5.0 out of 5 stars The First of Jilly, certainly not the last...., February 23, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Rivals (Paperback)
I first heard of Jilly, when I bought the book Apassionata at a second-hand store. I started to read it but found out that many of the characters in this story, were in her earlier books. I decided to buy all her books written before Apassionata. I wanted to read them in order. Unfortunately, Rivals (which by the way is the same book as "Players")came first and I could not resist. I started reading and could not stop. This is a first for me because I am the type of person that has to be reading 3 books at one time. With Rival, I tried picking up other books to read but could not concentrate on them. It was awesome. Unlike other reviewers, I won't give the plot away but I will tell you that the book is about 4 men vying for control of the British Televison Franchise. The villain in this book is Tony and his 3 adversaries are Declan, Rupert and Freddie. Of course the book has the usual love triangle, backstabbing and name dropping as in other books of this nature but Jilly has the awesome talent of either making you like or hate a character, no in betweens. The book up wraps up very nicely at the the end and who does not like a happy ending? Can't wait to read her other books. Way to go Jilly............

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just another trashy novel, December 18, 2001
This review is from: Rivals (Paperback)
I do admit that this is the trashiest book I've ever read. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it! My roommate gave it to me when I was looking for something to read that was light. This was exactly the sort of book I was looking for. I loved the characters. I loved the tangled webs of deception. I loved the sex. There was so much going on in this book that I never wanted to stop reading it... I even went so far as to compare my life to that of one of the characters in the book. I like it when I read a book and all I want to do is talk about it--that is certainly the mark of a good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another one I couldn't put down!, January 25, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Rivals (Paperback)
Another great book with Rupert Campbell-Black and the gang. If you haven't already read RIDERS, do so at once. That goes for POLO as well. I liked the various characters in this book-a little more interesting perhaps than those that revolve more around show jumping...Declan and Maude O'Hara are wonderful characters, and that goes for the kids as well. I would like to have seen more of Rupert's kids also...but maybe that's the next book. Jilly's books have taken me across the pond and back again. I wish they were readily available in the US!
