Blurb
Allegra Jackson is living high. She’s a successful head hunter for a London modelling agency and at the top of her game in all respects. Now, with the help of her sidekick Oliver, she’s joined the Los Angeles branch of Valentina Blackheart Models to show them how it’s done. Allegra has a queen-sized appetite for sex, champagne and more sex, and she has no trouble getting what she wants, even though her desires can land her in hot water. LA itself is a bit of a cultural shock, but Allegra enters new foreign territory when she falls hard for all-American bachelor and real estate mogul Christian Beaumont. Life becomes even more confusing when her friend and employer Valentina Blackheart—Allegra’s fifty-something, supremely well preserved double—makes a startling proposition. Will Allegra accept Valentina’s offer for the sake of financial security, even if it means abandoning her wild lifestyle?
My Review
Allegra is settled in her life. She has all she wants. As a head hunter for a modelling agency in London she is great at her job. So good that she gets sent to LA to help part of the company that isn't doing to well. There she works hard but she plays hard as well. She loves sex, drinking and doing them together. Just when she is getting things in hand her boss offers her the chance at big money. She will just have to change her lifestyle and make some big adjustments.
For me Allegra is like a giant train wreck you want to look away from but can't. or one of those reality shows you know you shouldn't enjoy but do. She is very open with her life style and really enjoys sex. She isn't ashamed of it and has no problem with it. She is great at her job and while some may not like her attitude she gets things done. I enjoyed this book and even when I could see some things coming Allegra didn't it still was a good read. Sex, Booze and Designer Shoes is a good title for this as the book is full of it. If these things upset you don't bother picking this up as you will not enjoy the book. I liked reading to see what would happen to Allegra next and I do enjoy as even though she is an adult at the end she seem to be getting her life into a more grown up place. I also got several laughs reading this as she finds her self in some unusual place with some unusual places.
