Summary: My first Joy Fielding book kept me interested through to end
Review: Although my first Joy Fielding book, it certainly won't be my last. The storyline kept me intested throughout the telling. It might have bogged down in the middle, but still very necessary conflicts and emotions were revealed about Joy. Unfortunately Joy and David's life is all too real but it's better to read about it than to live through it. I was disappointed at the ending until I had a chance to think about it and now realize it was the only one possible. I've just ordered two more of her books and am anxiously awaiting their arrival.

Summary: Guilty feet have got no rhythm. . .
Review: Bright, independent Jill found the perfect catch in handsome, rich--and married--lawyer David Plumley. Four years after Jill gets him to the altar, she finds her own position in David's life threatened by a young law intern at his office. Of course, Jill knows firsthand that David is susceptible to the attentions of other women. He'd been cheating on his wife before she met him. But she'd always thought, "well, I'm the only one he left Elaine to marry. So I'm safe." But the adversary here is powerful. Jill has big decisions to make here--and not just about whether or not she still wants David badly enough to fight for him. This crisis forces her to look at everything she's believed, and to re-evaluate it all. Great reading. There's a murder in this book, but unlike other Fielding books, it's solved early on. Later events in the book are influenced by what happens there, however. Enjoy this earlier work by Joy Fielding, now reissued for your reading pleasure!

Summary: Interesting enough
Review: I just finished reading this book by Joy Fielding. It is definately not her best, but it was a nice quick book to read. I found that I was pretty interested in the story because unfortunately there are many incidences of infidelity in the world today. Basically we start out with Jill Plumley who is the second wife of David. She is approached at a company picnic by a younger pretty girl named Nicole who says that she is going to steal David away from Jill. Well, with that remark the tale begins. Jill had been a previously strong woman with a great career who fell in love with a married man and got him for her own. It tells about her insecurities to keep him and flashes back to their affair. And as in real life all too often, once a cheater, definately don't count him out to do it again. The only thing left is for Jill to decide what to do next. This was an easily read book, but by far not her best.

Summary: MEOW! HISS, HISS! A BADLY WRITTEN ROMANTIC NOVEL.
Review: The back biting, clawing an scratching in this book is taken to a new level. The protagonist, Jill back bites, claws and scratches back when a young barracuda named Nicole tells her she's going to steal her husband. Nicole is a virtuoso in back biting, clawing and scratching. She is a truly hateful character. David's former wife is an old pro at back biting, clawing and scratching and hones her teeth and nails when she lashes out at Jill. This is understandable to an extent because prior to marrying David, Jill was half of an extramarital affair with David. Jill's friend Beth learnes to backbite, claw and scratch with the best of them when she kills her abusive barbarian of a husband who just happens to be David's law partner. Put on your suit of armor, folks -- the back biting, clawing and scratching just get worse. The ending is actually funny. I laughed out loud when Jill, tired of David's two timing, packs his things and moves him in with Nicole, the Barracuda. Those two back biting, clawing and scratching beasts deserved each other. Remember that old adage -- if s/he'll cheat WITH you, s/he'll cheat ON you. That is the only really constructive message this book has to offer.

Summary: MEOW! HISS, HISS!
Review: The back biting, clawing and scratching leaves no one unscathed. Jill is back bitten, clawed and scratched by her husband's lover, Nicole. Both women back bite, claw and scratch each other. David's ex-wife is a barracuda extraordinaire who leaves nothing and no one in her path unharmed. Even Jill is a bit of a back biter, clawer and scratcher in that she was half of an extra marital affair couple when David was still married to the barracuda. David's anorexic daughter gets into the back biting, clawing and scratching by pitting the barracuda against Jill. Beth earns her stripes and her self respect by killing her abusive husband (David's partner) and learns the fine art of back biting, clawing and scratching. Put on your suit of armor -- this book is gritty. OUCH! (One hopes that nasty Nicole gets what she deserves -- a taste of her own back biting, clawing and scratching medicine. She truly was one hellcat)!
