James Darnborough is the best realtor - incredible and unstoppable. The listed home was not in Montecito, but he treated it as though it was a luxury home. A true gentleman with integrity throughout the entire process of selling our home. A cash offer above asking price was received within four days of listing and the sale was closed 20 days after acceptance of the offer. In this market, this was an incredible outcome. James is a GIFT to this community.

"James took on our very challenging property in Carpinteria with tenacity and patience. Because of the location and nature of the property we had potential buyers from a diverse spectrum of the market community including growers, developers, business speculators, and homeowners looking to upgrade. James managed to be up to speed and on top of the essential zoning info that each potential buyer required as well as helping to overcome issues with the address, easements, and local regulations. I was pleased to find James truly looking after our best interest in negotiations with potential buyers and with his advice as our agent. I will surely request James's help in future real estate dealings. Leo Blickley"

"Bill Darnborough, (James’ grandfather in real life), is a baseball star in the late 19th century with amazing physical attributes, who is soon to discover that he also has a mathematical aptitude that few possess.
We follow Bill, who grows up in the old untamed West, through his young peripatetic baseball career to a period where he transitions to using his wits and brains. He excels in the burgeoning gambling business in saloons and gambling halls throughout the country.
James clearly did his research as he colors this journey with amazing facts, people and history of the period. A pleasure to read."

"This fast-paced novel, based on the true story of the American who broke the bank at Monte Carlo, is a beautifully written story with fascinating historical details, suburb character development, and a wonderfully satisfying ending. In fact, it was so well written with such vivid settings that it was like watching a beloved Hollywood movie. I do hope to see it on the screen one day!”

"Really enjoyed this book. I found myself learning something new on practically every page. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautifully descriptive journey through Gilded Age America and the French Riviera. The author paints a layered protagonist with depth and heart perfectly. I highly recommend this fast paced, romantic and epic read. Such an adventure!"

"I’m slightly biased because my husband wrote the book. And at first I thought 'oh goodness' like you do when hearing of anyone embarking on their debut novel. However, I am super critical and I think this book is very very well written and very interesting. Full of anecdotes and stories you never knew about the time and place. And the author has given the protagonist such heart and determination, that you can’t help but see bits of yourself in his journey. It’s a classic historical fiction read with beauty and humanity."
