Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1997 | Series: Harlequin Love and Laugher

From Bad…

On her thirty-second birthday wealthy socialite Sandra Duval discovered she no longer lived a charmed life. First, another guest at a charity fund-raiser wore a more spectacular, more outrageous hat. The mayor snubbed Sandra. And then she was kidnapped!

To worse…

Except her kidnapper, Jean-Luc, a hunk of a man with the physique of a Greek god, was also her rescuer. He explained how her weasel of a lawyer had embezzled her millions. Moreover, Jean-Luc had a plan….

To…?

A plan that included marriage. Falling head over heels in love with the irresistibly sexy Jean-Luc and his two adorable children was most definitely not part of the plan.

But the best-laid plans…

More About the Author

Writing has always been my passion, and fortunately, I never run short of ideas. As a result, my ninety novels cover a wide array of genres, including Regency romance, fantasy, romance and mystery.

My latest project has been reediting, updating and in some cases rewriting my earlier books. It's a thrill to bring books back into "print," so to speak. These include a dozen traditional Regency romances. A Lady's Point of View is priced at 99 cents for Kindle, with the others at $2.99. My contemporary romantic comedies include Old Dreams, New Dreams; Capers and Rainbows, and Unlikely Partners (also 99 cents).

I've reissued my hardcover mysteries Danger Music and The Eyes of a Stranger for Kindle. Also available are my fantasy novel Shadowlight, my supernatural thriller Echoes and my paranormal romantic thriller Touch Me in the Dark, each only $2.99.

Currently I write for Harlequin American Romance. My miniseries, Safe Harbor Medical, is set in a fertility medical center in Southern California. Although each book stands alone, there are continuing characters. The first book in the series is The Would-Be Mommy and I hope you'll share the fun. I'm a fan of Grey's Anatomy, as you'll quickly see!

You can read about all my books at www.jacquelinediamond.com, where you'll also find free writing tips. In addition, after teaching more than a hundred writing students, I've put together a book called How to Write a Novel in One (Not-so-Easy) Lesson, available only in digital format.

I hope you'll come meet me on Twitter @jacquediamond. Happy reading!

This review is from: Sandra And The Scoundrel (Harlequin Love and Laugher) (Paperback)

This was not the book I expected it to be, but it worked anyway.

A carefree wealthy L.A. socialite widow ends up living in a run-down apartment near Orange County and Palm Springs. She ends up "married" to her rich dead husband's estranged son and spends her days babysitting his two adorable kids. The goal: to reclaim her stolen fortune from a swindling lawyer with a penchant for gangster movies.

Such a story is too bizarre! But it still works in an engaging way.

A charming tale, as Harlequin romances go. As a native of the area, I enjoyed the book's descriptions of Southern California.
