Pride and Prejuice By Katie Oliver



First I would Like to say a big thank you to Katie Oliver for going out of you way to send me a copy across the waters to me xxx
Omg if you love Bridget Jones and Becky Bloomwood, then you will love Natalie Dashwood!!!
From the first page this story has me hooked and was very addictive, you won’t want to put it down.
Natalie Dashwood is a shopaholic a woman after my own heart, but Natalie own a department stored grow up and into the family business. So her childhood was playing dress up with designer clothes..
We meet her when she is having a nightmare of the day or even week, she is helping out at the store for Christmas as its the busiest time of year for the store, But Natalie customer skills are a bit lacks. So when a young gentlemen comes to her counting wanting to buy a gift, she decides to take a call to your boyfriend while serving him, this puts the customer back up and becomes picky and into then puts up her back as she just wants to talk to her boyfriend. That was not the end of her nightmare day she was to attend an event while her so called boyfriend tells the all and the press that he is remarry his ex-wife, this presses her over the edge she can’t make a scene so she drinks, then decides that her ex needs a wash in her wine !!!  Then a hunk of a guy steps in the way and takes the full force of the wine, she is drunk and upset not a good combination for any man, but the stranger offer to take her home and sleep off the wine...But Natalie is not in the mood for sleeping and offers herself to the stranger, He was a gent and turned her down and makes sure she get home safely. So one bad day turns into a start of a bad week for Natalie walking into a board meeting with one thumping headache for the wine the night with minuets from being late, but her grandfather called the meeting and she adores him even thou she will be bored to death she there for her grandfather. With seconds of turning up she realizes that the man talking at the end of the table is the man she throws herself at last night!!!!
Rhys Gordon was brought into save the family business, and then a second wave hits her.... Rhys was her young picky customer that out her back up from then on she just wanted to hide, but it was time for Natalie to grow up and be an adult. Her grandfather tells her that she will have to get along with Rhys as he is here to try and save the company and that she will have to tighten her belt on spending!!!
They are thrown together to save the company, Rhys brought the best and the worst out in Natalie and before she had to start in her new job role she had spending day planned with her sister on the company money and when Rhys finds out he cuts credit to every card she owns and it was time for her to go cold turkey on the spending and live on a budget........
Natalie is in the zone her business head comes out to play and starts to warm to Rhys, she may have lost her way but is now trying to live on budget, so when her breaks down she borrows cash from the petty cash to pay the recovery man and is spotted taking the money by one of her late fathers good friends but hopes her secret is save and she will pay the money back as soon as possible. Ian who she thought was a good family friend uses this against her to meet him for drinks after work and then used it to blackmail her over her late father’s death and the mistakes that he made that lead him to take his own life...
Will Natalie go along with the situation or save  her new life and tell Rhys who she is falling in love with that she is being blackmailed and it could bring down all they hard work and destroy what they have built up in the business and in them.
I highly recommend that you get a copy and read this wonderful tale you won’t be disappointed.
I can now say that I am Katie Oliver fan and look forward to reading more...
