Synopsis: 

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…

Review: Jo

It had been way too long since I last read a Karina Halle novel, so I was very much looking forward to starting this one and I wasn’t disappointed. “Discretion” contained so many things that I enjoyed- Characters that I loved, a story that kept me turning the pages and a swoon worthy romance. There was also a beautiful epilogue that finished the book off perfectly.

"...my heart won't stop spinning for him. It's his now." 

I really loved Olivier and Sadie. They each came from very different worlds and had both led such different lives, yet the sweet pair made such a cute couple. Olivier's family were richer than rich, owning a huge designer fashion business in France. Sadie was just a normal American girl backpacking around Europe. Their romance was sort of an insta-love and I was sold on their relationship. I was invested in them every step of the way.

"I feel nothing but butterflies in my chest and love in my heart. 

I let myself be ravaged by my Frenchman-mind, body, and soul." 

This standalone love story was well worth the read. I’m definitely going to be picking up book two when it releases. I have a feeling I already know who’s book will be next up.

"Discretion" gets ❤️❤️❤️❤️ from me.
