Coming off the heels of Lovers and Gamblers, which was a plodding mess filled with miserable characters, this was a joy. Nearly novella length, the plot moved at a breakneck pace, the debauchery didn’t take away from the story, and the characters were fun to be around.

bookdarling1987's review
THE BITCH is the story of two characters: Nico Constantine who married into wealth at a young age, and Fontaine Al Khaled, who also married into wealth. Both of them are single by the time they meet accidentally on an airplane. Instant attaction....
The novel of course has several subplots weaving in and out, with lots of gratuitous sex and outrageous plot twists. But that's expected from a Jackie Collins novel. Nico finds he's dead broke and spends the rest of the novel trying to get himself out of this mess (big time gambling debt). Fontaine in the meantime is trying to rejuvenate her London night club, while at the same time ignores all advances from Nico, although deep down she is very attracted to him.
For a quick light read and some trashy writing, THE BITCH is recommended.

The Bitch is one of the shorter novels from Collins, however this does not mean it is lacking in any way. This novel has all the ingredients that make a Jackie Collins book a Jackie Collins book.
I actually really enjoyed this one, I think so more than the Stud which is technically the first in a duo-logy. Although you can read either as a stand alone. It surprised me really as Fontaine is not a character you can bond with, therefore I did not think I would enjoy reading about her. I was wrong, mainly because Nico, the other main character, is a dream to read about. The ending came quicker than I was expecting, however Collins did round it all off nicely.
If your looking for a nitty gritty book that you can get your teeth stuck into, this is not it. However if you are after something short and sweet, possibly to read on an hour long commute, this will do the trick! Short and sweet, just like this review!

Jackie Collins knows how to add everything in a book from drama, to romance, to murder, to drugs!
The characters in these books are so intriguing and you can't help but love them, even if the main protagonist is a Bitch ;)
This is one of her shorter books but it still managed to have an intense plot.
Nico, who is a handsome ladies man, loves the casinos... unfortunately for him though, he ends up owing the owners of the casino a lot of money! So we follow him on his journey on trying to get the money to pay them back, but whilst this is happening he ends up crossing paths with the bitch, Fontaine Khaled. And it is an instant intense lust that happens between them.
I really enjoyed the romance in this book, as it wasn't instant puppy love. They are both smartass's and bought something different to the relationship.
I thought the storyline was interesting as it kept me on my toes, as Nico came across a lot of obstacles trying to get the money to pay the mobsters back.
Jackie Collins is my favourite author and I just love her writing style.

I'm not sure why I picked this book up to begin with but it resulted in a few wasted hours of my life that I'll never get back. This was my first and last Jackie Collins book.
