Handbags and Gladrags

I have recently read a book called Handbags and Gladrags. The book was written by Maggie Alderton. This was a romance book that had and adventure side to it. This story was set in many parts of the world, following around models and writing story after story for a fashion magazine.

The story was all about a young fashion stylist called Emily Pointer. Emily travels all around the world for her line of work , meaning she has to spend a lot of time away from home and her husband Ollie. While Emily was away working one summer she made a terrible mistake and a had a night of passionate sex with a hunky Australian photographer after an after show party. Emily felt terribly guilty about what she had allowed to happen that night. Emily managed for a short time to keep what had happened that night from her husband, at least in the beginning anyway. As the story goes on you are enthralled by the love triangle. When you think that it wont get any better, it does. I am not going to sat anymore as i do not want to spoil the story for anyone who may wish to read it.

This was a fantastic story and i feel that anyone that enjoys a good old romance novel would love thius story. I would give this story a star rating of four out of five as the ending was just a little to predictable, apart from this it was a real great story.
