Review by Booklist Review

Popular Manhattan interior designer Olivia Ritchie and her professor husband, Nick Seymour, are heading to Charleston just as Olivia's business takes a downturn. Fortunately, she has one loyal client left: Maritza Vasile, fifth, or possibly sixth wife of the insanely wealthy businessman Bob Vasile, who relies on Olivia's decorating expertise and empathic friendship to shore up her confidence in the face of Bob's suspected infidelities. When the purchase of the Vasiles' $26 million Nantucket getaway falls through, however, Olivia is really on the ropes. A birthday excursion to Richard Branson's private island aboard the Vasiles' luxury yacht and, later, the shipboard wedding of Bob's son give Olivia opportunities to troll for new business, but not before witnessing the near-destruction of the Vasiles' marriage. Frank's (The Hurricane Sisters, 2014) beloved shrimp-and-grits Carolina Lowcountry takes a back seat to the lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-famous world of caviar and champagne in this glitzy exploration of the bonds of love, marriage, friendship, and loyalty. Frank will please fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Nancy Thayer.--Haggas, Carol Copyright 2016 Booklist
