n all of my reviews, I say something about building characters and setting being the reason I love books. That's exactly what this book is. Honestly, the actual storyline of this book is awful. There is little plot development, which could make the book feel slow and tedious. You're not really attempting to find action throughout the book, you're focusing on the relationships between the five main characters. Oh what characters!
Tilly Bagshawe has fully gone into the lives of each one of these characters. They are full and real and complicated. This is playtime for me. I'm just enveloped in character development and loving every minutes of it. Anyways, here they are: Scarlett Drummon Murray, Jake Meyer, Danny Meyer, Brogan, and Diana. Scarlett is out main protagonist. She is just starting out as a jewelry designer. She is attempting to find out who she is without the influence of her family. Jake and Danny are dealing with fake diamonds, but Danny falls in love with the wife of one of the biggest diamond mine owners in the world. Finally, Brogan and Diana are a wealthy couple that own most of the diamond mines in Africa and Russia (see the connection?). The lives of all of the characters are all mixed together and you learn about each one through introspection and the words and actions of others. It is just so much fun to learn about each one of them.
We also travel through a few wonderful country's and some naughty bedrooms, which make the story fun to read and day dream about. Who needs a thick and interesting plot when you can picture the characters so fully that their day to day lives are easily exposed to your own imagination?
