Summary

Into the cutthroat world of Corinium television comes mega-star Declan O'Hara. Declan soon realises that the Managing Director, Lord Baddingham, has recruited him merely to help retain the franchise for Corinium. Baddingham has also enticed Cameron Cook, a gorgeous, domineering woman executive, to produce Declan's programme. 

As a rival group emerges to pitch for the franchise, reputations ripen and decline, true love blossoms and burns, marriages are made and shattered and sex raises its head at almost every throw....

Very enjoyable listen

My first JILLY COOPER book but can't wait to read the next.
Predictable ending but enjoyable none the less.

Great read

Well read, except for the Irish accents, as all sound the same, and not at all glamorous!

Jilly Cooper at her best!

Wonderful continuation of RCB' s story. A host of new characters to love and hate. Delicious and entertaining. A great holiday read.

Awesome Simply Awesome!

A complete ride of' a book and with every pun intended but with some TV production and the eighties thrown in all woven together so expertly by a cheeky word smith like no one else.

You lothe the bad guys and cheer on the good and you won't want to put it down. Emerse yourself.

love the Cotchester chronicles

Jilly Cooper never disappoints, the narration wasn't my favourite but didn't detract from an enjoyable story

Brilliant and was extremely well spoken.

This was one of the best books I have read. It had everything that kept me wanting to know what was coming next

very good

Jilly Cooper is an excellent story teller and, even though her books are quite long, you keep listening quite happily til the end.

Another gusty story by Jilly Cooper

I thoroughly enjoyed this book although not quite as much as Riders. Some reviewers have said they do not like Sherry Baines as a narrator but once you are used to her I thought she was very good. These books take me back to my younger days so I find it quite nostalgic. Just going to order Polo now as I love losing myself in these books!
