Hollywood Sinners is the debut novel from Victoria Fox, and I'd been waiting for it for quite some time before it was released in April. I'm not usually into 'bonkbusters' which is what this book is described as, but Hollywood Sinners has definitely changed that! The novel promises glamour and scandal, and I'm totally up for that...Cole Steel is the Hollywood heart-throb of the moment; sexy, rich, powerful; the man who every girl across the globe wants. Too bad he's already married to starlet Lana Falcon. But away from the glittering lights of the paparazzi and press, the seemingly perfect marriage is a whole different story. The marriage is merely a set-up; a beautiful, obedient wife for Cole, to shot to the world that he has it all. But there's something more sinister underneath the illusion of the perfect Hollywood husband and wife...
Before Lana signed the marriage contract, she was someone completely different. A girl on the run from a nasty past that could very well be coming back to haunt her. The only person who shares the full secret of what happened before she hit the big time is her childhood friend, now known as Robert St Louis, who is about to marry a Vegas heiress.
Meanwhile, sweet Brit star Chloe French is making a name for herself as a hot new model, but her relationship with rock star Nate may be her downfall. Chloe is at first oblivios to Nate's cheating ways, but how long can it last?
Back in the States, fading star Kate diLaurentis is consious about securing more work, and it doesn't help that her comedian husband is well known for cheating.
Four famous couples are about to have their secrets and scandals revealed as their lives intertwine and possibly collide...
I loved this book so much! It's such a wonderful debut and had had me hooked from the very first page. Each couple's plot is intriguing and the secrets that each character has will keep you guessing throughout. My favourite character was Lana, who has escaped a terrible life only to be faced with the nightmare again.
Admittedly Hollywood Sinners rather far-fetched at times but I think that's partly what makes it such a fab read. If you love celebrity tales with extra helpings of juicy scandal then this is a must-read!
Rating: 5/5
