Kindle Paperback
Who’s who in the Arielle Lockley series:
The Arielle Lockley series is a four book coming
of age chick lit series that’s set mainly in London and New York City. Kept, Lost and Found are told
from Arielle’s perspective, whilst B-Side
is a grittier spin-off book that is told from the perspective of Etta. Here’s
who’s who in the series:
Arielle
Lockley
is the heroine of the series. Originally from the New Forest, Arielle is an
only child, though she was always close to Obélix Thomas, her next-door
neighbour when she was growing up. After studying at the University of Warwick,
Arielle moves to London. Here she meets Piers Bramley and sets aside her dream
of becoming the next Coco Chanel. Changes in her circumstances, however, see
Arielle revisit that dream. The series focuses on Arielle’s transition from
being a “kept” woman to a businesswoman, as well as her relationship with
boyfriend, Piers.
Managing millions of pounds every day means Piers Bramley has never had to worry
about money. So, if Arielle is happy spending her days shopping and going to
spas, Piers is happy... until he has a major health scare and finally starts to
question whether Arielle’s life should be about more than just spending his
money.
Felicity
Farrell
is the owner of Flick’s, a boutique in Bournemouth that’s struggling. With a
dramatic and colourful past – from fleeing war-torn London during the Second
World War, to becoming a hippie in San Francisco – Flick, as she’s
affectionately known, would do anything for her nearest and dearest. She’s also
keeping a secret that’s going to send her loved ones world’s crashing down, but
first she wants to do all she can to turn their lives around.
With a big passion and voice for jazz, Etta Millhouse hasn’t had the easiest
childhood. Now, as an adult, she’s got two big problems: the addiction she
won't admit to, and her godmother’s secret that is tearing her apart. Balancing
her musical ambitions with keeping this secret sees Etta dangerously reaching
for just one more pick-me-up… And then another. And then one more.
Growing up surrounded by roaming ponies in the
New Forest is what influenced the broad-shouldered, red-haired Obélix Thomas to want to become a vet.
Filthy-minded and funny, Ob is the best friend we’d all love to have, though
that position belongs firmly to Arielle. Now, if only Ob can find someone to
settle down with, like Arielle has settled down with Piers...
Owner of Tabi’s, the popular bar-cafe-club on
the King’s Road, Tabitha-Rose
Cuthbert-Nightingale is as posh as she sounds. A successful businesswoman
from a titled family, Tabitha is hounded by the press because of her family
connection and finds it hard to trust people not to sell her out... Arielle is
slowly earning her trust though.
