Selling Dreams / Susanne O'Leary Reviewed by: BigAl

Genre: Women’s Fiction

Approximate word count: 65-70,000 words


Swedish born, Susanne O’Leary is the author of at least fifteen novels in a variety of genres. After living around the world as the wife of an Irish diplomat, she now writes full time from their home in Ireland.

For more, visit O’Leary’s website.


The main character, Flora McKenna, flees her native Ireland after a break up and finds herself unemployed. As a long time Francophile, what better place to start a new life than the French Riviera, right? What Flora experiences is a rollercoaster ride of ups (she aces the final interview of the job she was aiming for) and downs (her new position may require ethical compromises she’s loathe to make). On the romantic front, Flora has multiple potential beaus, but the front runner who at first blush seems ideal, has baggage that may be more than she can handle. An entertaining read set against an exotic backdrop.


A small amount of adult language.


A small number of typos and copyediting misses. Labels: 4 Star, fiction, Women's Fiction
