Love is always just around the corner in a Jill Mansell novel - with a few surprises and a lot of humour on the way to happiness When Tessa Duvall, a struggling artist, reluctantly agreed to accompany her best friend Holly to a party at the elegant Charrington Grange Hotel, she had every intention of sneaking off early. For parties full of strangers bored the knickers off Tessa and this one proved to be no exception - until she encountered Ross Monahan, whose wicked reputation was as high profile as the hotel he owned and ran with such panache. But whilst Holly set about ensnaring his reluctant brother Max, Tessa simply accepted Ross for what he was, a sensational one-night stand...until she realised, weeks later, that one-night stands can have far-reaching consequences...
I ran across some Jill Mansell novels and I remembered reading these books in Dutch when I was younger. I got a bit in a nostalgic (romantic) mood and decided to pick one at random and read it.
I did enjoy it.. but it took waaaaaaaaaaay too long !! Everytime things finally seemed to settle down, some new drama appeared and she ran again.. Maybe this was not the best random choice, and I should have investigated a bit more.. But well, it was interesting enough and some major plus points though for awesome secondairy characters.
