Brilliant

De: Marne Davis Kellogg

Narrado por: Kate Reading

Meet Kick Keswick, an elegant and self-possessed American who has been at London's venerable Ballantine & Company Auctioneer, Ltd., for over thirty years. She is an expert on paintings, furniture, and objets d'art, and so far has lived a perfectly happy life with things on her mind other than love. In fact, Kick rarely lets anyone into her private world. She prefers it that way. She adores her elegant London flat, her books, her music, her delicious meals, and, most of all, her jewels. Kick doesn't need a man in her life messing things up. But when American industrialist, scoundrel, and womanizer Owen Brace grabs the faltering Ballantine & Company in a corporate takeover, he turns Kick's world upside down, opening her eyes to large-scale love, romance and sensuous pleasure.

Something tells Kick that Brace's motives are anything but sincere, however. And when he gets near enough to threaten Kick's closely guarded life, Brace learns the dangers of underestimating this woman. From sophicticated London to Kick's secluded farm in Provence, France, BRILLIANT is a playfully delicious novel of suspense, masterful revenge, and secrets of the multi-faceted kind.©2003 Marne Davis Kellogg; (P)2003 Books on Tape, Inc.

pretty good!

Kate Reading makes every book a little better--even when she loses her American accent a quarter way through the book!
It's a light, enjoyable listen--interesting plot and solid characters.

LOVE! Please record the other books with same read

This is truly one of the best authors that you have on this site. And the reader of this book is spot on. Kick has become my friend in the listening of this book. I only wish, PRAY that the other Kick Keswisk novels finally make their way to this site with the same reader. I have read and re-read this book. I don't always have time to pick up the written books which I have read in book form. I am often in my car driiving in crazy LA traffic and taking Kick with me would make it so much more enjoyable. Why oh why have the subsequent Kick Keswisk novels not been recorded? If I could afford it I would pay to produce them. I want to contact the current publisher to see what can be done to make the recordings happen with the same reader. Please see what can be done.

Great mature heroine

More romance than suspense, featuring a complex heroine of a certain age with interesting secrets and a lot of nerve. Very enjoyable, and reader Kate Reading is always great.

Cute story with a twist

Loved the story with the surprise ending. As Kick would say, “revenge is sweet!” Can’t wait to read other books by this author.

Cotton Candy Listening

I loved listening to this book. It is light and witty and delicious. My dog got a lot of extra walks so that I could keep listening. The reader is wonderful. Don't expect great literature, but for pure fun, you can't go wrong.
