The Riviera means indulgence—if you’ve got money. For Sadie Reynolds, a down-on-her-luck student, the Riviera means dingy hostels and back streets. When a wrong turn puts her in jeopardy, the last thing she expects is to be saved by the most handsome stranger she’s ever locked eyes with. When she later wakes up in a luxury suite with a Mediterranean view, she’s in the tender care of her rescuer: Olivier Dumont, France’s most eligible bachelor, billionaire hotelier, and heir to the Dumont fashion fortune.
Olivier also owns his reputation for scandal. But Sadie is unlike any woman he’s ever met. Her humble persona and wild innocence promise real passion. He’s promising Sadie something too: anything she wants. From Bordeaux to Cannes to Paris, Sadie’s past in America is swept away and replaced with a fantasy too good to be true.
Pulled into Olivier’s orbit of wealth, glamour, and excess, Sadie discovers that the Dumont dynasty comes with a legacy of wicked secrets. And Olivier’s secrets may be the most damning of all…

I am a huge Karina Halle fan but being 100transparent this wasn’t my favorite Halle book. I felt like it’s been following the same paths as so many other stories and specifically, even Halle’s last book “My Life in Shambles,” which I totally loved but this almost felt like a retelling with different names and a bit more at the end. We have the rich and famous Oliver falling instantly for just a regular ol’ girl (Sadie) that’s full of insecurities. Doesn’t that sound like a million other books out there? I think that’s my main issue. Now, the first half I felt like this. The second half Halle seemed to take a twist and ventured into more suspense… which I loved. I felt like a fish out of water… on one side I totally loved the story and on the other is felt like the same old story with different names.

Thankfully the story had all of Karina Halle’s excellent writing… she’s able to have a deep balance between love and lust. I loved the balance between Oliver and Sadie. However, my favorite parts were the darker areas… the suspense with Pascal. I seriously enjoyed the action… those pages just flew by! I almost feel like Halle has missed her calling and should be a suspense writer!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
