Jackie Collins

There have been many imitators, but only Jackie Collins (1937-2015) can tell you what really goes on in the fastest lane of all. From Beverly Hills bedrooms to a raunchy prowl along the streets of Hollywood; from glittering rock parties and concerts to stretch limos and the mansions of power brokers—Jackie Collins chronicles the real truth from the inside looking out. Jackie Collins has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the late director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair magazine. With over 400 million copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with some twenty-seven New York Times bestsellers to her credit, Jackie Collins is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. She is known for giving her readers an unrivalled insider’s knowledge of Hollywood and the glamorous lives and loves of the rich, famous, and infamous. “I write about real people in disguise,” she says. “If anything, my characters are toned down -- the truth is much more bizarre.” Ms. Collins books include Poor Little Bitch Girl, A Santangelo Story and Drop Dead Beautiful. Jackie Collins was awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II in 2013. She lived in Los Angeles, CA.

Reviews for Deadly Embrace

[bookwormteri · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Just fun to read. Won't make you think, a great escape book.

[she_climber · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

A fun easy summer read, which is exactly what I needed. Did the Audio, not real impressed with the author as the narrator, but it seems that she narrates most of her own books. Not sure if it's a dealbreaker or not, might try one more and see.

Good dramatic (slightly trashy) novel, a sure bet distraction from everyday life
