"I have to say that as the conclusion for this series, it was definitely a roller coaster ride I was shocked, I was surprised, and I was ultimately floored with the turn of events It was that interesting and unexpected I absolutely LOVED this book and devoured every minute." --Kawehi Book Reviews "My emotions were all over the place. Arianne had me laughing, cursing and sobbing my eyes out at the end...I'm talking gasping ugly cry but my heart was overflowing. I will miss Alexandre and Pearl, their story is so beautiful and I am so lucky to have experienced their journey I highly recommend this series." --Two Crazy Girls and a Passion For Books Pearl and Belle Pearl follow Arianne Richmonde's bestselling books in The Pearl Trilogy: Shades of Pearl, Shadows of Pearl and Shimmers of Pearl; the tumultuous and heart-rending love story between forty-year-old documentary producer, Pearl Robinson, and French Internet billionaire, Alexandre Chevalier, fifteen years her junior. Pearl and Belle Pearl are written from Alexandre's point of view, from the moment he and Pearl first meet on a rainy summer's day in a coffee shop in New York City, and the story continues beyond Shimmers of Pearl, with a completely different ending than the trilogy. At only twenty-five, Alexandre Chevalier is a billionaire. His social media site, HookedUp, is more popular than Twitter, more global than Facebook. With his devastating looks, alluring charm, and his immense wealth, he has women falling at his feet, and ex girlfriends and an ex-fiancee who simply cannot let him go. Alexandre's dark and dysfunctional past makes him crave a normal relationship with Pearl but she tests him to his limits and proves that she is even more damaged than he first believed. His loyalties are split, his patience torn. After many trials, misunderstandings, and revelations of dark secrets, finally their wedding ensues and it looks as if their happily ever after is sealed. Until something unforeseen rips their world apart."
