Helpful Score: 2
This long awaited one has left me a bit disappointed. Typical Collins, but this one,was a bit too shallow for me. Pretty much, the same content over and over till about 3/4 ways through. Altho' the Lucky series got a bit draggy and repetetious, "Chances" is by far my very favorite by JC. Its Rich and full-filling. This one has luster, but no sheen. :o(

I have never read anything by Jackie Collins but I enjoyed reading this book. I was skeptical at first (due to the title) but after reading a few pages it drew me in. In my opinion the caracters were well formed and the story flowed. ***SPOILER*** Although the title leads you to believe this book is going to primarily be about adulterous relationships and behavior it is not. Dont get me wrong there are points where it does happen, but the book does not focus on promoting that type of behavior.
It looks like this book might start a new series with the introduction of Cameron Paradise and the Lamberts. I thought this was another Lucky book, but was nicely surprised when I realized it had nothing to do with the Santangelos.
I know that once I sit down with one of Jackie's books, nothing else will get done until I finish it! She grabs me with the first page every single time. I just wish she wrote a little bit faster!

Slightly diappointed with this book. It was very slow moving. Nothing really happens until the end. I love Jackie Collins and this is the first time I felt like this with her book.
Some Lucky characters appear in this book, but it is not a Lucky sequel.
I wouldn't say don't read it - I would say don't expect much .

I love all of Jackie Collins books. They usually have the same formula, but the plots are always interesting.
I really enjoyed this book. Fast read, lots of sex, great characters...I loved it!
Great beach book!

Entertaining new characters and a good page-turner. Though I was disappointed with the way things eventually played out, I was invested in Cameron's and Don's relationship. But I felt Anya's storyline wasn't wrapped up as neatly as it could've been.
But overall, MARRIED LOVERS was a fun romp! Typical Collins fun!

Personal trainer Cameron Paradise flees Hawaii and her abusive champion-surfer husband, Gregg, and makes her way to L.A. With her to-die-for looks, it doesn't take Cameron long to find a job at an exclusive private fitness club. Every man she meets comes on to her, but Cameron is more focused on opening her own studio one day than getting caught up in the L.A.scene of wild parties and recreational drugs.
Then Cameron meets Ryan Richards, a successful movie producer who happens to be married to Mandy, the princess daughter of Hollywood mogul Hamilton J Heckerling. Ryan has never cheated on Mandy, but after he meets Cameron, all bets are off-even if she's seeing his best friend Don Verona, the devastatingly attractive talk-show host and legendary player.
What happens when love and lust collide with fame and ambitions?
