2000s: Drop anchor, glam up, and meet me on the Riviera !
Jet down to the Côte d’Azur for a Riviera romance…
It’s a summer of millionaires, martinis and mega-yachts as Jenna Jenkins starts her new job as a party planner in glamorous Monte Carlo. And while the champagne flows on deck – and rumours swirl below – Jenna finds she has a real knack of helping the super-rich go overboard at their glittering events.
But behind Jenna’s San-Tropez-tanned back, there’s a tussle going on for her affections. While her darling boyfriend, Angus Linklater, is embroiled in his own Hong Kong hijinks, Jenna has caught the eye of a mysterious and oh-so-gorgeous billionaire, who is used to getting whatever – and whomever – he wants.
With a fabulous wedding to plan, old friends Hugo and Sally bursting with news of their own, and some shady dealings threatening to rock the boat, life in Monaco is never plain sailing. So drop anchor, glam up, and meet me on the Riviera .
If it’s a sunny destination you’re after then this is the book for you! The story starts in London and then we head to Monte Carlo where the level of glitz and glam is off the scale!
When Jenna first sees the harbour:
“Jenna looked at them there in the harbour sitting idle and empty, each one worth hundreds of thousands – millions- of pounds, bogging up and down in the gentle waters of Port Hercule. She couldn’t imagine that other famous Hercule – Poirot – thinking much of what his beloved Monte Carlo had become, his perfectly groomed mustache would wilt at the sight of such brash wealth.”
Some of the boats have funny names: Nautiboy and Aquaholic to name but two. When they go on one of the boats, they’re amazed by the plush setting and how the soft furnishings seem to muffle out the sound of MonteCarlo itself.
You get to experience some wealth in this book, spend time on those posh yachts and boats you often see. It’s quite the experience!
