The Santiago Sisters

Powerful..compulsive and intriguing story, that is fast paced and Victoria Fox at her best. This has to be one of the best poolside reads of the season, with its glitz, glamour, secrets, strong female characters, sex and even some sun!

I was hooked from the first page until the last, as I was drawn into the tale of twin sisters Calida and Teresita Santiago, as you learn of their vastly different lives from childhood until the incident in the prologue.

In fact the prologue and small snippets of what was to come were cleverly inserted through the book, but in such a way that although you understood the action, the involved characters are kept a secret until the last possible moment, where the pace is ramped up further and the book reaches its dramatic conclusions.

Two sisters, who both believe the other no longer cares about them, due to one decision on behalf of their mother. The first part set on an Estancia in Argentina was fascinating, as its the sort of location I didn't know much about before reading the book, but one that I got a decent feel for as I was reading the book.

I was bewitched by the storytelling, and it reminded me of how much I love this author, as its been a few years since I read anything by her, although suddenly I don't mind waiting as long for a book, when you then read something with this level of quality and enjoyment.

A simply superb summer hit book, The Santiago Sisters, was an unputdownable triumph to read, spanning a 20 year period, and a solid look at the lives of twins, that have been separated and still seem to have various things in common.

Thank you to Netgalley and MIRA for this review copy. This was my honest opinion.

I absolutely loved this book. The perfect summer bonkbuster that VIctoria Fox does so well, a must go to book when I see it on the shelf. This book is full of characters you love to hate and the ones you cheer for from the sidelines, it's full of romance,greed,beautiful locations,revenge and sex. A easy read which you can devour in a couple of days transporting you into another life. Loved, loved this book well done Victoria Fox you a most defintley done it Again.

I really enjoyed this tale of Calida and Teresita, two impoverished girls from a remote part of Argentina, whose paths follow very different tracks.

Bonkbuster queen Victoria Fox is back with a sexy, sparkling and scintillating read that will keep you glued to your sun lounger: The Santiago Sisters!

Calida and Teresita are twins in Argentina whose bond is as strong as it can be. Inseparable since birth, the two girls cannot imagine a life without one another until world famous actress Simone Geddes stumbles upon the twins in their estancia in Argentina and realises that one of the girls would be the perfect candidate to star in her latest pet project: motherhood! Taken away from everything she has ever known, Teresita is whisked away from her home in Argentina to a world of unimaginable riches, opulence and glamour.

Although the twins have always been close, they couldn’t have been more different. While Teresita has always been a dreamer with a yearning for money, fame and the bright city lights, Calida has always been perfectly content with her simple life surrounded by land and her horses. The bond between the two girls was so powerful that it was meant to withstand and triumph against any obstacle standing in their way, but with half a world between them, the connection that had once been so strong is severed cruelly and sisterly love is replaced by doubt, suspicion…and hatred!

While Teresita’s life is full of indulgence and hedonism, Calida’s is one full of struggle, pain and anguish. However, Calida is not a quitter. She is determined to fight her way to the top and not let anybody or anything stand in the way of achieving her objectives – regardless of the multitude of sacrifices which she must make in order to fulfill her goals. As secrets, scandals and shocking revelations come to light, the two girls find themselves back in each other’s lives, but will their relationship ever recover from the betrayals of the past? Will a deadly enemy jeopardise everything which they hold dear to their hearts? Or will they condemned to a lifetime of misery, regret…or worse?

If any further proof was required that Victoria Fox is the heir apparent to Jackie Collins’ throne, then look no further than her latest sensational novel The Santiago Sisters! Packed with jaw-dropping twists and turns, red-hot sex scenes that will make your pulse race, larger than life characters, nail-biting drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat and lashings of glamour, The Santiago Sisters is a spellbinding and captivating tale that I found absolutely impossible to put down!

Fast-paced, fabulous and so much fun, if you only pack one book in your beach bag this summer, make sure it’s Victoria Fox’s outstanding bonkbuster triumph, The Santiago Sisters!
