Odette, who looks like Linda Lusardi in a DKNY suit and has more zeros at the end of her bank balance than an astronomer’s altimeter, decides to throw up the high-powered job that doesn’t leave time for relationships and start her own club/restaurant. But the venture seems doomed before it has even begun, cursed by a seductive sleeping partner who sleeps around, and a rival chef who is as gorgeous as Jean-Christophe Novelli and as temperamental as Marco Pierre White. When a tall, bullying South African game ranger joins her law suitors and triples her interest, Odette plots their downfall. If revenge is a dish best eaten cold, where better to serve it than in a restaurant? But as she jumps from the frying pan into the fire, she might end up getting her heart broken, her fingers burnt and her goose cooked . . .

If you're looking for an un-put-downable holiday read, this is it
Turn down the lights, get yourself a drink and settle back for a belter of a tale, for this is an author who remembers what so many of the current lot forget: you can't go wrong with a really good plot.
Pure, gorgeous, expertly constructed escapism.
