From the author of My Sister and I and The Old Man and The Princess (recently optioned to be a motion picture) - comes a new, suspenseful romantic tale that will knock you off your feet. A story that has a reminiscence of '500 days of Summer' and 'Midnight in Paris' with a fair dollop of 'The Graduate' thrown in. And of course Audrey, a delightful, older female protagonist who takes the young and wayward ex-con Joe under her wing.
Just out of prison Joe, a young builder from Edinburgh who writes movie scripts in his spare time, randomly meets Audrey, a washed-up, hard-drinking, chain-smoking, middle-aged French film actress at his local film festival. After hitting it off and spending one crazy, magical night together, Audrey sees some potential in Joe and his writing and tries to help him win back his estranged daughter by getting his first screenplay made into a movie in Paris. And so, the adventure of a lifetime begins... What readers are saying - 'This story was such a pleasure to read. Elegantly written "Audrey" pulled me in from the get-go and kept me captivated until the very last word' 'Angsty, heartwarming story and I just loved the ending.
'Audrey is full of unexpected delights and a riot in many ways. We have an introvert meeting an extrovert in a crazy relationship that can never last. Along the way we travel the streets of Paris visiting multiple establishments, we drink a lot, smoke a lot, swear a lot and yes lots of hanky-panky.
'What a journey "Audrey" gives and the best fiction I've read from this author so far, hopefully, there will be more to come'
'Audrey was a riot. She was a free spirit who challenged Joe in ways he had never been pushed before. As an introvert, she pulled him out of his shell, put him in crazy situations, and made him happy. So happy that he was able to love again. I enjoyed the way the author characterized their relationship. It definitely kept my attention as much as it kept Joe on his toes'
'The author's writing made this story a winner'
'Sometimes this kind of novel just hits the spot. A wild-ass ride, of cutting loose, rubbing shoulders with people who ought to be way out of your league, while pining about those you've left behind, and seeing an opportunity to realize all your wildest dreams, be it sexual, professional, or just getting that forgiveness that has driven you crazy for years'
'I would recommend this book to all lovers of romance, suspense, and dark drama.'
'The novel "Audrey" by Sean-Paul Thomas is another great book written by a writer who always surprises me with his creativity and imagination. The writer draws us into the story with elegant writing and it was simply a pleasure to read. The characters, the setting in which this romantic story is set are beautifully described and elaborated so that you can imagine every detail'
'Audrey is a lovely tale of redemption, with a cast of characters that make this book one you just cannot put down'
'Audrey by Sean-Paul Thomas does something I love to see in fiction. It flips a story on its head. The whirlwind of a romance with a woman in the entertainment industry twenty years Joe's age is fun to read and Sean-Paul does dialogue well. The book draws you in and gives you a journey that is fun and worthwhile.'
'Desperation or gamble? I had a great time trying to figure out where it would fall. It didn't hurt that it was so glamorous at every level.'
'Audrey is a fascinating woman, confident and charismatic, it is absolutely normal that when she appears to monopolize everyone's attention'
