Crit Containing Books Wicked Pleasures
It was amazing.It reads like a thriller, first it seems to be a Romance but the thriller only becomes apparent towards the end, it is very hidden. A very very good book.Alexander, who owns Hartest, is impotent and will go to whatever it takes to conceal this.It linked in to my life and explained things.

Penny Vincenzi writes delicious, juicy, family dramas. This one is no different. The Praeger family owns a bank and is among America's "royalty". Run by the indomitable Fred III, his two children, Fred IV better known as "Baby" and daughter Virginia, can never quite measure up. However when Virginia marries English Lord Caterham and moves to his lovely estate of Hartest in England, Fred III is mightily pleased. Baby also marries well; children come along in both marriages. Baby waits

804 pages of twists & turns - wonderful story telling. Will read more from this author.

Not your typical Vincenzi, but oohhh soooo good!

This book was okay - not quite what I expected. Instead of an intrigue-filled generational novel, I equated the story to a classed up version of a Jackie Collins tale. Not that there is anything wrong with Jackie Collins...! The book is LONG! It has to be in a sense because it covers thirty years and almost ten main characters. However, I think a bit of judicious editing should have been applied. One pet peeve of mine - the author likes to repeat phrases and adjectives. That got old, quick.I

I read this book for the 1st time a long time ago. So it was all new to me.What a plot and what a style of writing Penny Vincenzi has.The title does not do justice to the book, it is fabulous. It is sexy, glamorous and fun, this story of two sisters and one brother who found out that they all had different fathers.Alexander, the Earl of Caterham, was married to their mother but is obsessed with this estate, the house, etc.Some parts are still a mystery to me, for instance did the Earl really try

Fluffy and fairly pointless. But I had to keep reading to see what eventually happened, which is why in the end I gave 2 stars instead of 1. Long and drawn out with one dimensional characters.
