Pandora’s Price (Hart and Cole #3) by Sacha T.Y. Fortune – Review by Sarah Oakes

Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about marriage. After the events of the last book, Darren and Luisa try to salvage what is left of their marriage. But with a sea of lies and secrets and her lover Gianni still hanging around, perhaps nothing can go back to the way things were. With all this troubled past comes a wedge that drives between Luisa and Darren. Can they put it behind them or is all too late?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Luisa trying to do what makes her happy despite everything or Darren struggling with his feelings. Great cast of supporting characters like the fun loving and supportive Vicki or the kind sweet Kris.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the scenes in the gala later on full of life and people with vibrant coloured dresses against the walls. Or the colourful décor of Valentines day with reds and pinks against Luisa’s mood contrasting beautifully. I also loved the sense of the everyday with the coffee shop and the kitchen counters with the everyday feel of the dialogue between characters making the sory feel more realistic.
The switch of perspectives worked well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names in chapter titles. I also liked the use of the swimming pool facts which help both Darren and the reader try to keep calm against the events of the narrative. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.
