Product Description

All’s fair in love and war?

Blonde, beautiful, upper-class Rowena Gordon is the perfect English rose. Topaz Rossi is a feisty, Italian-American red-head from Brooklyn. Both are determined and talented. And there’s nothing they wouldn’t do for each other. Until Rowena hooks up with Topaz’s boyfriend.

Now, years later, they are star career girls at the top of their game; Topaz in journalism, Rowena in the music industry. When their paths cross again, Topaz is not about to just forgive and forget. She’ll do everything in her power to shatter Rowena’s success. And Rowena will do anything to stop her...

5.0 out of 5 stars My ultimate book!!, 30 May 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Career Girls (Mass Market Paperback)
I love this book and have read it an uncountable amount of times. The determination of the two lead characters and their sexy and powerful lovers are my dream scenario of what i want in life. It has spurned me onto following my dream of journalism.
Unfortunately, some of my friends do not share the same view on this book and find it cheesy, unrealistic and the sex scenes humorous. However, I cannot find any criticisms of this book and recommend it to anyone who idolise succesfull, powerful women. A great 'trashy' novel. Definately the best one of Bagshaw's career.

3.0 out of 5 stars A beach book - fun, sexy but just a bit too far fetched!, 21 Aug 2003
This review is from: Career Girls (Mass Market Paperback)
As you will have guessed from the title, cover and blurb, 'Career Girls' is hardly setting out to be great literature but it is very good fun!

The plot centres around Topaz Rossi and Rowena Gordon, both beautiful, strong, ambitious women. They have very different backgrounds (a point that was dwelled on a bit much, I thought. We don't need to hear about Rowena's aristocratic roots in every chapter!) but became friends when they were studying at Oxford. All is well but then (surprise, surprise!) a man gets in the way! The girls go from best friends to bitter enemies in a matter of minutes and this rivalry stays with them throughout their careers. The convoluted plot makes for plenty of bitchiness between the girls, and the industries they work in (journalism and music) add a dose of glamour to the story.

As alot of other reviewers have mentioned the sex scenes were the book's worst feature. They were repetative, gratuitous and made the supposedly strong, independant women slaves out to be slaves to their lust and the men in the book!

Another negative point was how far fetched some of the plot was, I'm all for escapism but some of he scenes were so cheesy and unbelievable they seemed straight out og a Hollywood blockbuster!

Despite these criticisms, I can't deny that Ms Bagshawe can certainly tell a story in a pacy and enjoyable way! So if you don't mind lots of sex scenes that do nothing to move the plot along, this might be the perfect beach read for you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enough Said!!, 26 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Career Girls (Mass Market Paperback)
To be quite honest I am not a fanatic reader of romantic novels. However this book completely changed my outlook of them altogether.
The fabulously crafted characters Bagshawe has created really do bring the whole novel to life, as a reader it is almost impossible to believe that these people don't actually exist.
The plot itself unfolds with such precision that the idea of 'rivals for life' just seems so scary to think about. It is absolutely crammed with twists and turns that do quite honestly defy the imagination. The sheer way it was written just had me engrosed for hours, I found it impossible to put down!
Even for the not so romantic people around, a book like this is sometimes hard to find, I throughly enjoyed 'Career Girls' and would, without doubt, reccommend it to anyone! A fantastic read! Enough said!!
