Review
'A rural romp in the Jilly Cooper tradition. A great plot filled with glamorous characters, a gloriously dysfunctional family and plenty of 'will they, won't they' intrigue to keep me engrossed till the end. Thoroughly enjoyable'

Customer Reviews

Fantastic...
I was recommended to this book by a friend of mine, and i'm so glad I was. What a fantastic book. I managed to read it over a weekend, and thought the characters in the book were fantastic, gorgeous sounding brothers (which one to choose?), and a totally dysfunctional set of parents intent on outdoing the other parent. The book was really funny in places, and I found myself chuckling out load many a time. Great setting, great characters, great storyline............please please write another book. If you read this review, and buy the book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Happy Reading !!

An amateurish and disappointing read
This was dull, cliched, clunky and very very badly written. And the characters were so shallow it was laughable. A real disappointment. It's an astonishment Headline actually published it - what on earth were they thinking?? Point of view changes happened every few paragraphs so it was very difficult to work out where you were at any one time, the conversations were completely unrealistic - how many men do you know who sit down and discuss their emotions and the meaning of love at great length with each other?? - the plot was very sloppy, and character development (where it existed at all!) was only shown through what clothes they were wearing. This kind of book is an insult to any reader, and certainly an insult to the genre.

Fabulous fun & frolics
I loved this book. Fantastic descriptions of all the characters and the setting made this book very easy to get into and once in I couldn't put it down, it's a really "feel good" read with a glamorous setting, gorgeous people including the fabulous brothers Will and Tristan (who wouldn't want someone like that in their life) and some really clever twists and turns. If you loved the early Jilly Cooper novels you will love this. So, if you haven't yet purchased your book for your summer holiday I would urge you to buy this one, you won't be disappointed, I cant wait for Sasha's next book to be published.
