselore (Amsterdam) - See all my reviews
Tasmina Perry's latest novel is a wonderful treat! In contrast to the other reviewers, I think this is her best novel so far. With the exception of the very weak Gold Diggers, her novels seem to grow better and deeper. I thought the fatal flaw of Gold Diggers was the fact that all the characters were so immensely unlikeable, to the point that I actually didn't mind that one of the main characters were killed! But in Guilty Pleasures and especially Original Sin, the main characters grow and change and are, therefore, more human and likeable. I loved the character of Brooke! I also loved the fact that this novel was (mainly, although of course there were a lot of wonderful, exotic other locations) set in New York.
I'm eagerly awaiting Tasmina's next novel - bring it on!!
