And here it is! Excuse me while I have a little squeal. Naturally, I wouldn't expect anyone to purchase it without reading at least one honest review, so here's another chance to read the review that was published on the fabulous Incy Black's blog at the weekend:
Tempted
by Trouble has future Pulitzer Prize winner written all over it. Alice Walker,
John Updike, Philip Roth and Cormac McCarthy can all move over – there’s a new
literary genius on the scene. And, unlike those often bleak books with endings
full of despair (yes, McCarthy, I’m looking at you), this book has a GUARANTEED
happy ending (sorry, spoiler).
Where
2012 was the year of Hilary Mantel and the marvellous Bring Up the Bodies, 2013
will be the year of Michelle Smart and Tempted by Trouble. Where Mantel’s book
charted the role of Thomas Cromwell in the downfall of Anne Boleyn, Tempted by
Trouble charts the havoc that troubled socialite Pippa Rowantree causes for the
reclusive billionaire, Marco Capello. Even better, where Bring Up the Bodies is
set in the dreary Middle-Ages, Tempted by Trouble is set in the Caribbean! Yes,
this book is full of sun, sea and emotional conflict aplenty. What more could
you ask for?
Yes,
Tempted by Trouble is that good. Honest. So good in fact, I’m going to give it
a maximum 10/10, five gold stars and an A+.
