The Birthday Party

Description

Secrets, rivalry, glamour - it's time for the party of the year... Delilah has lived out her tempestuous marriage to hell-raiser Raf in the glare of the media spotlight. Now planning a milestone birthday, she has more on her mind than invitations. Raf has been offered a part in a movie he can't refuse. But will he succumb to the temptations he's struggled to resist for the last ten years? Delilah's three daughters are building careers of their own, only too aware that the press are waiting for them to slip up. For the Rafferty girls might look like angels, but they are only human. It's the perfect recipe for a party like no other...

This is great fun and I raced through it ... nicely written, with an interestingly flamboyant family of well-observed characters at the centre of a pacy narrative ... it's entertaining and very readable. * DAILY MAIL * Dramatic, addictive and rather steamy! * CLOSER * Glam yet emotionally astute ... a sparky absorbing read which fizzes with life and and zip. * MSLEXIA * An exciting tale 4 stars. * STAR * Deliciously frothy * PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH * A fast-paced gossipy read, set in glamorous locations, with sumptuous descriptions and lively dialogue. * TELEGRAPH & ARGUS *
