NEW RELEASE
The Jewels of Manhattan - Carmen Reid (2011)
The Jewel sisters of Texas moved to Manhattan with dreams of success - only their lives don't work out as planned. When Emerald hatches a plan over Cosmopolitans to steal royal jewels, sisters Amber and Sapphire wonder just how far they will go to get the perfect life. This is the first stand-alone novel of Carmen's I've read. You instantly get drawn into the characters and drama from the first chapter, and from that point you can't put it down. If you've read any of the Annie Valentine books you can expect the same sorts of fun characters, over-the-top situations and a hint of romance. If you want an easy reading chick lit novel, then look no further. (AB)
The Jewels of Manhattan - Carmen Reid
Like every crazy plan, it was plotted out on a cocktail napkin. 1. Steal fabulous jewels; 2. Sell for millions; 3. Live happily ever after. Brilliant, perfect and oh so simple ... when you're a few Cosmopolitans down. Not quite so easy ... if you've never stolen anything before, and you're dating a detective. The three Jewels sisters, Amber, Sapphire and Em, came to New York in search of the perfect life. But things aren't working out as well as they hoped. Em has had enough. She wants fame and fortune, and she's got it all mapped out. Do the sisters have to steal their dream? Or can they resist the temptation?
