Product Description

This racy, romantic romp in the countryside features feuding families, star-crossed lovers, sex, scandal and secrets...a sensational read!Having uprooted his socialite wife and family from their glamorous pad in LA, arrogant millionaire Judd Harrington is back in rural England at Brocket Hall, his childhood home. As he stares across the valley at Lochlin Maguire's beautiful country house, he can think of nothing but revenge. But Judd’s arch rival has got troubles of his own; Lochlin's record label is losing some major talent to an unknown competitor. Meanwhile rising singing star Iris Maguire, Lochlin's daughter, is making a name for herself in LA when she falls for irresistible racing driver Ace Harrington. But with the arrival of Judd's illegitimate daughter, Savannah Summers, it isn't just the family feud and Judd's scheming that look set to ruin love's young dream...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book- very hard to put down!! 15 July 2010
By Dot TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
OK, I am sorry to be really gushing but I thought this book was brilliant! Let me give you an idea of what Sasha Wagstaff has packed into her story: Love, glamour, revenge, rock stars, LA, New York, London, racing drivers, affairs, greed, domestic abuse, record deals, beautiful mansions, power and rivalry. Phew, quite a lot isn't it, I couldn't put it down, I just wanted to know more and more.
The characters that Sasha Wagstaff has created are really believable as well, although Judd is the bad guy she does not make Lochlin out to be Mr Perfect either. But Judd has to be one of my favourite villains of the year, he is just vile, at first I thought that she had created a stereo-typical bad guy, womanising and demoralising others but as the book goes on you start to see that he is really vile and hell bent on revenge. By pitting the two families together Sasha Wagstaff is able to bring in several story lines which keep you turning the pages but they all come together so it doesn't get confusing at any point.
I really did love this book, I'm going to check out her previous one Changing Grooms as I imagine it will be just as good!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wicked Read 16 Aug 2010
By Chloe S "Chick Lit Chloe" TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This is Sasha Wagstaff's second novel, but I hadn't actually picked up a copy of her debut Changing Grooms yet. When I was sent this by the publisher to review, I was drawn in by the eye-catching red, white and gold cover - it looks very elegant and certainly like a book I'd really enjoy. The book seems to be marked as a bit of a blockbuster, much in the vein of Tilly Bagshawe and Tasmina Perry, and having loved the formers books so far, I expected to enjoy this. Luckily, I wasn't at all let down and really liked the story - it travels around, has great characters and a thrilling story that keeps you guessing until the last page!

I very much enjoyed how Wagstaff doesn't tell us everything about the hatred between Judd Harrington and Lochlin Maguire at first. We're left guessing what happened in the past for a long while throughout the book and I didn't actually get it until it was revealed which was good. There are hints throughout but not enough to be obvious until Wagstaff intends for it to be told, and the puzzle along the way makes it very interesting reading. The book doesn't just focus on the rivalry between these two male characters though, we follow each of the men's children as their lives become entangled in each other, and I spent the book wondering how things were going to unravel and when!

There's quite a few characters in the book, and I have to admit that I did find it a little difficult at first to keep track of who was who, because some of them seemed to blend into each other in some respects! Once I got into the story however, it seemed much easier to tell them apart because of the storyline about them so it became less of a problem. At the beginning I struggled to differentiate between Tavvy and Kitty, Lochlin's and Judd's wives respectively.

2.0 out of 5 stars Really disappointing! 16 July 2010
Format:Paperback
I am a massive fan of a decent, sprawling summer bonkbuster such as those written by Jilly Cooper and Fiona Walker. I adore immersing myself in feuding families, glamorous locations, steamy sex scenes, pantomime villains... To me, it is a perfect way to break from all those serious novels I read. So, yeah, I love a good bonkbuster. Unfortunately this one wasn't. Not by a long way.

Don't get me wrong: the setting is perfect (the music industry, backed up by a little racing); there is enough double-crossing, spite and revenge to satisfy me; the men are gorgeous and the women irresistible. All the ingredients are in place for this to be a great piece of escapist ficton.

Yet I didn't like it. I didn't hate it either - I certainly read to the end, and wouldn't be completely put off trying another of Wagstaff's novels - but I just found it so lacking in excitement and intrigue. I'm not looking for massive twists in my bonkbusters - I generally know from the word go who will end up with who and (mostly) how it will play out as they get there - but Wicked Games plodded in a pedestrian manner from event to event without investing me in the characters.

In fact, this was one of the problems: despite the book being 450-odd pages, it is on the slim side for a bonkbuster novel (which usually stretch to 700 or 800 pages, if you think about the aforementioned Cooper and Walker), and Wagstaff packs in way too many characters to do justice to them all. The whole subplot dealing with Savannah - Judd's illegitimate daughter - is one that could have been the focus of the entire novel, yet it was rushed through in this book. Can you honestly say, having read the book, that you really cared about Caitie, Elliott and Jas?

1.0 out of 5 stars Shameless Jilly Cooper rip off! 21 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the worse case of plagiarism I have ever seen! Even the character names are all nicked from Jilly's novels! Pembleton instead of Penscombe, Loghlin Maguire instead of Declan O'Hara and then the exact replicas such as Kitty, Octavia, Sebastian, Amber etc etc Eyes are always 'shamrock green' or 'navy blue' women's hair is always 'tawny' what ever colour that is! Breasts are all 'ample' and lips 'full' or 'pouty'. All the characters are one-dimensional and uninspiring, self obsessed and whining. By about half way through I no longer cared what happened to any of them! Don't waste your time or money on this sad, second rate rip off. Buy Jilly Cooper instead.
