    About this audiobook

    Three twenty-something women, one hot rich guy, two mega movie stars, and a devastating murder: Jackie Collins's Poor Little Bitch Girl has it all.

    Denver Jones is a hotshot twenty-something attorney working in L.A. Carolyn Henderson is personal assistant to a powerful and very married Senator in Washington with whom she is having an affair. And Annabelle Maestro—daughter of two movie stars—has carved out a career for herself in New York as the madame of choice for discerning famous men. The three of them went to high school together in Beverly Hills—and although Denver and Carolyn have kept in touch, Annabelle is out on her own with her cocaine addicted boyfriend, Frankie.

    Then there is Bobby Santangelo Stanislopolous, the Kennedyesque son of Lucky Santangelo and deceased Greek shipping billionaire, Dimitri Stanislopolous. Bobby owns Mood, the hottest club in New York. Back in the day he went to high school with Denver, Carolyn and Annabelle. And he connected with all three of them. Frankie is his best friend.

    When Annabelle's beautiful movie star mother is found shot to death in the bedroom of her Beverly Hills mansion, the five of them find themselves thrown together . . . and secrets from the past have a way of coming back to haunt everyone. . . .

    A sexy and explosive novel from perennial bestseller Jackie Collins.

    Author

    Jackie Collins

    Jackie Collins has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair. With over 500 million copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with thirty-two New York Times bestsellers to her credit, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. Six of her novels have been adapted for film or TV. Collins was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) by the Queen of England in 2013 for her services to literature and charity. When accepting the honor she said to the Queen, “Not bad for a school drop-out”—a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true. She lived in Beverly Hills where she had a front-row seat to the lives she so accurately captured in her compulsive plotlines. She was a creative force, a trailblazer for women in fiction, and in her own words “a kick-ass writer!” Her fascinating life as a writer and icon is explored in the CNN Films and Netflix documentary Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story.

      Carolyn Henderson is so excited. She has some good news to share with her best friend Denver Jones concerning her married senator lover. Annabelle Maestro is the daughter of two big movies stars. With her boyfriend Frankie they also run a high class hooker service. Bobby Santangelo Stranislopoulos is the son of Lucky Santangelo and best friends with Frankie. Denver Jones is an attorney and is called in to represent Ralph Maestro when accused of killing his wife, and mother to Annabelle.These books are always full of Hollywood glamour, plenty of money, sex drugs and rock and roll. The plot is OK and all the characters are brought together.The book was a nice easy read and is perfect for the beach.

      As I listen to this I realize I've read it before. This is a good series.
    • 2/5
      I had quite a few issues with this book. It did have one redeeming quality, but I will get to that in a minute. To start with my negatives I will bring up how many times the other characters used the term "got off on" in reference to a character liking something. If it was one character that constantly stated, "I get off on doing this or that" than I wouldn't have been bothered as much because I would consider it a character trait. However, every character used the phrase religiously. Next I will go into the amount of times 'Gone with the Wind' was referenced within the first 100 pages. I get it. I like the movie too. Let's stop using it now.Another issue to add is the constant reminder that one of the characters is a big Hollywood actor. To do this the character was constantly described with the words "big Hollywood face". Not only did it get old, it also kept creating a cartoon-like picture in my head. Lastly, the body of the story was about a murder of a famous Hollywood actress. I figured finding out who the killer was and going through the process would mean something in the end. It did not. Basically, the story took us through the motions and then did a quick where they are now chapter at the end. It seemed like a lot to read about information that didn't really effect any significant change by the end of the book. Sure lives were affected, but not in the extreme.The only good thing about this book was the small love story of Denver and Bobby. It wasn't really in depth, but the Bobby character was an attractive read. Even though they didn't have much character development.

      Fun smut. Murder, sex, prostitution, kidnapping...it's all in here for your enjoyment.

      Mini-Review: Poor Little Bitch Girl centers around Bobby Stanislopoulos, Lucky Santangelo’s twenty-something son. He’s the co-owner of Mood, a Manhattan club. Bobby and M.J., his business partner and high school friend, decide to expand Mood and seek to open clubs in Miami and Vegas.Bobby also went to school with Annabelle. Originally from LA, she now lives in New York City with her boyfriend Frankie. The pair run a high-price dating service. Money is rolling in and Annabelle is starting to make a name for herself. When her mother is found murdered, her father is arrested. Annabelle returns to L.A. to grieve and seeks answers to her mother’s death.Denver is the attorney assigned to case. She also has a history with Bobby and Annabelle. Although she doubts either will remember her. As Denver throws herself into the case, a case which could advance her career, her friend, Carolyn has secrets of her own. Carolyn has been dating a married Senator and learns she is pregnant. Anticipating he will finally leave his wife, Carolyn tells him about their baby, but he is less than thrilled.Poor Little Bitch Girl is Collins at her best. The story moves quickly and soon the characters are reunited. What comes next is sure to keep the reader turning pages.

      Didn't feel guilty reading this. I liked the Denver character best, Carolyn was just too naive to believe and Annabelle was insufferable. The book's story lines nicely blended in the end. I keep wondering who the Zeena character's supposed to be in real life, hmm.
    • 3/5
      Okay, there is no way to defend myself from having read this other than the fact that I was in the mood for some flashy trash, which this book provided. Romps through people with too much money and too much sense of entitlement. Hookers, movie producers, actor and actress parents, the whole nine yards.However, it killed a good three hours, and was entertaining enough to do so.
    • 4/5
      In her latest novel, Poor Little Bitch Girl, Collins once again writes a page-turner of a novel filled with sex, friendship, a kidnapping, a murder mystery, and characters whose lives are on a collision course. And again, she succeeds in getting the reader's attention and keeping it.This novel is a perfect beach read, just in time for spring breakers to head south or on a cruise. Denver Jones, a hard-charging LA lawyer meets up again with former high school classmates Annabelle Maestro and Bobby Santangelo Stanislopolous. Annabelle's movie star mother is murdered and Denver is on her movie star father's defense team. No one in LA knows that Annabelle and her boyfriend run a high end escort service in New York.Bobby is the son of Collins' most popular recurring character, Lucky Santangelo, who makes a welcome cameo appearance in the novel. Another high school friend of Denver's, Carolyn, is a personal assistant to a senator with whom she is having an affair. When Carolyn goes missing, Denver and Bobby team up to help find her.The plot races at whiplash speed, yet Collins manages to create characters who are interesting. Denver is a favorite, falling for the handsome Bobby and having a torrid affair with an artist she meets in NYC and a Mario Lopez-like TV entertainment show host. (When it rains, it pours for Collins' female protagonists and sex.) Bobby is a chip off the old Lucky block, a hard-working, handsome, rich, good guy- every girl's dream.One fun aspect of Collins books is figuring out which real life rich and famous people are thinly veiled as characters. I also liked that this book has less graphic violence against women than in earlier Collins novels.And as always there is lots of sex in the book. Smart men might pick up a copy as a gift for their wives or girlfriends. Just make sure you are there when they finish it a few hours after they start it!

      Anabelle Maestro the daughter of two hottest and highest paid actor and actress in Hollywood. She is the one in the cover. Spoiled, rich, beautiful, sexy and wild. Which also means unappreciated, insecure, selfish. She moved to the east coast after dropping out of college in Boston to get away from her parents' fame and to venture on her own, she did alright, together with her coke addict boyfriend Frankie Romano they are raking in millions, running a very lucrative business - the high end prostitution ring in New York, geared for the most powerful, rich and famous men.Bobby Stanislopolous, son of the late Dmitri Stanislopolous, a shipping tycon and Lucky Santangelo a successful business woman who own a chain of hotels in Vegas and is married to Lennie, a Hollywood hot shot. Bobby partnered up with his best friend M.J, and together they are the owner of the hottest club in Manhattan- Mood. Bobby is obviously born into a family of achievers, in this book he seems to be the most successful and luckiest man, career wise. He is a loser when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex. It's not that he is bad looking, no. He was described as hot but he seems to picky and he seems to be attracted to women who seems to belittle him. One of these women is the cougar Megastar Zeena who has an annoying penchant in referring to herself in a third person every time she have a conversation with people.Denver Jones is a twenty something hotshot attorney in a prestigious law firm based in Los Angeles, she did two highly publicized case and won both of them. She used to be Anabelle's friend, and also went to high school with Bobby, MJ. One day, Gemma Summers, the most beautiful and talented actress in Hollywood was shot in the face inside her L.A mansion. Her boss Felix, put her on the case, looks like she is going to reacquaint herself with an old friend, since Gemma Summers was Anabelle's mother.Carolyn Henderson, is Senator Stoneman's assistant and mistress. She is educated, young and beautiful and she is my least favorite character. Nothing is fascinating or intriguing about her. Did she really believe that an ambitious Senator that she's been sleeping with for two years will leave his wife with excellent social and political connection and the father of his two kids? just because he managed to impregnate her? Carolyn is obviously a stupid and delusional, naive girl. Does she not watch TV?I've never read any of Jackie Collins' book been eyeing them for sometime now but I was never really serious of buying one. So I am extremely grateful that this copy was sent to me for review. Now I am a fan. I love this book. It has murder, glamour, sex, money, and juicy scandals.
    • 3/5
      I recently realized that I have read all of Jackie Collins' books. I think it is a vice that I am not really proud of. I find myself turning the book cover face down when in public, but I am not sure why. All said and done, I still love her books. Poor Little Bitch Girl had all the things I love about a Jackie Collins book - interesting characters, sex, familiarity, soap opera stories.
