The Hamptons
Linda Dominique Grosvenor
(Reviewer - Rebecca Brown)
2004 Sadorian Publications
ISBN: 0974171425
A new divorcee, determined to enjoy a summer of forgetfulness, is seduced by a handsome stranger with dark intentions.
Joelle Sinclair is a self-professed art lover with a flair for putting together elegant power-play fundraising events. Flush from her success at a New York art museum & with nowhere to live, she heads north to her sister's beachfront property on The Hamptons, in her candy apple red sportscar. As she drives, she's hoping to put behind her a failed marriage & their “conquer & divide” divorce.
She's a 30-something sophisticate with alimony enough from her philandering, Park Avenue cosmetic dentist ex to keep her in the style to which she's become accustomed & she's game for some adventure.
That comes in a delicious hunk of a man who approaches her while she's sunning on the beach. Although she's reluctant to get involved in anything more than a dinner, Jabari Mitchell has something more in mind, & before she knows it Joelle's bidding at a charity bachelor auction for a date with him, to the tune of 20 grand!
Then she lands a job at a local art gallery & an end-of-summer bash to promote its stunning collection of jewelry. That's when Jabari seems to pop up every time she turns around to pour on the charm. Joelle succumbs, & the chaos that ensues is both fast-paced & dangerous.
The Hamptons is pure bubblegum for a hot summer afternoon.
