Bad Sisters

by Rebecca Chance

Three ambitious, rivalrous sisters. And a deadly secret, which one of them is determined to keep buried at any cost . . . Deeleyis the fake wife of a Hollywood TV hunk, who is secretly gay. But Deeley's five-year contract is up, and his cut-throat publicist wants Deeley out. So, dejected and penniless, Deeley wends her way home to London, hoping to re-establish links with her two estranged elder sisters . . . Devonis married to the nation's-favourite-rugby-hunk Matt, and has her own highly successful TV career, as the sexy hostess of her own cookery show. But behind her buxom façade, Devon is lonely and frustrated, and when a live celebrity cook-off shows her up as a fraud, she leaves sweet Matt and runs off to Tuscany, to learn a few lessons - not just in cookery - from an Italian master. Lastly, there's a politician's wife, Maxie is fiercely ambitious. She's furious when Deeley, hard on her luck, sells the sisters' childhood story to a tabloid newspaper, revealing their impoverished roots and unsavoury parentage. The story undermines Maxie's carefully cultivated image, and the fallout threatens to be devastating. But Maxie is only too aware that there is much more Deeley could yet reveal. What murderous secret lies in the sisters' past? And just how far will Maxie go to keep it buried?

About the author

Rebecca Chance was born in Hampstead to international art dealer parents, and grew up in the exclusive millionaire’s row surroundings of London’s St John’s Wood. Tiring of her cushioned, privileged existence, she ran away to Tuscany to live a wild bohemian life on a wine-making estate, where she lived in a 14th century villa in a Chianti vineyard, partying with artists, learning Italian, and picking grapes. But big city life was calling her, and after staying in Rome and Porto Ercole, she moved to Manhattan, lured by the glamorous single-girl existence and nonstop nightlife. She spent a decade living the Sex and The City dream in SoHo, equally at home in an uptown penthouse on Fifth Avenue overlooking the Metropolitan Museum, or downtown dancing on the bar of the Coyote Ugly for kicks. Eventually, a handsome American husband in tow, she moved back to London to settle down (as much as she can) and finally fictionalize some of her most exciting and glamorous experiences into her bestselling blockbuster novels.
Rebecca’s interests include trapeze, pole-dancing, watching "America’s Next Top Model", and cocktail-drinking.

I love Rebecca Chance's work. She is a guilty pleasure of mine. Whenever I read really intense books and want to read something sassy, witty, glamorous and pleasurable, full of scandal book I turn to Rebecca Chance. She creates outrageous characters that do silly, scandalous things and I keep on devouring every word. It's her signature style and I just love it.

Despite my usual love for Rebecca Chance's work, I did not like this book. I just couldn't get into it. Normally, I am hooked from the very first word of Chance's books but this I struggled to get into. But having known and love her work, I thought I'll get into it but that never happened.

This is a story of three sisters who have had something terrible happened to when they were younger and they drift apart but do become successful, rich and famous in their own way except for the youngest sister who didn't have a career but was making money by pretending to be a gay friend's girlfriend. The middle sister is married to a handsome rugby player and has her own cooking show on TV. The eldest sister is married to an MP and has a successful business of high end fashion. What's not to love, right? That's what I thought but the story even though scandalous, racy and glamorous couldn't hold my attention. I don't know if it was the errors in the book (as others have also pointed out) or just the story itself, I did not enjoy this so much so that I skimmed the last 100 or so pages.

Song for summary: Bad Blood by Taylor Swift

I absolutely loved this book! The characters are ambitious, beautiful, and devious; while the plot is full of glamour, rivalry, and seduction. This was a highly entertaining read, and I definitely recommend it for anyone in the mood for a juicy scandal!

['Nathan Burgoine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I recently had the opportunity to hear Rebecca Chance speak at the Saints and Sinners Literary Festival in New Orleans, and walked directly to the bookshop right after the panel ended. She was - in a word - hysterical.

Like many, I read Sidney Sheldon's If Tomorrow Comes and fell in love with the idea of a woman taking back the reins of her life after someone had destroyed it - and having delicious sex to boot. Rebecca Chance was described as “Jackie Collins meets Sidney Sheldon in a gay bar in St Tropez.” That description had me fully aware I not only needed to find her books - stat - but that I was about to have one of those magical moments that come to readers far too infrequently: I was going to discover a whole new favourite.

So - Bad Sisters. I'm a huge lover of audiobooks, so I nabbed this one and it's been my companion through chores for the last couple of weeks. By the time I was in the last third, I was doing as much laundry as I could, taking the dog for extra-long walks, and finding any reason at all to keep listening while I went about my day. It's engrossing. It's glitzy and sexy and full of family drama and dark secrets and murder. It's exactly as advertised, and I was completely engrossed.

The narrative seed is a deceptively simple one: three sisters who dragged themselves up from dirt poor nothings mostly by virtue of the eldest's uncompromising drive and skill are now living lives so far removed from their beginnings that it seems like that life belonged to other people. The eldest runs a huge business and is married to an upwardly moving politician, moving through the elite of London society. The middle child is a beautiful and curvy television cooking celebrity, happily married to a footballer who is a wall of muscled handsomeness, also living in London. The youngest is the oft-photographed and genuinely gorgeous girlfriend of a hot television star living in L.A.

But nothing is as it really seems for any of them - behind closed doors, all those relationships aren't quite what they appear to be, and when the youngest's relationship ends and she's forced back to London, the three sisters are once again put into each other's orbit and a deadly secret from their past is threatened. Glamour, cocktails, high fashion, sex, money, political power - nothing is safe when there's a secret that might not remain buried.

The story is so lavishly written - I could feel the textures, taste the drinks, imagine every glint of light on every piece of jewellery - and the depth isn't sacrificed in the slightest. Dipping into the heads of the three sisters in turn, you walk a mile in their stilettos, and even when they make poor choices, your empathy is evoked. By the end, I was so worked up about some of the characters and wondering who might make it out unscathed that I quite literally was walking circles with my dog to draw out my listening time just that little bit longer.

I should also note that the audio performance was absolutely top-notch. I have a few audio performers that, frankly, nudge me toward purchasing an audiobook even when the blurb might only have me mostly sold, and I shall add Lisa Milne Henderson to that short list alongside Jane Entwhistle and Jason Frazier. It's likely no surprise - as an actress, Henderson doesn't just read this book so much as perform it - but more than that, the voices and accents and characters came across brilliantly distinct. Obviously the writing has to be there for the foundation, but in Henderson's tones, the characters burst completely into life. That Lisa Milne Henderson is Rebecca Chance's sister just adds to the joy of it (and, frankly, I can just imagine some of the fun and not-just-a-little-bit-awkward conversations between the two when it was time to go over the scorching sex scenes.)

If you're looking for a new audiobook, and have even a passing interest in a gripping character-driven mystery with high society glamour and glitz, grab this. You won't be sorry.

There’s been much excitement as bloggers have been tweeting about reading Bad Sisters. Much enjoyment shared too.

At the start of our journey through the three sisters lives, the scene is set in the prologue when we’re in 1993. Deely is 9, Devon is 13 and Maxie the eldest at 17. Straight away we are introduced to their childhood and the secret that determines how the sisters react to the world around them.

We read about each sister in separate chapters, which flow seamlessly from one sister to the next. For example, at the end of one of Dev’s chapters, she takes a phone call from Maxie which leads into Maxie’s chapter.

Part One introduces us to each sister and their lives now. Deeley in LA, whose contract is up and has to go back to the UK. She hasn’t ever had any responsibilities in life and has always been protected. She’s always given the responsibility of her life to others. Dev and Matt who want incompatible lifestyles. Dev’s strategy to her loneliness is to comfort eat ……… and Maxie who has made a niche for herself in the Sloane circle and has to have control over everything (and actually does have control over her politician husband Olly and their life). One thing is very clear – both Dev and Maxie resent Deeley and her ‘easy ride’ through life so far.

Some readers may be shocked by Maxie and the things she does. A PR coup she arranges is heartless with such blatant disregard for morality. Her sexual preferences might also shock. My response is that actually, these things do happen in reality and we all have a shadow side that not everyone is able acknowledge – so the shadow never comes to light. Rebecca Chance is one writer that obviously doesn’t have any qualms in using our cultures shadows – respect to her! The world isn’t full of fluff and candy floss.

Talking of sex, there are some hot and steamy times for all the sisters. Not for the feint-hearted! Taken as a whole, the sex is part of the story that makes it a fabulous read.

The emotional scars the sisters have mean they don’t fully participate in life. I loved the psychological and emotional journey that they take. We see them blossom from shells of themselves into the woman they were meant to be, understanding who they are and what they’re capable of.

I was so caught up in their lives and the people in them that I wasn’t even looking for or guessing what the twist might be. Surprise! There is a twist! The way the two sisters stuck together and saw it through showed how far they had come.

I thoroughly enjoyed Bad Sisters and would recommend it to anyone who likes ‘seduction, intrigue, rivalry – and murder.’ I have Divas (also by Rebecca Chance) on my bookshelf and can’t wait to read that now!

I would like to thank Simon & Schuster UK for sending me a copy to review.

[The Basic Bookworm · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not really into girly contemporary novels, however the promising storyline was the reason why I decided to buy this book and give it a go. Like many of the other contemporary books I've read recently, this was definitely different from I would usually choose. I was pleasantly surprised by the writing and the themes behind the plot.

There were only a couple of things I could fault this book for. First of all, there were some mistakes in the writing that didn't add up and confused me. The murder weapon changed from a trophy to a vase, and the victim's surname was mentioned by the police as "Tennyson" when is was "Duncan". The issues can be overlooked, but I still think consistency is important. I don't like being confused like this. I had to go back and double check that I wasn't imagining things. First world problems, I know, but still. Second, I thought that the wrapping up of the story seemed unrealistic. Two weeks after the climax, the characters seemed to have a completely different life. How does it move that fast? A divorce was underway, people have hooked up or were beginning to, and an adoption was also beginning. Even under such circumstances, life doesn't move that fast.

Now, let's talk about what I liked about this book. The plot itself was what drew me in. It didn't have me on the edge of my seat, but it did hold my interest and made me want to know how things ended. Each of the characters had something that I could relate to: Deeley was attracted to a married man (I know how thoughts of him could take over your mind, despite him being in a committed relationship to someone else), Devon had body image problems (I can relate to how difficult is to maintain a healthy weight, and constantly worrying about what other people think), and Maxie was a perfectionist and protective of her siblings (I'm the eldest of three, so I know that I would do anything to protect them). I enjoyed the plot twist, despite it being a little predictable. I loved for the betrayal and revenge, romance and wholesomeness that this book provided.

Overall, it was a great book, despite its flaws. I don't usually like girly contemporaries, but this novel wasn't overwhelmingly fluffy or unrelatable. It provided enough romance and scandal to hit pause on my usual fantasy reads.

I absolutely love this author, as I always know that when a read one of Rebecca's books, I know that I'm in for a treat. Pure indulgence on so many levels, it's got everything.

I loved getting to know all of the different characters and there own individual stories which you get to discover as you progress through the book.

If you haven't read a her books before, then I highly recommend that you do.

A parlor game, drinking game and book?

Having read thousands of books in my life, I have never encountered anything like Bad Sisters. It was part English parlor game, Yankee drinking game and a mind-numbing story.

First the parlor game. Almost every paragraph and many "sentences" began as follows: ", while she was walking down the street." (quotation marks mine). What, pray tell, preceded the comma? I made a game of guessing. Was she humming, thinking of a way to snag her sister's husband? I merrily filled in the blanks, treating this as a form of charades. By the time I reached the end (yes, I finished it), I realized that I had composed almost half the book.

And the drinking game. I began to see phrases and punctuation marks show up mid "sentences". Some examples: "I swooned when I saw the most handsome 1-2-3 Cook man in my life." "I could not stop sobbing when '!' heard my sister screaming at me." I decided to turn this quirk into an excuse to down a shot of my favorite beverage.

And, of course, one does expect a story. From what I could glean, the cast was comprised of three drop-dead gorgeous English sisters, a gay Hollywood actor, a muscle-bound rugby player (the repetitive description of his musculature was akin to reading Grey's Anatomy), two Members of Parliament, a handsome bald Black man and an Italian prince.

The sisters shared a secret from their childhood, the two married sisters were not keen on their spouses and the unmarried sister coveted her sister's rugby player. The eldest sister, married to the MP, ran a successful business; the middle sister had a TV cooking show, despite her inability to cook; and the youngest sister had been banished from Hollywood when her gay boyfriend decided to come out.

The jacket of this book should have depicted a swashbuckling pirate tearing the bodice of a fair maiden's peasant blouse. It pains me to read women's fiction of this calibre. Having just completed reading two books that required much thought, I was ready for a light read. I should have stuck to anything written by Danielle Steele, whose books are easy reading, yet interesting.

One reviewer questioned the editing by prestigious Simon and Schuster. In the end, the imprimatur of Simon and Schuster is on this atrocity, but, to me, this was not a finished product. Perhaps these glaring errors occurred only in the eBooks. I choose to blame the entire fiasco on global warming.

I don't generally give a book I assume to be a chick-lit 5 stars (unless it includes cupcake recipes - as I have a weak spot for cupcakes!) as I see them as mindless reading fun rather than something that makes me think beyond the inevitable romantic conclusion. However, I don't think Bad Sisters is an ordinary chick-lit, if it falls into that category at all. While it certainly contains romantic relationships (and very sexy scenes) it's also filled with suspense, intrigue, drama and a generous dose of mystery that puts the reader's brain cells at work.

The novel tells the story of three sisters: Deeley, Devon and Maxie. Despite having come from a very poor and rather dubious background each of the sisters has worked their way up in life (although Deeley didn't do an awful lot of work to get where she is) and made something of themselves. They seem to lead perfect and glamorous lives, but they each have been carrying a heavy burden since they were little more than children in the shape of a big secret.

The three main characters have very different personalities and author Rebecca Chance manages to make all three of them believable and intriguing. Even if you don't feel fond of a character per se, you still want to know what happens in her life next as there seems to be a twist around every corner. Maxie is the ambitious one that studied at Oxford and is the real reason that her intelligence lacking husband is working his way up in parliament. Devon is a celebrity cook married to a celebrity sportsman and finds more comfort in her food than she does in her marriage. And Deeley is the young and (more or less) free spirited sister that after having lived in Los Angeles for five years returns to London and tries to reconnect with her estranged sisters which, while unintended, sets the wheels of the story into motion.

The novel is well put together, laced with secrets that makes the reader want to turn the next page as fast as possible. Add to that the glamour and glitz descriptions of clothes, food and very steamy scenes and you have yourself a fabulous read.

[Melanie Trevelyan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book follows the fortunes of three sisters, Maxi, Deeley and Devon. They all share a dark secret one which had to be buried to ensure the success they have built for themselves.
Each chapter follows one of the characters, the ruthless Maxi, TV cookery hit Devon and the Hollywood princess Deeley.

A terrible chain of events is set into motion when Deeley is sent packing from her comfortable Hollywood lifestyle and appeals to her sisters for help. Both are reluctant, their younger, needy sister will cramp their style.

All three of the characters are flawed and as the story progresses experience problems, Maxi is not as happy as she would have everyone believe, Devon's success is built om smoke and mirrors and her marriage is failing and Deeley has no idea what she is doing and where she fits in.

The action moves quickly and is easy to read and the end of the novel is a good reveal and a surprise but in keeping with the novel. I enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it, it is chick-lit at it's finest, a good does of intrigue and tragedy, a fair dollop of sex and angst and a happyish ending.

[Erika · Rating 2 out of 5]

Bellissima copertina, che mi ha fatto scegliere questo libro. Bel titolo...ma cosa c'entra con la storia? Niente! Molto meglio il titolo originale!
Oltre comunque al fatto che mi aspettavo un altro tipo di libro, questo non è particolarmente carino. In realtà era partito molto bene...sembrava un bel giallo e i personaggi descritti erano interessanti. A ogni capitolo la voce narrante cambiava e si conoscevano così le tre sorelle. Molto diverse tra loro ma tutte con un carattere molto forte e interessante.
Poi il tutto si è perso...mi sa che l'autrice ha cambiato idea sul genere di libro che voleva scrivere. L'ha trasformato prima in un romanzo rosa e poi in un romanzo hard, inserendo a caso scene hard che non c'entrano nulla con il contesto, per poi tornare a interessarsi del giallo concludendo in maniera veloce il libro.
Si alternano stereotipi (vogliamo parlare di Cesare, il latin lover italiano?) a comportamenti superficiali (la sorella minore si mette con il cognato con l'approvazione della sorella).
Se ne avessi letto solo metà sarebbe stato molto meglio!!!

Il libro "Donne con il tacco 12" mi è stato suggerito da un'amica la quale costantemente sottolinea la mia propensione per i libri troppo seri (a suo dire) e forse faccio bene.
La vicenda vede protagoniste tre sorelle estremamente differenti. Deeley è colei che non si è mai sforzata di far nulla nella vita se non truccarsi e mettersi un bel vestito per apparire al meglio visto che è la fidanzata di un noto attore holliwoodiano; Devon è la sorella in crisi con se stessa, nonostante suo marito, noto giocatore di rugby, la ami molto lei continua a vivere un rapporto conflittuale con se stessa a causa di alcuni chili di troppo; l'ultima è Maxie, il brutto anatroccolo, colei che ha sempre dovuto contare sulla sua intelligenza molto più che sulla sua bellezza, che manovra la carriera politica di un marito anonimo. Le tre sorelle nascondono un segreto pericoloso e faranno di tutto affinchè nessuno lo scopra.
La sostanza del libro è limitata ai soliti cliché, la donna bella che appare, la donna grassottella che per ritrovare la felicità nella sua vita deve vivere un percorso di accettazione personale e la donna brutta ma almeno intelligente. Il libro non mi ha in nessun punto entusiasmata.
La lettura è abbastanza scorrevole però al termine del libro effettivamente non mi è rimasta nessuna emozione.
Sicuramente un libro leggero, da leggere senza pensieri ma devi dire che non rientra esattamente nel mio gusto.

[Jaimee-Leigh Cope · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book and I found that I didn't want to put it down! I enjoyed the storyline of the girls growing up with a terrible secret and then learning the secret happened differently and was actually orchestrated by one of their sisters!! Great plot twist! I felt the anger the sisters experienced over this.
I didn't like the epilogue though as it seemed like Devon moved on so quick from her Husband and then was totally happy for her sister to start a relationship with him. This was super unrealistic. I feel like even if someone was to happily move on with someone new, they still wouldn't like their sister dating their soon to be ex-husband! Weird. Paired with this weird narrative, I feel like the epilogue could have been set further into the future too.
I did however love that Deeley and Matt ended up together and I found myself looking forward to her chapters to see if she did.

[Caroline · Rating 3 out of 5]

After several heavy novels this was a welcome release into something funny and in some ways easy to relate to. Three sisters each with their own problems (work, family, dreams etc) are connected by what happened to their "foster" Dad when they were children. Each claims to be close to her sisters but wanting different things from life their relationships are somewhat strained. When they reconnect after a few years and start digging things from the past, everyone gets a bit nervous. Cue a live TV cooking programme, a bit of whipping in government, yearning after someone else's Husband, adopting a baby from Africa and all bets are off!

Bad Sisters, is a novel that as soon as I first heard about it. I knew I wanted to read. Just from the cover I could tell that it would be another of Rebecca Chance’s fun, glamorous novels. After reading and loving her two previous novels, Divas and Bad Sisters, I now see Rebecca Chance as a younger fresher version of Jackie Collins, looking into the celebrity world in England.

Three sisters have a deadly secret that they must keep hidden at all costs. First there is Deeley who is the fake girlfriend of a Hollywood star, who is trying to hide that he is gay. Problem is his cut throat publicist wants to trade up Deeley for someone younger, prettier and more talented. Dejected and with very little money left Deeley heads home, to London, where her two other sisters are living. Deeley hasn’t seen her sisters in years and hopes coming home again she can rebuild the bonds that have been broken. Next there is Devon, who is married to hunky rugby player Matt. She has her own TV cooking show and is able to turn heads wherever she goes. Despite all she has Devon is lonely and when a live cook-off show goes terribly wrong, Devon runs off to Tuscany alone, and learns a few things in and out of the kitchen from a sexy Italian. Last there is fiercly ambitious Maxie, a politicians wife, who will do just about anything to maintain the image she has created including adopting a Rwandan baby she doesn‘t want. When Deeley sells a story about their impoverished past, Maxie is furious, Deeley could reveal much more and the fallout could be devastating. What secrets are the sisters hiding? And most importantly, will they be able to keep it hidden?

Bad Sisters, is told in different narratives by all three sisters, which I enjoyed as I got to know each of the characters individually and exactly how they were feeling about the situations that they were in. Each character is really well written and I found that I wanted to know more and was involved in the lives of all three sisters. Even though all the sisters have such different characters they are still all believable and fun to read about. Maxie was my least favourite sisters, finding her to be very self-involved, and this was Rebecca Chance’s intention. Devon, was someone I enjoyed reading about, sympathizing with her ongoing battle with weight, but I did find her to be very selfish at times. When reading about Devon and her husband Matt I was reminded of the British celebrities Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson. I do not know if this was Rebecca Chance’s intention but I found it hard not to compare Devon and Matt to this now ex-couple. Lastly, I sympathized with Deeely’s situation but did find her to be spoilt at times. As all these characters have faults that I didn’t like and aspects which I did, I think this makes the characters more real and human. I also liked the way in which Rebecca opened the book by telling us the sisters secret. I enjoyed this as it showed us exactly why each sister behaves as they do and it made me really route for the sisters. I liked the way in which each sister is shown to take an emotional and psychological journey as the story progresses.

Bad Sisters, is set in London but also has some chapters which are set it Tuscany Italy and Jersey. I enjoyed that Rebecca was able to successfully change from each location as each place the novel is set is described in great detail. This made me feel as if at times I could have been in one of these destinations. The scandals also played out well within the novel, which is laced with secrets, making me want to keep turning the page to find out exactly what was going to happen.

If there was anything that I would change about the novel it would be to learn more about the character of Maxie. Maxie has the least narrative within the novel, particularly towards the end, we do not get to witness how she is feeling and what she is experiencing. Perhaps a few more narratives from Maxie’s perspective would have led to us understanding her character a little more. There are also a few very steamy sex scenes within the novel, which some readers may not enjoy. I felt that these sex scenes were a part of the story and was in no way offended by them. If you do not enjoy the use of steamy sex scenes within a novel, then it may be best to stay away from this book. Other readers may also be shocked by some of the things that the character of Maxie is portrayed doing. I think that these situations made Maxie as a character and showed us a darker side of what happens in politics for publicity. I actually liked the way in which she showed that people will do bad things in reality.

I would defiantly recommend this book for anyone wanting some escapism into a rich and celebrity filled world. It would make a great sexy beach read that you could easily bed devoured in one sitting or a novel that you could take your time over. Bad Sisters is filled with seduction, suspense, rivalry and intrigue which means there is never a dull moment. Throw in the glamour and glitz that Rebecca Chance is so well known for and you have a fabulous read.
