My Thoughts:
Book two in the Daughters of Fortune not only continues in the lives of sisters Esme and Jinx but of their children. Esme's daughter Lilly and Jinx's daughter Rosie have become each others shadow. Rosie is trying to convert Lilly into a flapper which is a big problem for the pig-tailed cowgirl. For some reason their mother's thought Lilly could be Rosie's chaperon in an attempt to keep the flapper, wild side of Rosie in check and out of trouble. They each rebel against each other and their families wishes for their future. Rosie goes on to be a flapper and Lilly goes for adventure. Even though they went their separate ways they both managed to put themselves in harms way. In many instances they are making similar mistakes that their own mother's had made.
I enjoyed book one and was anxious to read book two. The Heiress held my attention where the Baroness about half way into the book lost my attention. I don't think it had anything to do with the author's writing I can't fault her there. The story line and the timeline was just not my cup of tea. But it was still a very good read and I am looking forward to reading book three the Duchess.
I gladly recommend this book.
I rated this book a four out of five.
Disclosure:
I received a free copy of this book by Summerside Press for the Litfuse Tour. In no way was I compensated for this review it is my own opinion.
Enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading this book. It was enjoyable and I found myself coming back to it frequently to find out what was going to happen next. I always enjoy time travel, and especially the faux pas that people commit while in the experience.
