Glitter baby pdf

Fleur reluctantly becomes a model and an actress at the request of her mother. Jake does not want to use Fleur in his movie, but the director hires her. She is 19 and he is That is how they meet. The main story is about Fleur who is living a glamorous life, and then has nothing, then amazingly brings herself back to the world, developing brains, strength and relationships along the way.

She also must handle and fight through tough obstacles. Belinda is beautiful, superficial and manipulative. The story gets better once Fleur is in the picture. The book has a happy and fulfilling ending. I was so emotionally drawn into the characters and events. The author takes her time to develop intriguing and complex characters. This book was longer than most romance novels.

As I reread this in I was reminded of how good this kind of writing is when compared to many New Adult books. Glitter Baby has a lot of angst that is good, because the angst is from character conflicts. I hurt people close to me. In Glitter Baby, she hits the bottom and suffers, but she takes interesting action and does neat things. DATA: Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: pages.

I think this may be my favorite of the series so far. I've been listening to it on audio and the narration is fantastic. Multilayered characters, a story spanning decades, and often villains that you can empathize with.

Romance that is super spicy but truly realistic, even though it's set in a world of glitz and glamour.

This is the story of how what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, plus it's got heaps of redemption. Not my genre, but still much enjoyed it as well as the fine audio reader. View all 3 comments. I swear, Susan Elizabeth Phillips has sacrificed more virgins than the Aztecs. Usually by usually, I mean the 8 books I just inhaled , she wins me over with her banter and zaniness, but Glitter Baby was unappealing from beginning to end.

I can forgive a lot of plot ridiculousness as long as there's fun and chemistry along the way. And okay, some smut. However, there was too little fun and too much fuckedupness in this one. By the time you get to Fleur, the main character, you're so disgusted by everyone else that it's hard to care.

When alllllllll that and basketball! I wasn't cheering for the couple to get together even though I liked them individually. There's enough to the story to keep you reading, and I think Fleur developed into a strong character, but it wasn't enough for me to like the story overall. Another problem I had was that this book is part of the Wynette, Texas series and yet there's no mention of Wynette or Texas. After Book 2, Lady Be Good , I was really hoping to hear more about the townspeople and check in on Kenny and Emma, but there's nothing.

I wonder if the book was meant to be a standalone but then later marketed as part of Wynette because of Call Me Irresistible. I'm glad this wasn't my first or second SEP because it probably would've made me stop reading her books altogether. Of course, then I would've slept way more this past week, but I do really enjoy her other books, especially the Chicago Stars series.

Read those or skip this one and go straight to Call Me Irresistible. Waaaaaaaaay too much back story in this one! I tried to stick with it, but the hero doesn't even make an appearance until page and the heroine's selfish mother was grating on my last nerve. There was a hint of possible incest or statutory rape which I am not a fan of. Lots of name dropping and references to brands.

Ended up chucking this one. Such a shame because SEP is one of my favorite authors. If I had read her oldest stuff first, I probably wouldn't have bothered with the Chicago Stars s Waaaaaaaaay too much back story in this one!

If I had read her oldest stuff first, I probably wouldn't have bothered with the Chicago Stars series. And we all know how much I love the Chicago Stars!

Her striking looks, that she's never reconciled with the ugly ducking she began her life as, open her to a world of games and secrets that menace her very innocence. But no one threatens her heart and mind- until Jake Koranda. A hot actor who agrees to have Fleur act in the first movie both written and performed by him, at first, Jake dismisses Fleur as anot Sheltered and hidden away for most of her life, Fleur Savagar is not prepared for the glamorous world she's thrust into at such a young age.

A hot actor who agrees to have Fleur act in the first movie both written and performed by him, at first, Jake dismisses Fleur as another empty headed starlet wannabe. When he sees her determination to get every scene right, he realizes she's something more.

In one passionate moment he senses she threatens the walls he's built around his heart- and his very sanity. But betrayal is right around the corner and Fleur's parents are not ready to relinquish the bone of contention between them that is their only daughter.

Can true love survive in the world of broken dreams that The Glitter Baby was born into- or will she become just another star who shines bright and burns out before its time? If you've been reading romance as long as I have, Glitter Baby will take you back to the days of glitz and heat, when Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins ruled the bestseller lists. Novels stuffed with starlets, champagne, betrayal and- true love, there is an atmosphere created in those books that reel you in and let you escape for awhile.

But Glitter Baby has the one thread that many of the over the top novels from the golden age of romance did not- it has a vulnerable, smart, strong heroine who doesn't give up on finding her independence. She lives and love passionately, goes for what she wants but has a selflessness that women of today relate very well too. Fleur may have been dealt a raw deal with the family she was born into- but she never gave up and her attitude took her farther than her cold-hearted father's money ever could.

This novel makes you run the gamut of emotions like any good escapist reading should. However, it requires your attention because it doesn't spoon feed you it's plot and characterization. You have to journey along with the characters to "get them". Not many contemporary's out there now take the time to build a story like this anymore. I didn't realize how much I missed it till I read the last page.

If you only started reading romance, go back to one of the masters who helped to make this industry what it is today and read Glitter Baby. You'll be glad you did.

A couple of years ago I read some b0oks about the bad behaviour of some of the twentieth century's Hollywood stars, including Errol Flynn. Much loved in the movies, but IRL apparently Flynn was pretty much addicted to alcohol and sex.

I found it very plausible that he could have view spoiler [had a daughter like Fleur that he never knew about before his early death, hide spoiler ] and I got hooked into Fleur's dramatic story with its many twists and turns. The young Fleur is surrounded by horri A couple of years ago I read some b0oks about the bad behaviour of some of the twentieth century's Hollywood stars, including Errol Flynn.

The young Fleur is surrounded by horrible people who use her for their own ends. Her mother Belinda is shallow, selfish and helpless. Trapped in an unhappy life of her own making, Belinda lives vicariously through Fleur, forcing Fleur into a life she doesn't want but is too young and naive to be able to escape from.

Fleur's rich European stepfather Alexi is twisted and truly horrible and creepy. He uses and manipulates people, and seeks vicious revenge when his own warped desires are thwarted. Fleur has been blessed with a fair amount of natural intelligence and charisma, but as a young woman, her life is bound up and manipulated by her twisted mother and stepfather. It takes years for Fleur to eventually find herself and what she really wants.

I liked her character, and the twists and turns of her story kept me interested all the way through. I also liked Jake, Hollywood actor and Pulitzer prize winning writer, although it was much later in the book until we really learned much about him and what drives him. This book is basically Fleur's story. I found the storyline quite plausible, even though the behaviour of some characters is extreme.

After reading about the real life bad behaviour of some of the old 'matinee idols', and also about some of the horrible stage mothers who were quite happy to pimp out their daughters just to get them into movies, it wasn't hard to believe in characters like Belinda and Alexi.

So for me, this was a fast-moving and involving story, and one of Ms Phillips' better books. Originally written in the late s, the version I read was apparently updated in , although I'm not sure what changes were made to the original. Still, when reading, you have to step back into the twentieth century and try to imagine the times to really enjoy the book. I am not a fan of re-issued romances. This one was disappointing and I could not finish it.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips' books have obviously very much improved since this one was written. I think they must have decided to re-issue this one because the main characters show up nominally and years later in the new book "What I Did For Love".

If you are new to Susan Elizabeth Phillips please skip this one and try one of the newer books! If you are a SEP-fan, then this may be worth your while. But be I am not a fan of re-issued romances. But be warned that it is very different from her usual modern style. It seems to me more like the old Judith Krantz books or maybe Danielle Steel??? View 1 comment.

Jul 30, Dee rated it did not like it Shelves: romance , 1 , 1-r , also-book , author-susan-elizabeth-phillips , did-not-finish , boring. For me it was a rollercoaster ride and every time I thought it was going to get going it stalled There's no way to sugar coat it but I was bored and have moved onto the next. From what I could tell this book doesn't seem to have anything to do with Wynette so can't understand why it's in this series!

How the heck is this supposed to be part of the "Wynette, Texas" series? There's no Wynette in it. There's no hint of the previous couples.

It was written before any of the others, as well. I have to believe that is a mistake and since being part of the series is why I read this bomb I feel more than a little cheated.

ETA: Ah. Turns out Fleur and Jake are parents to a lead in a book later in the series. So anyway, the biggest problem with this book is the awful people at the heart of it. And How the heck is this supposed to be part of the "Wynette, Texas" series? And while I don't mean Fleur and Jake, you still see way, way, very much way too much of Alexi and Belinda.

Worse, SEP seems enamored of the selfish idiot Belinda so we get to spend whole sections including the stupidest epilogue of any of her books so far from her PoV. Difficult, talented, and tormented, he has no patience for international glamour girls, not even ones with beautiful bodies and smart-aleck mouths.

A tough-guy movie star with a haunted past. In a land of broken dreams, can two unlikely lovers trust their hearts? Phillips has crafted a highly entertaining story.
