The Finishing Touches

Every girl should know what the finishing touches are.

That dash of gloss on the cheekbones to lift your complexion.
High heels for poise, and a luscious lipstick for the perfect pout.
It’s the spritz of perfume on the pulse points….

And the ability to stand on your own two feet?


Browne has written another entertaining and highly enjoyable novel that will appeal to fans of Bridget Jones’s Diary and other British chick lit.

Synopsis

Twenty-seven years ago, an infant turned up on the doorstep of London’s esteemed Phillimore Academy for Young Ladies. Now, Betsy Phillimore returns to the place where she was lovingly raised by Lord and Lady Phillimore, only to find the Academy in disrepair and Lord P. desperate to save his legacy. Enter Betsy with a savvy business plan to replace dusty protocol with the essentials girls need today: cell phone etiquette, eating sushi properly, handling credit cards, choosing the perfect little black dress, negotiating a pre-nup, and other lessons in independent living. But returning to London also means crossing paths with her sexy girlhood crush . . . and stirring up the mystery of who her parents are and why they abandoned her. Will the puzzle pieces of her past fall into place while Betsy races to save the only home she’s ever known?

I’ve read all the “Honey” books and just completed The Finishing Touches. I loved it! I think I enjoyed it even more than the honey series! I loved how you included all those little points on how to be a better lady… I’ll definitely be taking that advice to splurge on the secret details that make you feel glamorous. My only wish was that we had more Jamie time! I enjoyed their relationship. Keep up the great writing!
