A sociopathic old relative uses his billions to keep his four bland, beige and yellow (seriously, what is the author's love for yellow and grey about?) wearing parasitic nieces around until he sees the vaguest chance of siring an heir to his fortune. Then the one dimensional beige monsters find they have to root around elsewhere for the money they so desperately love, only to find that, shock, horror, it's not so bad having to work for your millions. Hard to find a character to even remotely like in this story, they all worship the dollar so much (oh, and powerful men with money and/or titles and little else to offer by all accounts). Boring! Possibly the best Louise Bagshawe I've read. Much like her other books, it's independent women striving to make it in the business world, succeeding fairly effortlessly, whilst looking fabulous and pulling fit men in the process. I particularly liked the different types of women in this one. Although I wasn't too fond of a couple of the cousins, this just shows how their differing personalities were highlighted throughout the book, while each of them complimented the rest and there was something in there for everyone. Overall, a great read. One for chick-lit lovers.

I remember reading it, it was the first I read of hers, it prompted me to read others

Perfect reading to off-set overthinking on my thesis. A bit predictable.
