Twenty years later, Michael, a young film journalist, arrives at her suburban home and discovers the still vibrant and alluring Diana. Between her sheets, he hears for the first time the reason for her disappearance – a tale of coercion, shame and blackmail.
To his shock, he learns that those who destroyed her career and ruined her life still have their claws in her.
Totally smitten, he promises to help her. But Michael soon finds that the past doesn’t let go easily…
Diana Christmas – A new thriller of desire and betrayal from F.R. Jameson.
My Thoughts
I want to thank the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I am a little torn with my feelings about this book. On one hand it’s a very quick and easy read and it drew me in from the very beginning but I couldn’t stand the female lead character. Maybe that could be looked at as a good thing though. I mean the author must have done something right to make me hate a character so much.
You learn early on what happened to Diana to make her leave the industry so that’s not a big mystery. It’s full of twists and turns that you want see coming and for me personally it was a little too descriptive a times.
I did enjoy reading this but I just can not get over how a grown ass woman acted the way Diana did and the way she treated a certain person. I can’t really explain it without spoiling the book but she just really made me mad.

Totally understand your point, Misty. I’ve also experienced times when I’m reading something and the main protagonist is unbearable… I cant stand him/her.
It would be so interesting to find out how our subsconscious decides on whether to like something or not!
I’ve read an article that, when you meet a person for the first time, 5 seconds is enough for the brain to make conclusions

Yeah that would be interesting to know!! Huh that doesn’t seem like much time at all to be able to come to a legitimate conclusion on stuff.

In fact, a point which is debatable in criminology nowadays is if the person did the crime or the brain. It may sound silly, but: recent studies found out that our brains make decisions 5 seconds before we make them!! 😮

Yeah, brain-related things are very mysterious and cool! For example:
