BLURB: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…

Sadie is a 23yr old American student backpacking across Europe. On her way to catch a train she finds herself in a scary situation and is rescued by Olivier Dumant, who, as one of the heirs to a fashion empire and a billionaire hotelier is practically French Royalty. But Sadie doesn't know any of this and Olivier finds that he likes that. But what should have been a light holiday romance turns into something deeper and secrets that had been buried for ten years are about to be exposed. This was an enjoyable read I liked Olivier and Sadie. Despite the short time frame their romance was believable. This book is definitely a good start to the series and it has me very curious to what will happen next. It does not have a cliff hanger ending, but there are plenty of questions that I need answers to. This did not leave me frustrated rather, it left me excited to see what happens next. I want to know more about Olivier's siblings and I hope his sister Seraphine gets a book too. It will be great to see how certain people get their comeuppenace, though I am intrigued over one that maybe redeemed? I think? I hope?! @karinhalle has written an engaging romance full of intrigue, greed and possible foulplay with wonderful characters. The author has done an amazing job with the start of this series I can't wait to see where she takes us from here!
