Trinity: Sexy, scandalous, summer reading

I was lucky enough to win a copy of this so it didn't sit around on my Kindle for months before I got round to it as free downloads usually do !It is a very "girly" type of story, not for the men, really, yet written by a man which I found surprising. It brings to mind the Jackie Collins books I used to read more of in my twenties. After a while I got a little bored with them all being quite samey so tend to read murder 'n' mayhem more often nowadays. It's nice to have a bit of frothy escapism at times, though, to keep my hand in !!The Trinity of Regan, Evie and Nush were interesting as a lot of the time they weren't very sympathetic characters. Nobody in the story seemed happy to be faithful either, it seemed, which is quite sad and a jaded way of looking at things, really. Of the trio I probably liked Evie the most. She seemed the most grounded and least promiscuous of the lot of them.He used a couple of characters I thought he sailed pretty close to the wind with as they were easily recognised as current celebrities.I was disappointed at the mistakes in it, though. Some were howlers, I thought.It's an e-book staple these days to happen upon apostrophe errors but there were a lot of spelling errors in this as well. A couple of times women used instead of woman, rites instead of rights, flare instead of flair, bearing and not baring,wrack and not rack and VERY annoyingly after I'd congratulated him to myself on knowing the difference between poring and pouring because he got it right, he suddenly got it wrong 2 or 3 times !! There were quite a few places where commas were needed, too. "I can't lie Stafford" and "There's no creepy-crawly honey" and "Sorry about this Nush". They all read wrong without them.There were some very funny lines in it at times which I liked. It would have been 4 stars if not for the mistakes.

Trinity was probably one of the most addicting reads for me so far this year-it was like watching your favourite soap opera and reality show rolled into one glittering ball of insane goodness. With more twists and turns than the most memorable episodes of The Young and the Restless and As the World Turns combined, Nigel May's Trinity had me scandalised and thoroughly entertained from the first to the last page. I can definitely see why Trinity appeals to fans of Victoria Fox and Tasmina Perry and indeed the authors themselves!May's novel features a host of intriguingly sinful characters-both the main and secondary characters were brilliantly written. I actually found myself enjoying some of the stories of the supporting characters more than anything else, particularly that of Regan's mother, Montana. I just found her (and Lawrence!) to be such horrible people that I couldn't get enough of them. Funny how that works.There's a fair bit of sex in Trinity but it's not over the top and on every other page. It's realistic without losing its sexiness-always good! I wasn't cringing at the couplings and dirty talk-not an easy feat. And a bonkbuster written by a man! Revolutionary!My only issue was that there were a few spelling/grammatical errors that were overlooked. I understand that May is now going to correct these errors in the Kindle version; at the end of the day the story and characters were so enjoyable that the mistakes didn't detract from the book. I'm eager to see what May comes up with next.If you like your fiction sexy, sweaty and full of intrigue, Trinity is definitely the book for you this summer.

Trinity Well I have just finished reading Nigel May's bestselling Trinity! One of the quickest reads I have had for a long time and also one of the most enjoyable. The characters are all full on and with not too much imagination one could relate their escapades to more than one "Celebrity" in the news on a daily basis. Some good twists and turns, some expected and some definitely not so and a brilliant "set up" towards the end.Nigel I can't wait to read your next novel - I hope it is as good.On the downside, I do have to agree with another review on here - the proof reading did leave a lot to be desired in places - I knew what was supposed to be written but it does put you off your stride when you spot something which is glaringly obviously wrong. It is a shame because although it didn't spoil the story it did take the edge of what was a brilliant first novel. Keep up the good work Nigel. Maybe each of your next three books could follow each of the three main characters - maybe heading towards an ultimate explosive fifth book where they all come back together for one exciting finale?? Can't wait. Thank you Nigel for providing me with a fabulous read on my holiday.

If you're looking for some trashy, brashy and raunchy escapism then say hello to Nigel May's debut Trinity. Based in London Trinity meanders its way through the glamorous and scandalous lives of a privileged trio of twenty somethings Regan, Evie and Nush. All three girls are looking for love in all the wrong places. Trinity reads like a pitch for a television commission and its formulaic approach does not challenge but becomes an enjoyable yet familiar read. It's all here, the bitch, the whore, the innocent, the devious, the deluded and the dam right ruthless, all fighting for attention page after page.The easiest location to set up the world of Trinity would have been New York but May's smart decision to remain on home turf is what sets his debut apart from the crowd. At times it is hard to have empathy for the lead characters as they individually personify greed, jealousy and self pity along with an overwhelming need to prove their worth, this in itself is Trinity's pitfall but perhaps to some its main draw, besides who doesn't want to indulge in the world of celebrity sex and witness the highs and lows of the mega rich? The sex scenes will make you gasp and giggle, the humour is quick, sharp and dry and the final scenes tie up all the loose ends pleasingly. It's easy to see where the Trinity could go next and I will eat my feather boa if we don't get a triple Trinity treat.
