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....

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

Jilly Cooper at her best!

I first read this in the 90s as a teenager and fell in love with it and Jilly Cooper; I’ve read it multiple times since and after watching the new TV series on Disney (which is brilliant!), I have listened to it on Audible this week. Rivals is still wonderful; yes, it’s dated in so many ways, but it’s rare to find a book where you become so invested in the characters. For me, the highlight has always been how deeply Rupert falls for Taggie - the scene where he crushes a glass at the ball and realises the true depth of his feelings is heartbreaking and beautiful. And so many of the characters are adorable; Freddie is a diamond, Declan is swoon worthy, Cameron so misunderstood. I will adore this book for the rest of my life; it was the first ‘bonkbuster’ I ever read and few can compare - it’s Jilly Cooper at her outstanding best. Simply put, I ADORE THIS BOOK! The narration was brilliant too!

Absolutely brilliant!
