While it would be a stretch of the imagination to consider this a work of high literature, if you're looking for a quick, dirty read with two ridiculous, over-the-top protagonists and an abundant use of the word 'randy' in reference to practically every character in the book, then this might be worth a look.
THE BITCH is the story of two characters: Nico Constantine who married into wealth at a young age, and Fontaine Al Khaled, who also married into wealth. Both of them are single by the time they meet accidentally on an airplane. Instant attaction....
The novel of course has several subplots weaving in and out, with lots of gratuitous sex and outrageous plot twists. But that's expected from a Jackie Collins novel. Nico finds he's dead broke and spends the rest of the novel trying to get himself out of this mess (big time gambling debt). Fontaine in the meantime is trying to rejuvenate her London night club, while at the same time ignores all advances from Nico, although deep down she is very attracted to him.
For a quick light read and some show more trashy writing, THE BITCH is recommended. show less
