Wicked Ambition [Kindle Edition]

Last year on holiday in Fuerteventura (oh so distant past) I devoured Shirley Conran's Lace in a matter of days. Wicked Ambition is, without a doubt, Lace for summer 2013. Seriously. I felt like I should be reading this book on a hot, sunny beach while sipping a mojito and not on a crowded bus in rainy, depressing London. Now magazine has branded the book '600 pages of sin' and they're not wrong. There's loads of treachery, sex, revenge, more sex, violence, sex and well... sex!

Having never read any of Victoria Fox's other novels, I didn't quite know what I was getting into with Wicked Ambition. All I knew was that the blurb sounded fun and like a much needed break from some of the more serious (aka depressing) stuff I've been reading, plus blogger friend Leah over at Chick Lit Reviews and News seemed pretty excited about it so I thought I couldn't go wrong.

Wicked Ambition is the stories of three women--Robin, Turqouise and Kristin--and is as much about the drama that comes with fame as the connections that tie them together. I really liked how Victoria wove in certain sub-charaters and situations that connected the women together without being overly (and painfully) obvious. The sex scenes, because how could you not talk about those, were written very well and without the cringe factor despite being pretty graphic. Like Lace, there's a little something for everyone here, minus the goldfish!

As a whole, the novel was like one of those guilty pleasure celebrity reality shows only sexier and a lot more dangerous and I found it really hard to put down! I kept wanting to read on a bit further, just one more chapter, until I found myself at the very explosive climax (ha ha) and satisfying (the puns are too easy) ending.

I love bonkbusters--they never pretend to be what they're not and they never fail to disappont. I'll be eagerly awaiting Victoria Fox's next novel... after I've read her back catalogue of course!

Perfect fun chick lit and glamour, hard to put down. Great price as well. Fab beach or indeed bath read

I am a fan of Victoria Fox's books, so was very excited to get stuck in to a new one. What I love about her is that the cast of characters are always so vibrant and hilarious and the world she creates is entertaining and colourful. Wicked Ambition didn't disappoint me. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down - Turquoise's story had me hooked and I totally fell in love with Leon! Also love a bit of revenge! I found it thrilling and funny and recommend it to anyone who wants something better and more exciting than the usual girly rubbish, which I normally find too boring and predictable. This is naughty and racy and if you are a fan of this genre (or anything glitzy and over the top!) this will definitely keep you entertained.

Wow! What a book. I've just finished it and am still trying to cool down. This is a book that is bursting with passion and love, hatred and revenge, and fabulous sex, and it never lets you off the hook for a moment. Fast-paced and thrilling. I loved every minute of its wild ride. Victoria Fox has skilfully crafted her three leading women, Robin, Kristin and Turquoise, as each one fights her way through this powerful story about obsession. And as for Leon ... wow, he is every female's hot-hot pillow-squeeze since the Olympics. Each of the stories is cleverly interwoven to build tension, and I promise you it will have you clinging to the edge of your seat. Yet threaded through the book is also a gripping read about the nature of fame and celebrity. This a glitzy glam-fest of a book, tremendous fun, but crammed with dark twists and turns - and of course let's not ignore the unforgettable sex scenes! Victoria Fox is an inspired storyteller and this is her best yet. She takes the bonkbuster to places it has never been before. This summer's exhilarating must-read.

Im not sure what books the reviewers of Wicked Ambition usually read but this book is terrible. The storyline is too far fetched and would never ever happen. I find Jax an absolute arse and could never imagine any athlete having his disgusting, degrading attitude! Turquoise De Luca's story is crazy, sexual abuse, prostituting, kidnap!? Very strange! The whole thing is just ridiculous!

If you want a good a book, i highly recommend Tasmina Perry Private Lives. Its brilliant! I read this before Wicked Ambition, that might be why i just cant get into this book!

I've enjoyed previous books by this author, but Wicked Ambition reads like a book written fast with lots of nonsense with characters hard to like. To tell the truth, I couldn't even finish it. There's too many good books out there to waste time on this one.

Oh my goodness I could not put this book down, truly amazing,.
It was gripping to the end.
A five star read :-)

I thought it was ok but I thought it was quite slow moving sorry but thats my opinion no offence
