A Jersey Dreamboat

                                                                               


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
