Product Description

Felix Sylvian is a charming, silken-tongued dilettante, he has the sex-appeal of a school-girl's day-dream and the soul of a poet. But he has one nasty habit he can't seem to break: a sadistic tendency to ride rough-shod over any girl foolish enough to fall for him.
Saskia Seaton is Felix's latest victim. Once a beautiful, precocious aspiring actress, she is now a suicidal wreck after a whirlwind affair with Felix and a force ten finale. Retreating to lick her wounded pride, she decides she wants poetic justice.
And her friend Phoebe's the one to get it. With Saskia's help, Phoebe will become Felix's dream woman. She will pursue him across his London playground and seduce him until he falls in love with her and then she'll drop him just as he has so many women in the past.
But Phoebe doesn't realise that when she tries to break Felix's nasty habit, she'll find herself breaking her own heart ...

Customer Reviews

I want a sequel now or my puppy gets it!
I loved this book. I've enjoyed all Fiona Walker's books (Snap Happy not quite as much as the others!) but I fell in love with the characters in this book instantly. Phoebe is funny and honest, a Fiona Walker heroine at her best. I've read the French Hotel, Dinner party and end scenes so much I could recite them to you! You know what it's like when you can't wait to re-discover a book when you haven't read it for a while, well I want to do that now! Note to author: please write a sequel your characters are so lovably funny and mixed-up.

Whatever you do - read this!
This book nearly cost me my life, it should carry a 'danger to health' sticker on it. Do not attempt to read in the bath...... Kiss Chase, a side hugging, belly bursting, eye wiping treat that I simply couldn't live without. Having read it for the fourth time, I found myself finishing the last page, and starting immediately over again. Felix, Phoebe, Saskia and the gang are vividly written and strangely familiar characters, and if ever there was good advice on how to get a man - then the purple contact lenses work for me! If you want to buy someone something special this year, buy this!

Great
Got to agree with the other reviewers; this is one of her best books. A bit slow to start, I wish Felix had come into the story sooner but once he did I just kept turning the pages for more! Loads of humour, romance and heartbreak - I will definietly be keeping this one on my book shelf. My favourite thing about this book was that the author didn't wait until the last two pages before she united her characters like so many romances do. They get together half way though so you get to enjoy a couple of hundred pages of their relationship together. Read it.
