At eighteen, Jillian Lauren was an NYU theater school dropout with a tip about an upcoming audition. The "casting director" told her that a rich businessman in Singapore would pay pretty American girls $20,000 if they stayed for two weeks to spice up his parties. Soon, Jillian was on a plane to Borneo, where she would spend the next eighteen months in the harem of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, youngest brother of the Sultan of Brunei, leaving behind her gritty East Village apartment for a palace with rugs laced with gold and trading her band of artist friends for a coterie of backstabbing beauties.
More than just a sexy read set in an exotic land, Some Girls is also the story of how a rebellious teen found herself-and the courage to meet her birth mother and eventually adopt a baby boy.

Donated to the little free library in Narrabundah, ACT. Thank you.

Jillian Lauren, aged 18 was a NYU threatre dropout and was to have an up coming audition, however after she heard that a rich business man in Singapore would pay pretty American girls $20,000 if they stayed for 2 weeks to spice up his parties. Jillian could not resist, and after telling her parents she had been offered a part in a movie in Borneo, boarded a plane and after arrival found herself in the Harem of Prince Jeffri Bolkiah , youngest brother of the Sultan of Brunei. She joined a group of young women already there. She was put into a lavish apartment with. Rugs laced with gold, all around she could see lavish interiors. It was some time before she met the young Prince but he became fond of her and kept asking her to spend the night in his apartment. He took her out in his expensive cars often. She had money given to her to spend which she did, but knew the clothes she brought back would not all be worn. After 18 months made the excuse that her father was ill and she should go home to see him. Promising to return later she went home, but quietly put the money in the Bank. After returning to Borneo some time later she found Prince JefrI had lost interest in her.

I read a few chapters, but found too much back story, rather than the story I was expecting. I was bored with it, so I gave up the book and moved onto another.

Released at an enjoyable BBQ with other Bookcrossers at RosieCanberra & oozy67's place. Enjoy.
