Summary

Featuring a brand new introduction from Alexandra Heminsley, talking about what Jackie and her books mean to her!

‘What radiates from all of her novels is a sense that women are just as capable of great things as men’ ALEXANDRA HEMINSLEY

Al King, the rock-and-roll super stud who is everything any sex-crazed groupie ever imagined her hero to be; and Dallas, the beauty queen whose sky-high ambitions stem from a sordid secret-the type that tabloids tingle to tell. Together, they're on a wild ride from London to New York, from Hollywood to Rio and the steaming jungles of the Amazon-where all their dreams and nightmares are about to come true…LOVERS & GAMBLERS

There have been many imitators, but only ever one Jackie Collins. With millions of her books sold around the world, and thirty-one New York Times bestsellers, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. From glamorous Beverly Hills bedrooms to Hollywood movie studios; from glittering rock concerts to the yachts of billionaires, Jackie chronicled the scandalous lives of the rich, famous, and infamous from the inside looking out.

So entertaining!

My favourite JC book apart from the Lucky series. Wonderfully read and performed. The plot of this story is just insane, had no idea what was going to happen next!! Loved Dallas and Linda. JC is fantastic at strong female characters, and I love that she never shied away from featuring LGBT and POC characters, as well as plenty of raunchiness, in her books in the 60s and 70s.
