The Liberation of Alice Love

Alice Love keeps her life (and boss, and family) running in perfect order, so when her bank card is declined, she thinks it’s just a simple mistake. But shesoon discovers that someone has emptied every penny from her bank account, spending her hard-earned savings on glamorous holidays, sexy lingerie, and a to-die-for wardrobe, and leaving Alice with thousands of pounds worth of debt.

With her perfectly-organised world crumbling around her, Alice enlists the help of dashing fraud investigator Nathan and sets about clearing her name. But as she unravels the intriguing paper trail, she makes a shocking discovery: her thief is closer to home than she ever imagined.

Following the clues from London to Rome and LA, Alice edges deeper into a seductive new world, where honesty might not be the best policy, rules are made to be broken, and the power of a gorgeous cocktail dress shouldn’t be underestimated. Perhaps her alter-ego’s reckless, extravagant lifestyle is the one Alice should have been leading all along…

But as her little white lies begin to stack up, how far will Alice go to find the truth? And whose life, exactly, is she fighting for?

A fun, fast-paced, entertaining story about a women who finds herself  (and a little romance) after searching for a so-called friend that stole her identity.  I picked this book up while waiting to leave for an event and so wanted to take it along with me! As soon as I got home I stayed up to finish it!  A good vacation read.
