Married Lovers: A Novel

Written by Jackie Collins

Narrated by John Bedford Lloyd

Three high-powered Hollywood couples, two hot affairs, one underage Russian ex-hooker, a passionate murder—and the players' lives are changed forever in bestselling Jackie Collins's Married Lovers

Cameron Paradise, a stunningly beautiful twenty-four-year-old personal trainer, flees her abusive boyfriend in Australia and ends up in L.A. Cameron soon gets a job at a private fitness club where she encounters the city's most important players. She has plans to open her own studio, and while every man she meets comes on to her, she is focused on working hard and saving money to achieve her goal. Until she meets Ryan Lambert, that is. An extremely successful independent movie producer, he's married to overly privileged Mandy Lambert, the daughter of Hamilton J. Heckerling, a Hollywood power-player son-of-a-bitch mogul. Ryan has never cheated on his demanding Hollywood Princess wife, but when he meets Cameron, all bets are off.

Only internationally bestselling author Jackie Collins knows what happens when lust and desire collide with marriage and power. And the results lead to murder.

Jackie Collins

Jackie Collins has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair. With over 500 million copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with thirty-two New York Times bestsellers to her credit, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. Six of her novels have been adapted for film or TV. Collins was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) by the Queen of England in 2013 for her services to literature and charity. When accepting the honor she said to the Queen, “Not bad for a school drop-out”—a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true. She lived in Beverly Hills where she had a front-row seat to the lives she so accurately captured in her compulsive plotlines. She was a creative force, a trailblazer for women in fiction, and in her own words “a kick-ass writer!” Her fascinating life as a writer and icon is explored in the CNN Films and Netflix documentary Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story.

Reviews for Married Lovers

[linyarai · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Definitely not what I expected. It was superficial and crass, read like a teenager's first novel not an experienced author's. It was fast paced but I didn't its pushy attempt to be modern, or the language and context.

Jackie Collins is my closet passion. Her books are easy reads and a nice break from real life. This one did not disappoint.

Wow- this book came around and smacked me in the face! Such a trashy novel but I couldn't seem to put it down. I fell in love with all the characters and their overdone drama. The story seems to move by at a great pace and then you hit the end and it's all a clusterf***. I do wish the ending would have had a little more to it, I felt cheated. Other than the ending it proved to be an excellent, dare I say love, story. There are quite a few major characters but if your half human you will fall for the star, Cameron Paradise and her life story. She's a strong and independent woman (cliche, I know).

If I were an English major, I'd probably have my degree rescinded when I say that I also really enjoyed the book....Sure it's formulaic - impossibly gorgeous and brilliant heroine, sleazy Hollywood types, and a bad guy eventually come together in a suspenseful climax - but I get completely into it.
