Do You like book Lovers And Gamblers (1978)?
Loved it. Was a bit surprised to see Evan die, but I guess it had to happen. But honestly, this is one of the reads of the year. I always say, no one does it better than Jackie.

when success takes hold of your life, it can be tough keeping a grip on your sanity al king - a soul superstar and a legendary stud dallas - a smouldering beauty with big ambitions he is determined to f*** her and she is determined that she will not be - or is she? 800 pages of paperback which frankly i found rather drawn out and repetitiveplus the final scenario in the s.a. jungle seemed an add-0n just to extend the novel and was really not plausable. plus to remove a metal spear from someone's chest would have resulted in their immediate death bev p.s. they should also sack the proof reader
