Lured by a Mango Daiquiri is a humorous account of a young woman who, whilst working in the London fashion industry, decides, after a late night out and sequence of events, to apply for a job in Sri Lanka.On securing the position, she changes continents and embarks on an adventure of a lifetime.This book is about adapting to change both inside and out – a quantum leap when one’s foot is in mid-air, propelled forward by courage and intuition.

Born in the UK and having studied at the London College of Fashion and Technology, Rachel moved to Australia where she worked as a fashion buyer.

After living globally for 40 years and pursuing her Jewish roots whilst in Hong Kong, she eventually made her home in Jerusalem.

Rachel currently works from home; writing, teaching Business English and practicing reflexology.

As exciting as this may be, her most rewarding role is that of a mother.

  • Jodi Samuels

    Fantastic read, fast paced and engaging.
    You get to the end of the book and want more!

  • Michal Kalish

    Just laughed my way through the book. When is the next instalment available either Australia, Hong Kong, USA or Israel? Written in a refreshingly funny style which captured my imagination, with each character and description that took me on a tour of my own imagination bringing forth a movie story that played for an all too short time. Need more with a dash of lime.

  • Eta Morris

    Fun and engaging read!! I was disappointed when it ended so quickly, I really wanted to get to know the main character and wanted to find out more about her life and what happened next, especially with Red!!! I found the writing very descriptive in a way that formed images and a picture story while reading. Waiting for the next chapter!

  • Rochel Rubin

    A fun, easy read with interesting characters and plenty of British wit! Recommended read.

  • Erica Froggatt

    A great read that keeps the reader enthralled... and also acutely aware of ones own choices. The choice to be bold and adventurous. The choice to jump into the void. The choice to grow with lifestyle experiences.

  • Roslyn Eldar

    Lured by a Mango Daiquiri is a delightful read - witty, clever and absorbing with a budding love story in the background. Although short, it is dense with humorous descriptions that bring to life the characters and their surrounds in London and Sri Lanka. The book ends leaving me longing for more, a page-turner. Rachel Montana’s first novel reveals her hidden writing talents. I look forward to reading more of her work.
