Reviews:
Marianne (Australia) (2011/06/18): Hidden Mistress Public Wife is Emma Darcy’s 2011 romance novel. Ivy Thornton, daughter of flamboyant Sydney artist Sacha Thornton, is happy on her rose farm, in her overalls, tending her roses and sending out orders. Many of those orders are sent out to billionaire playboy Jordan Powell’s current mistress, a position held by an ever-changing array of society beauties. When Jordan spots Ivy at one of her mother’s gallery shows, he becomes intrigued and, as he has just farewelled his latest mistress, decides to pursue Ivy for the position. But while she’s attracted to Jordan, Ivy resists: she’s not interest in becoming one of his gallery of mistresses. And after a close call with a gold-digger, Jordan’s not interested in anything more. His method of chasing her is ironic, and what happens when he woos her surprises both Jordan and Ivy and their families. With dramatic revelations in the final scene, this is another excellent Emma Darcy romance
