I loved the main character, even when she wasn't very likeable. ( )
  Bebe_Ryalls | Oct 20, 2023 |
Judith Rashleigh is hoping to make a career in an exclusive English auction house when she stumbles on a suspicious sale, the knowledge of which eventually costs her her job. To keep her head above water she heads for Europe with a highly unattractive sugar daddy, and things go spectacularly downhill from there.

This is a wild yarn with a whirlwind plot but, honestly, Judith is such an annoying snobbish git one could never warm to her, let alone want to read the subsequent books in the series about her travails. Barely a paragraph goes past without the author name-checking some exclusive brand or another in order to build Judith's cred as a knowing fashionista. Hilton seems oblivious to the fact that the very last thing a truly stylish person would be doing is bragging about brand names; it's one of the many traits she gives this character that doesn't ring true and make her deeply unappealing.

If I could give this book less than 1 star, I would. Pure and utter trash! Absolute garbage! ( )
  Pilgriminal | Nov 12, 2022 |
This is one of those books that gets worse and worse as it goes. The first 100 pages or so were quite good fun - lots of globe trotting, art galleries, rich people and kinky sex. After that though I started to realise that was all ‘Maestra’ really had to offer. It ends up feeling like two different books clumsily mashed together: a rather pedestrian thriller about dodgy goings on in the art world (which even by the end I didn’t really understand) and a bad porn novel. The lead character (whose name I have already forgotten) is entirely unconvincing, not very likeable and two dimensional in so far as she’s like 2 one dimensional characters mashed together. Avoid!

I regret paying attention to whatever source recommended this cess to me. One half page was more than enough.
