My Review

Jackie Collins is the best. Lethal Seduction discloses the dark side of high-class society. She is bold and blunt in her words, making the novel more interesting to read.

About the Author

Jacqueline Jill Collins (4 October 1937 – 19 September 2015) was an English romance novelist. One of the greatest female novelists I ever came across in my journey of being a bibliophile. Collins had begun many works of fiction but abandoned them, and only completed her first novel after being persuaded by her second husband Oscar Lerman. “You’re a storyteller”, he told her. After the publication of her first novel The World is Full of Married Men, romantic novelist Barbara Cartland called the book “nasty, filthy and disgusting”, and charged Collins with “creating every pervert in Britain”. The book was banned in Australia and South Africa, but the scandal bolstered sales in the United States and the UK.

My Thoughts

Myths about Rich and Celebrities

A common thought about middle and lower-class people is “Rich people have it all.” They have everything in life, a secure future, luxurious life, happiness, money etc, you name it they have it. They enjoy all the latest technologies, their kids go to the best schools and colleges. There are no such dreams that they can’t achieve. We love to follow them on social media and TV. We even like to know about their lifestyle. Somewhere around the corner, we wish for a life like them. We are always charmed by their way of living. They don’t struggle like we common people do, this is what we think. But who knows what goes on behind the sunproof glass of those tall buildings?

Real Facts

The novel Lethal Seduction is a fictional story, it does disclose some real facts about the life of the richest and the celebrities. Some people aren’t born rich; they have gone through a lot of struggle and pain, to be where they are today. But some people are born with a silver spoon. They are born with all the luxuries, who don’t know what pain, failure and struggle mean. These people have a misconception that they are superior beings of society and that others merely exist in front of them.

Certain families have an extreme significance in society, they have been seen together in lots of special events, but they are together just for flame and publicity.

The bondage between them isn’t strong enough. There are cheating spouses, some have a mistress to give them company whenever they like, broken families, hidden dirty desires.

Nothing seems real in their life. It’s all about money and flame.

Is it that the more higher you get, the more lonelier you become?

About the Novel

The story is about Madison Castelli, the beautiful and street-smart heroine of L.A CONNECTIONS. Her ex-lover, who walked out her, is trying to walk back in; her new lover is giving her a hard time; and her father turns out to be a man with deadly secrets.

There are many other characters in the novel that play the different shades of the high-class society. Lethal Seduction is packed with all the intrigue and glamour fans have come to expect from Jackie’s novels. This deliciously uninhibited tale of cover-ups, deception, and mob involvement finds Jackie Collins at the height of her creative powers as the diverse group of characters takes an exhilarating walk on the wild side, where nothing is ever exactly as it seems, and danger is all around.

Lethal Seduction will seduce you all the way…

Happy Reading!!!
