Charlie lives on the Usherwood estate, heir to the late Richmond Lomax. His brother Cato, the Hollywood A-Lister, decides to come back and take what is 'rightfully' his. Only a distant relative gets in touch, needing to get something off his chest before his final days. What will it be?


TWO BROTHERS
TWO RIVALS
One devastating family secret


I don't really read that much 'chick-lit' these days, but this book was given to me by a friend. I've got to say I found the story quite absorbing and very easy to read.

I like Olivia, and I think she is good for Charlie. He doesn't see it at first, and thinks her a bit of a nuisance, but she refuses to back down.

The plot twist was a bit obvious. I kind of knew what it was going to be as soon as it was introduced, but it was still interesting to read and see if I was right or not!

Cato is despicable. A thoroughly hated character, he only cares about himself and it doesn't matter who he hurts along the way, even his family and those who care deeply for him. His partner Susanna starts off with her head up her bum, but she gets better. She begins to realise that there's more to life than status and material possessions. 


I would say this would make a good summer holiday read.
