so-soAidan and Liam are asked to guard an unwillingly-retired minor Russian oligarch in self-imposed exile in Monaco, who has had an attempt made on his life.
As they approach the big 40 the boys are wondering if they are aging out of the personal protection business and TBH I'm wondering the same about this series. This entry felt kind of meh. I also read the first chapter of the next one and am not feeling any urge to continue. Maybe another time.
Many characters appeared in both these books: Gerald & Sara Murphy, Hemingway, F.Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Picasso. Riviera Gold is a Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes suspense novel, set among American expatriates in the Riviera, France.
Starting this today. #libraryhaul
Love the cover!

Read & finished The Paris Bookseller yesterday(Friday),
pickJames Henderson, a paparazzi, will chase Grace Kelly into Duval, a perfume store in Monaco, where she will meet the owner and perfumist, Sophie. All 3 will have no idea how important this chance meeting will play out. This is a romance set against the backdrop of Grace Kelly‘s engagement to the Prince of Monaco. It was sweet and lovely. It had me feeling wistful. There were some one liners in here that just turned my heart light on. Pick!
pickI enjoyed this historical fiction tale about two “ordinary” people - a French perfumer and a British photographer - caught up in the excitement and glamour of Grace Kelly‘s marriage to Prince Rainier in 1956. The details of the craziness surrounding the wedding were fascinating. I also enjoyed learning a bit about how perfumes are created. And the descriptions of the gorgeous Côte d‘Azur scenery made me want to hop on a plane to France!
pickThis was a sweet, fun romance set to the backdrop of Grace Kelly‘s royal wedding.

I have always been fascinated by Grace Kelly who was Hollywood #Royalty before she became Her Serene Highness The Princess Grace of Monaco. I have these two books on my Kindle TBR that I will eventually get around to reading. 👑🤍
pickFinished this one today and really enjoyed it! I‘m not an old movie person, so idk if I‘ve ever seen a Grace Kelly movie. However, I still really enjoyed this book about Grace, Sophie and James.
