Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Goodreads: Meet Me in Monaco by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb
Blurb: Movie stars and paparazzi flock to Cannes for the glamorous film festival, but Grace Kelly, the biggest star of all, wants only to escape from the flash-bulbs. When struggling perfumer Sophie Duval shelters Miss Kelly in her boutique, fending off a persistent British press photographer, James Henderson, a bond is forged between the two women and sets in motion a chain of events that stretches across thirty years of friendship, love, and tragedy.
James Henderson cannot forget his brief encounter with Sophie Duval. Despite his guilt at being away from his daughter, he takes an assignment to cover the wedding of the century, sailing with Grace Kelly’s wedding party on the SS Constitution from New York. In Monaco, as wedding fever soars and passions and tempers escalate, James and Sophie—like Princess Grace—must ultimately decide what they are prepared to give up for love.
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: This sounds amazing and I love the cover. It's been sitting on my shelf for far too long and sounds like a perfect summer read.
This looks really good and I love the cover. I have to add this to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteI have liked most of Hazel Gaynor's books that I have read but I don't believe that I have tried Heather Webb's work yet. This does sound promising!
