Frankie Carter reports for duty at the Canary Wharf offices of Cloud Ten Construction. They both reckon he could pull it off – and he won’t be lying about anything on the application if he ticks the “prefer not to say” box on the gender question, will he? Frankie isn’t too sure at first – but with his siblings and friends all telling him he should go for it… he applies.Īnd a few weeks later exec PA Ms. Frankie’s brother Tristan quietly suggests that maybe Frankie should pretend to be a woman he’s a knockout in drag and even slobs around the house wearing their sister Maddie’s stuff occasionally. The idea of whipping a brand new exec into shape while focusing on developing and promoting the company’s new environmental plan is hugely appealing – but a brief glance at Cloud Ten’s website reveals that, yeah, all the executive PAs are women. When Frankie sees the ad for an experienced PA at Cloud Ten Construction, a well-established, family-owned business with a strong commitment to sustainability, diversity and equal opportunities, it sounds like his dream job. But it’s proving more difficult than he’d anticipated to land himself the kind of job consummate with his impressive qualifications and extremely strong skill-set. PA extraordinarire Frankie Carter is Good. Her latest novel, Cloud Ten – book one in her new Nailed It! series – Is funny, clever and sharply observed, and, despite a couple of niggles, also sits firmly on the positive side of the equation. Fearne Hill and I got off to a bit of a rocky start – the first book of hers I read didn’t work well for me – but her most recent output has proved that that one was the anomaly in the pack, because I’ve enjoyed everything of hers I’ve read since.
