Product Description

High fashion, high art, high expectations – this is Pretty Woman for the twenty-first century

Money makes the world go round – that's what twenty-something Grace Reeves is learning. Stuck in a grind where everyone’s ahead apart from her, she’s partied out, disillusioned, and massively in debt. If she’s dumped by another rock-band wannabe, squashed by anyone else at her cut-throat fashion job, or chased by any more bailiffs, Grace suspects she’ll fall apart...

So when older, sexy and above all, wealthy art-dealer Vaughn appears, she's intrigued against her will. Could she handle being a sugar daddy’s arm candy?

Soon Grace is thrown into a world of money and privilege, at Vaughn’s beck and call in return for thousands of pounds in luxurious gifts, priceless clothes – and cash. She’s out of her depth. Where's the line between acting the trophy girlfriend, and selling yourself for money? And, more importantly: whatever happened to love?

Get Your Sticky Mitts on 'Unsticky'
As a bit of a fashion addict, I approached 'Unsticky' with the same enthusiasm I muster for fashion based novels: I was prepared to be mildy amused. By the end of this book I was so much more. I was impressed that such a long book kept up such an entertaining pace and I fell in love with the heroine, Grace, and not so quite in love with the man she crosses more than paths with, Vaughn. The fashion detail was authentic without being overpowering, and any woman who has gone through her 20's making a hash of everything will find some of her life reflected in Grace's. I could not recommend this book highly enough, and I await Sarra Manning's next book with great anticipation.

Maybe I'm being dense but the title means nothing to me
While similar to her teen books with their screwed up heroines and complicated relationships the premise of a woman being paid to be a older, wealthy man's mistress means it's definitely not for younger readers. The book was good enough for me to read it one night, I loved the fashion aspect of the novel and the unlikely way the relationship between Vaughn and Grace develops. Essentially, it is a grittier, cooler, more stylish Mills and Boons novel. Definitely will be read it again and will be on the lookout for more of her novel. Thumbs up!

AMAZING!!!
OMG this is the best book I have ever read. I work in fashion and truly appreciated the fashion content in the book. I was gutted when I was coming to the end, really didnt want to finish as it just got better and better! HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!!
