Customer Reviews

Jackie Collins' books never get old!

It's amazing but I can go in and re-read a Jackie Collins novel and still enjoy it as much as I did the first time. These characters are engaging and timeless and Ms. Collins writes like someone who knows what they are talking about. I highly recommend this book as well as all of her novels. There is something for everyone and they are all WONDERFUL!!

A SURE BET

You know exactly what you get yourself into when picking up a Jackie Collins novel: a sugarcoated tale of glamour and lust with a roman à clef attitude. This time around, LOVERS AND GAMBLERS takes you into the glamourous life of Dallas and Al, two gorgeous misfits who suffer greatly in the name of love. Their destined-to-be-together union is a roller coaster ride of secrets and lies only Jackie Collins can concoct, and that means a lot of sins, a lot of sex, and whole lot of page turning. She may not be Proust, or even Nora Roberts for that matter, but, boy, can she handle her pen. It is as wicked as any of her villains. Her over-the-top imagination works to the very end. Don't hesitate to pick up LOVERS AND GAMBLERS. It is a one-sitting romp that deserves all the stops.-----Martin Boucher

Sometimes You Just Gotta Roll the Dice!

This book is one of Jackie Collins' best. I just re-read it (over a decade since the last time). Even after the HUNDREDS of books I've devoured since then this book still kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat until the end. You'll love the story and the characters even if they are just a tad dated (70's) in terms of clothes and catch phrases! That only adds to its "classic" status right!

You haven't read Jackie Collins until you've read this book!

No one writes about sex, drugs and rock 'n roll better than Jackie Collins. With chapter after chapter of sleazy sex, this book is definitely not for the squeamish! A fun read that will keep you page-turning late into the night.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! by M. Boucher

I discovered Jackie Collins with this one. What a great book! Fast-paced, witty, and sexy! You'll love the misadventures of Dallas and Al as they both find themselves in the grueling world of Hollywood. Not to be miss!
