Publisher's Summary
An enthralling novel set in early 19th-century England, Paris, and New York, featuring an indomitable young heroine who rises from ruin to become the toast of Paris, by way of the chic bordello she establishes for the most powerful men in France.
Turned out of her ancestral home by her vicious half brother, the orphaned daughter of an English duke and a French noblewoman makes her way to Paris and takes in abused French streetwalkers, transforming them into sought-after courtesans in the city's most exclusive bordello, Le Boudoir. It is only the beginning of her return to the upper reaches of society and ultimate justice.

A unique story
it is a good and interesting book. However at times the story seems to take overly dramatic turns unnecessarily. the main character develops beautifully, however, her thoughts and emotions can be a bit artificial, specially as she was "falling in love".

Interesting plot but all tell, no show
Danielle Steel is such a big name in the historical romance genre, I thought this would be an easy one to enjoy. Not quite so. I found it difficult to continue with it because it was all tell, little description. I did not feel immersed at all. I felt like I was being told a story, rather than living it alongside the characters. The plot was clever and it was a great story in terms of that. The narrator, Gideon Emery, suited the story, his voice flowed, it was well read and characters were brought to life as best as the writing allowed.
