Everything's coming up
roses for Fleur Daxeny, as she goes through more rich men than she does
designer hats... if that's humanly possible. Beautiful, charming, and
utterly irresistible, her success at crashing funerals to find wealthy
men is remarkable. But behind Fleur's Harvey Nichols wardrobe, is a
woman with a mysterious past.
Fleur wastes no time in seducing
her latest conquest, the handsome and rich widower Richard Favour, and
she swoops into his life like a designer-clad tornado. His children are
caught up in a whirlwind as their father's new girlfriend descends on
the family estate leaving chaos and excitement in her perfume-scented
wake. Soon, more than one family member is suspicious of Fleur's true
intentions.
Fleur is not one to wear her heart on her Chanel
sleeves, but she soon finds herself embracing Richard and his lovable
family. But just as Fleur contemplates jumping off the gold-digger train
for good and enjoying the ride of true love, a long-buried secret from
her past threatens to destroy her new family. Fleur is thrown into a
race against time to prove herself to Richard before it's too late. Can
she trust her heart or will she cut ties and run away as fast as her
Prada pumps can take her?

MY REVIEW
Having recently read and enjoyed The Wedding Girl, I was looking forward to picking this up. I was expecting a similar theme/plot where the main character either makes a mistake or has a bad character trait they can't get out of and the rest of the story is watching that play out, and I wasn't wrong. That didn't mean that I didn't enjoy it. This was just the type of story that I was looking for at the time and that is what I got.
What I loved about this story was the main character Fleur. You can obviously see that she has a problem and seemingly she is ok with it and carries on, irrespective of the people she hurts along the way and those people didn't seem to show that much distress from what I read in what she was doing.
There were not many characters I liked in this story, for many various reasons, but there was one character that I really disliked and that was Richard's son when he featured more nearer the end of the novel. He was very pushy and, to put it simply, very annoying. Now this may have been for good reasons and maybe he was concerned for his father, but the way this character came across I felt was completely unacceptable.
That said, I would highly recommend this if you are looking for a no frills story that keeps you entertained all the way through.
