Architect Jess Milton is showing a Russian billionaire around his soon to become home when he makes one to many sexual remarks about her. Jess tells him in no uncertain terms what she thinks about him and that he can’t ‘buy’ her. The billionaire warns her she will be sorry, and sure enough, the company she works for is letting her go, stating restructuring.

Word of mouth travels fast and it isn’t long until an elderly ex-client gets in touch with Jess offering her an unconventional job. She is off on a cruise around the world that is going to be a few months long and she needs someone to look after her Labrador Brutus. Not only that, but she wants Jess to take Brutus to stay with her son in St. Tropez, France and stay with them to make sure that her son takes good care of her dog.

Jess negotiates that her best friend Hope, who has always wanted to visit the place, can join her too. Soon the two, and Brutus, are heading for a summer in the most gorgeous place filled with scrumptious food, divine wines and of course sexy men.

Dreaming of St-Tropez is another of T.A. Williams beautiful books set in an exotic location. I have visited St. Tropez, once a good few years ago and I can still remember the feel of the place. It is like no other I have ever been too. It is spellbinding and magical and makes you feel like a million dollar, whilst surrounded by those that are actually worth that amount, and more.

T.A. Williams manages to create a feeling of standing right in the heart of the town through his superb, visual writing. The setting was just perfect and had me right back there. The characters too were all pleasantly realistic, which is what makes the book so appealing – that and the eye-catching cover.

This is definitely a book to put on your summer reading list. It is a light-hearted read, but one that is addictive and had me wanting more. I just didn’t want to put it down, in fact I read it in one sitting.
