The
third instalment of the captivating Jersey Scene series. Izzy and her best
friend Jess are badly let down when a Jersey socialite, who has agreed to hire
their entire vintage party stock for her upcoming wedding, decides to elope instead
- leaving the girls with no bookings and no money. Feeling despondent, the
girls try a night out to cheer themselves up, and meet the captivating and
aristocratic Ed, who invites the girls on a cruise to Nice on his yacht,
together with his two brothers. Romance builds on the luxury trip, but when a
last-minute wedding booking is offered, the girls must return to Jersey, and
real life has to begin again ...or has it?

ABOUT GEORGINA TROY
Georgina Troy lives on the island of
Jersey and when it’s dark she can see the lights in France from her bedroom
window. This isn't surprising as Jersey is only fifteen miles off the French
coast. She's an impossible romantic and likes nothing more than creating
gorgeous heroes. Her books are published by Accent Press.

My Review
As always with Georgina Troy, there is a
wonderful backdrop of Jersey coupled with romance – pure escapism. I always
look forward to reading her books and this one was no exception. If you add in
a smattering of France too then there is a heady combination. What I really
enjoyed though was the relationship between Jess and Iz, who run an event
planning business. The characters are
never black and white but grow on you. Likewise the spoiled little rich girl
who cancels at the last minute leaving Jess and Iz pretty much without an
income has hidden depths. By stripping away the layers we get to see these
characters for better and worse. I must admit to being quite smitten by
romantic Ed myself! After all, how many people are invited out of the blue to
go on a cruise with a handsome Frenchman and his brothers? Of course, it’s not
all plain sailing but that’s what develops the characters. Lovely, escapist
read best enjoyed with coffee and chocolate for maximum effect.
4/5
