NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING ANNE HATHAWAY AND NICHOLAS GALITZINE ON PRIME VIDEO

THE SCORCHING HOT LOVE AFFAIR ABOUT THE MAN THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT . . .


EVERYONE IN THE WORLD KNOWS HIS NAME. BUT IT'S YOU HE WANTS.

To the media, Hayes Campbell is the star of a record-breaking British boyband.

To his fans, he's the naughty-but-nice front man - whose dimples and outlandish dress sense drive them crazy.

To Solène Marchand, he's just the pretty face that's plastered over every girl's bedroom wall.

Until a chance meeting throws them together . . .

The attraction is instant. The chemistry is electric. The affair is Solène's secret.

But how long can it stay that way?

I don't think I'm the target audience for this book. I'll admit, I bought it because Anne Hathaway is in the film, but I don't think even she could save this for me. Boy bands, and a woman who is so hung up on her age that I wanted to give her a good shake.
If you like erotica, you're in for a treat, and if you enjoy a book about age differences in relationships you may well enjoy it too. But it would have been so much better if she hadn't been constantly worrying about the 20 year age gap. I mean, men do it all the time! I would've respected her more if she'd just enjoyed herself.
