Like all of Penny Vincenzi's books this was another page turner and I love all the twists and turns she injects into her stories. I found this one was one of her best because of the changing storyline that had us following the American Side of the family in One Chapter and then over to the completly different way of life of the English wealthy family. I love the fact she writes nice long novels and this one didn't dissappoint and it was interesting to read about the English side of banking and then compare the American way. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes family sagas and a book with lots of twists and turns. I am looking forward to reading more of Penny!

This book follows one family and their unique twists of fate. A woman who has three children by different man, but in love with her husband, a man so obsessed with his title and home, that he will do anything to protect it..... Rich and privileged, but all haunted by some unhappiness. A really good, if not long, book. I really enjoyed "Wicked Pleasures" and I'll be back for more Penny Vincenzi books.

This book combines "edge-of-the-seat" thrilling plotlines (to keep you turning the pages) with brilliant observations on human nature and the worlds of american banking and english aristocratic society. However, it is the superbly shocking revellations suddenly materialising on the pages when you least expect them which prove Penny Vincenzi to be a powerful force in modern literature. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Ms Vincenzi's books are wonderful This is the third I have read in three months and each one is unique with interseting characters and storylines.
Thank you very much

I found this book in a used book store and I could not put it down once I started it. I cannot find any of here books in the city I live in now. Is she still writing?

I love Penny Vincenzi books. They are my guilty pleasures when I'm not reading books for bookclub. The book came quickly and in great shape. Get it and enjoy!!!

I started WICKED PLEASURES three times before I actually read it. Have no idea why I felt that way and still can't figure out why I didn't enjoy this book as much as previous Vincenzi novels. That's not unusual with a favorite author -- you can't hit a home run every time at bat. Still, even a less-than-her-best Vincenzi novel is worth the time and money invested, and WICKED PLEASURES was no exception. Vincenzi does impeccable research and always gives you fascinating information about her settings and the professions and businesses of her characters. And, of course, the books are always filled with juicy scandals, dramas, and characters. They're fun to read, even when you're shaking your head over some of the characters' antics. Now I'm looking forward to Vincenzi's newest, which arrived in my mailbox a couple of weeks ago but which I've been saving for a rainy day.
