53,55,56: trashy novels

53: Something Dangerous: Penny Vincenzi: ISBN 0752847910
55: Into Temptation: Penny Vincenzi: ISBN 0752849557
56: Riders: Jilly Cooper: ISBN 055215055X

Can't be bothered to write these up in full. The Vincenzis are the rest of the trilogy which started with No Angel. It does carry on following the same family, through until just after Celia's death. More romance, more intrigue, more publishing. Pleasant and entertaining enough. The Cooper is the first of her horsey blockbusters and is still a lovely read even though I've read it before. Not really much more to say. They're trash, but they're good at what they do and I enjoyed them all.

Trying to remember if I've read those Vicenzis. I think I've read No Angel, but the other two draw a blank. I quite like her for escapist reading, she's less risible than, say, Danielle Steel. Have you tried any Lesley Pearce? If you enjoy Vicenzi you'll almost certainly like Pearce. And her latest (Remember Me) even has some fairly respectable literary links as it's based on the same (real) people as Thomas Kenneally's The Playmaker and Timberlake Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good.
