Emily is having a bad day; a very bad day and it leaves her not only in a bind but in a mess. She has been fired from her job, lost her agent, and given the notice to vacate by her landlord. Scott appears to have it all, he is successful, wealthy, and handsome…. but he has a problem that he can’t fix, that is until he meets Emily….
Scott offers Emily a job at his remote home in France to help his wife Nina. There she meets both Nina and Scott and Nina’s daughter Aurelia. It is also there at the home in France that Emily learns that Scott and Nina have secrets.
I found this book to be both interesting and predictable. Will I remember it in months to come, probably not but it did serve to entertain me. The characters are interesting. The storyline is intriguing and the French home while it sounds like a dream come true, turns out to be creepy and strange.
Although I enjoyed this there was just that little bit of something missing in this for me. This is the Author’s debut novel and it shows promise and I will be on the lookout for more books from her in the future.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
