The Devil You Know: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Same As Before, But Never Boring
Review: First, I have to say that I really admire and respect Ms. Bagshawe for having obtained so much success at such a young age. I wish I had the amount of ambition and intelligence Ms Bagshawe has.

Second, although "The Devil You Know" has the same formula as all of Ms. Bagshawe's books- beautiful, ambitious women
+ sexist as well as sexy, rich men- she never fails to suck the reader in with her juicy plots until she or he almost physically cannot put the book down and has devoured every deliciously naughty detail.

Lastly, I would definitely recommend "The Devil You Know" and all of Ms. Bagshawe's books to any one who wants a vacation from his or her-mostly her-drab little life and wants to explore the world of some of the sexiest and most ambitious characters ever in print.

Summary: Pleasantly Surprise
Review: I usually read Historical Fiction (Regency England, preferably) but I was returning home from England and couldn't find any of those books at the airport. It was a long flight back to Seattle so I picked up "The Devil You Know" even though it wasn't my time period and quite a bit longer (500 pages) than I was used to. I loved it!! I read it so fast it didn't even last the whole first flight! I tried to get another book by Louise Bagshawe in Pittsburgh, but they didn't have any. Boy was I disappointed. Her plot was never slow, her characters were well developed, and I loved how she kept jumping from one to the other until they ultimately all meet. At first this was a little confusing and I had to refer to the back of the book to remind myself which girl this was--oh, yes the chunky british gal or the spoiled american girl. Normally not one for the present day and it's dreariness, these girls were so determined to make something of themselves that they made me wish I'd had similiar goals earlier in life. Very good read that you won't be able to put down.
