*************************************************************
As a librarian, Imogen read a lot of books, but none of them covered what she was to experience on the Riviera.

Her holiday with tennis ace, Nicky, and the whole glamorous coterie surrounding Nicky, was a revelation - and so, ultimately, was she. A wild Yorkshire rose among the thorny model girls, Cable and Yvonne, with a rare asset that they'd mislaid years ago...

But the path of a jet-set virgin in that lovely, wicked world was a hard one.

Imogen began to wonder if virtue really was its own reward...

Customer Reviews

GREAT BOOK

I read this book many years ago, and fell in love with Jilly Cooper. Her "little" books are all jewels, and so different in that her characters are all flawed, but funny and adorable.

Another Winner!!!

Jilly Cooper's books are fastly becoming my favorite past-time. I keep one in my desk drawer on a daily basis. I find myself sneaking quick peaks in between meetings. These wonderful short stories are just what you need for a mid-day pick me up of romance. Imogen and Prudence is another winner in my book. Her charcaters are so funny, warm and full or mischief. I just love them... I think that the British charm that I have come to love and adore in fiction, hits the mark with these wonderful little gems. This one if full of all the wonderful things that a Jilly Cooper book promises. Pick them all up.. QUICK!

Comedies of Eros

Its so lovely to see these books re-released! Cooper is such a hilarious author that I could only wish she had written more than 6 of these short novels.Prudence, written in the first person, is the story of a girl who is singularly misnamed. She falls for the wrong man but refuses to admit it. He takes her home for a long weekend with his family in the Lake district and here we meet a gorgeous ensemble cast of irresponsible mother, brooding older brother, precocious children, annoying vegetarians and a host of others. In Imogen a shy, plump librarian is whisked away by international tennis star, Nicky, whose sole purpose is to seduce her. Her disastorous trip is peppered with the requisite numbers of haughty models, arrogant athletes and one sleepy eyed Irish Journalist. Cooper writes with such enjoyment it is hard not to enjoy her books too.
