BLOG TOUR, REVIEW and GIVEAWAY: PEARL by ARIANNE RICHMONDE

The book that Pearl Series fans have been asking for: the flip side of the tale. The story according to Alexandre Chevalier.

At only twenty-five, Alexandre Chevalier is a billionaire. His social media site, HookedUp, is more popular than Twitter, more global than Facebook. With his drop-dead gorgeous looks, alluring charm and wealth, he has women falling at his feet, desperate for his attention.
But his heart is set on only one woman: Pearl Robinson.
Alexandre’s dark and dysfunctional past makes him crave stability and a normal relationship, but he soon finds out that Pearl is a bird with a broken wing. Why, he isn’t sure.

Pearl, follows Arianne Richmonde’s bestselling books in The Pearl Trilogy: Shades of Pearl, Shadows of Pearl and Shimmers of Pearl; the tumultuous and heart-rending love story between forty-year-old documentary producer, Pearl Robinson, and French Internet billionaire, Alexandre Chevalier, fifteen years her junior.

Pearl is written from Alexandre’s point of view from the moment they first meet on a rainy summer’s day in a coffee shop in New York City.

In any relationship details are hidden; things are left unsaid.
Not all conversations are remembered in the same way.
And not all actions are disclosed—especially to the one you love most.

This book (Part 1 of 2) is approximately 53,000 words long, just over 200 printed pages. Part 2 is scheduled for release in October.

Because of Alexandre Chevalier’s prowess in the bedroom, this novel contains erotic content and strong language.
Intended for readers aged 18 and over.

MY REVIEW:

4.5 Stars!!

I love books told by a different character’s POV so I immediately loved the story as told by Alexandre. Even if you’ve read The Pearl Trilogy, PEARL is still full of surprises. And if you loved Alexandre before, you will absolutely fall in love with him a little more after reading his story!

There is no glossing over the age difference between Pearl and Alexandre. I LOVED reading how Alexandre was insanely attracted to Pearl and how he actively pursued her. This is a very different twist on the usual contemporary romance story. I also loved reading Alexandre’s perspective on the real reason Pearl was in the coffee shop on the day they met.

Although you don’t have to read The Pearl Trilogy first, you will have a clearer picture of the characters and where they fit in the series. Plus they are great books!

There’s lots of smoking hot sex in Pearl plus an ending that will leave you anxiously awaiting the next installment of this story. I can’t wait to read Part Two of Alexandre’s story!
