Palmers, a beautiful old jewel of a building nestled on the coast of the Hamptons, used to be the most glamorous destination in the world. Now Honor wants to restore its reputation, its glitz and its guestlist. But there's a new boy in town with a different plan. Lucas Ruiz is no stranger to struggle. He's worked his way up from the grimy hotel laundries of Ibiza, via Sweden and London, and now as manager of the new hotel on the block, he wants to bring modern boutique-chic to the States. He's got no time for the faded traditions of Palmers - or the ball-breaking girl who's trying to save it. As Honor and Lucas prepare to go head to head to get the rich and famous checking in, the locals are busy checking out the backstairs gossip. Blackmail, adultery and the dirtiest of dirty tricks are all in a day's work behind the scenes of the five-star facades.Whisking you through the doors of the world's most exclusive hotels, Do Not Disturb is a blockbusting romp that's smart, sexy and more than a little scandalous.

There are many books in the chick lit genre now that seem to have taken the glamour route as apposed to the normal girl trying to win the heart of normal guy. This return to the Jilly Cooper style of romantic fiction is actually something I quite enjoy, some escapism glamour and fashion usually set in a world that is unknown to me, with gorgeous sexy and beautiful characters who are ruthless determined and successful. The most impressive of these books come from the two Bagshawe sisters; Louise Bagshawe, who really specialises in the beautiful girls and the gorgeous fashion, and Tilly Bagshawe, who has a mix of both, but whose stories tend to be quite engrossing in ...

Being a fan of Louise Bagshawe's books, I was hoping I would also like the novels of her sister Tilly Bagshawe, who began publishing books in 2005.
