Murder at Chateau sur Mer (A Gilded Newport Mystery) by Alyssa Maxwell


    I've enjoyed reading this series of books and taking a glimpse into the gilded age. It really gives a taste of how they live on both sides of the wealth.  Emma gets to be a part of both worlds as a reporter and a distant relation to the Vanderbilts. Emma seems to have a knack to be in the "right" place at the "right" time and has to unravel more than one mystery.  A great read and it really makes you feel like you are a part of the story.

Love's Fortune by Laura Frantz

I like how the main character Wren is not afraid to be herself and make the best of her new situation.  She has been raised  by her father in a manner that does not show the money that her family  actually  has, but soon finds herself in a new situation that is not what she is accustomed to. Wren finds herself leaving her country home in Kentucky and having to learn how to fit into her grandparent's home.  She does the best to learn how to act and dress, but deep down she is still who she is beneath all the finery.  She does what she has to for her family, but still remains loyal to her roots.  Wren is a fascinating character an made the book worth reading.  I received this book free from the publisher to review.

Saved by a matchmaker by Jody Hedlund

 I really enjoyed reading this book.  Enya's father wants her married to a suitable person and decides a matchmaker is just the person to make it happen.  Sullivan needs to marry to meet his father's demands and decides that Enya will make a suitable match.  The book progresses as they come to know each other and really have to learn to lean on each other even in the had times.  A really good historical read and romance.  Look forward to more.
