'I was never going to be someone's silver when I could be their gold. I never dreamed I would be The Mistress'
Book Description
He took one last long look at her before walking away and disappearing into the night. At that moment, Mandy knew her life would change forever . . . Mandy Sanderson is turning thirty and has everything going for her – dark ebony hair, flashing black eyes, flawless skin and a job she loves – yet, so far, true love has eluded her. Then, on the night of her birthday party, surrounded by friends she adores, Cupid strikes as Mandy and the gorgeous Jake Chaplin lock eyes across the restaurant and fall for one another in an instant. Jake is confident, successful, oozing with sex appeal and utterly irresistible. He is also married, with two children, and Mandy has always sworn not to break her own golden rule: never encourage a man to play away. Jake is used to getting what he wants, and this time it is Mandy he’s determined to win, and with Jake, seduction comes in more ways than one . . . Warm, sexy and heart-wrenchingly moving,The Mistress is written by one of Britain’s best-loved actresses and offers a refreshingly modern take on what it is that women want. www.readthemistress.com

... then I have no doubt that Martine McCutcheon would be put against a wall and shot. This book has all the depth, meaning and value of Martine's yoghurt adverts, but sadly this book has killed trees too. The first paragraph by itself is a litany of crimes against writing. Mandy "spins" around in the hall to check she has everything, speaks to a taxi driver from the door of her basement flat without, apparently, even going outside and then does a thousand things we don't need to know about "she pulled the door shut using the knocker"... FFS. She writes like a child. She writes like someone who cannot step outside herself for 2 seconds and see that other people cannot imagine what she imagines, so half the time we have to imagine what's happening while other things (fiddling with umbrellas, applying lippy, picking up ANOTHER designer bag) flow like diarrhoea from her keyboard. To say nothing of the needless, idiotic, lazy lazy lazy adjectives. "She picked her keys up from an antique table". Please stop, for the sake of our coniferous forests.

Bought this book looking for a bit of chick-lit, wasn't expecting anything earth shattering or a literary masterpiece just an easy read and I was still disappointed.
The story could have been completed in about 60 pages had the copious references to designer garments and handbags been left out. Not to mention the continuous effusive descriptions of the gorgeous "heroine" of the piece who seemed to bear a striking resemblance to Ms McCutcheon.
The best thing about this book was that it had a large typeface and there were big spaces between the lines.

Bought this book at the airport to read on the plane...a decision I deeply regretted 10 minutes into the flight. There are no words to describe just how terribly, horribly awful this book is. From the one dimensional characters to the flimsy plot, it was like a car accident you couldn't look away from. I read it to the very end because I was morbidly curious to see how bad it gets. It gets really bad. The story ends with the creation of a family package so dysfunctional it gave me nightmares for days and left me in awe and shock at the thought that somebody could even imagine, let alone accept such a living situation. I cannot stress enough just how much I regret buying this book. If Amazon had zero stars I'd give zero stars. Don't waste your money on it.
