More About the Author

"A novelist to rival Sheldon..." Cosmopolitan magazine.
"Superbly crafted thrillers...compelling suspense." The Sunday Times

It was a meeting with Sidney Sheldon that inspired Jennifer Bacia (pronounced 'Batcher')to write her first suspense thriller. The results were a debut author's dream. Publishers battled over the rights and "Indecent Ambition" was bought for a record-breaking advance. The novel was an international best-seller, a lead title in the UK, a Book Club Choice and the movie rights were optioned. Sales were also made to leading foreign publishers and an extract featured in Cosmopolitan magazine.
Now the author of 8 successful novels, 2 non-fiction works and dozens of short stories, Jennifer has also written for television and had regular newspaper and magazine byline columns.
Jennifer's best-selling suspense thrillers, "A Very Public Scandal", "Indecent Ambition", "Whisper Her Name" and "Never Forget Me" are irresistible fast-paced stories of the wealthy and powerful set against the glamour and intrigue of international backgrounds. She promises her readers a book they simply can't put down!
Jennifer has lived in Rome, London and LA and divides her time between Australia and her family in the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angel of Honour - Not such an angel!, September 9, 2011

This review is from: Angel Of Honour (Paperback)

Another excellent book from Jennifer Bacia that entrances the reader in a "world of passion, power and revenge". Angel of Honour has the reader riveted from the start where a killer watches his intended victim from a first floor window. Noella is the younger daughter of the powerful Victor de Bartez, a beautiful girl with fiery dark eyes and a talent for getting into trouble. She is restless and headstrong, while her sister Gabrielle has turned out to be everything her father had expected from his dutiful daughter. Victor has never forgiven Noella for taking his adored wife Catherine from him, in a tragic accident. Her father's blame leads to rebellion from his younger daughter who eventually must make the ultimate choice if she is to continue his legacy. A grand tale of family conflict and choices which shows you why Jennifer Bacia keeps you coming back for more!

This review is from: Angel of honour (Hardcover)

Depending on your taste in reading, this will be the biggest,best read of all time, or an amazing melange of fact, fiction and sex. The heroine, Noella de Bartez, is the younger daughter of the President of an impoverished South American country. As a small child, she accidently caused the death of her beautiful,world famous, actress mother and has consquently been ignored by her father.Rebelling against her fathers' indifference, she embarks on a love affair with a local young peasant and is married off to a cold, perverted woman hater who takes her to Paris where she becomes the darling of the modelling world, selfish and spoiled beyond recognition. Her father and sister are assassinated by the warlords of drug cartels which are crippling her country and, in desperation, the few remaining members of her fathers' cabinet, turn to her to educate and train herself to one day use her family name and take over the leadership of her country. All of this takes place and eventually, a major love affair and a child later, she emerges as the saviour of her country.
The story, for me, smacks too much of the Grace Kelly story and later, shades of Eva Peron appear, making it just too improbable but, to each his own, and perhaps some will find this a big, romantic read.
