Wildest Dreams

By Jennifer Blake

Book Overview

"Blake's a master at romantic fiction." THE CHATTANOOGA TIMES Joletta Caresse's beloved grandmother dies, taking with her the secret to the formula of a legendary perfume that is now the most sought-after perfume on the market. Joletta tries to track down the formula through journals written by her ancestress, Violet Fossier, who in 1854 made a grand tour of Europe. As Joletta follows Violet's itinerary across the continent, the story goes back in time, to nineteenth- century Europe and a scandalous love affair that is intimately bound up in the mystery of the perfume. In the present Joletta finds herself attracted to--and suspicious of--Rone Adamson, a Southern playboy whose astounding knowledge of perfume makes Joletta wary. Yet his chivalrous charms prove too much for her scruples, and Jolettta succumbs to her dubious white knight, even as danger swirls around them.... A Main Selection of the Doubelday Book Club

Customer Reviews

A great read!

I truly enjoyed this book. It was fun following Joletta to the different places she went and people she met; tracking possible clues from old family journals in search of a formula that may or may not exist. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a book that combines a little mystery and intrigue with a hint of romance and history.

A constant favorite.....

I picked this book up on a lark. I have never regretted it. This is one of my truly favorite books. Jennifer Blake carefully interweaves the old story of Violet with the modern one of her great grandaughter Joletta. The mystery grabs you and holds you till the end. Having been to New Orleans once, this book always makes me want to return if only to walk into a small perfume shop and find a hidden garden....Enjoy!

A ROMANCE OF PAST & PRESENT - VERY HEARTWARMING

THIS NOVEL WAS ABOUT A PRESENT DAY WOMAN WHO READS A JOURNAL OF AN ANCESTOR OF HERS. THERE IS NOT ONLY A ROMANCE GOING ON IN HER LIFE NOW, BUT SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST. THIS BOOK WAS VERY WELL WRITTEN, VERY INTERESTING.
