An Heiress to Remember

The Gilded Age Girls Club

by Maya Rodale

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

The final book in the Gilded Age Girls Club series, An Heiress to Remember ends the series with pizzazz! The glitz and glamour are at their true height as dulling department store owners, Beatrice Goodwin and Wes Dalton fight for top billing. Underlying the business competition is the fact that they have a history. Beatrice and Dalton were sweethearts when she was 18 and he worked as a clerk in her fathers’ department store. Beatrice leaves him to marry a Duke, the Knickerbocker dream. Divorced and 16 years later she returns to Manhattan to find the department store, her legacy in shambles and their biggest competitor across the street, her former flame! Thankfully the feminist activist group, The Ladies of Liberty Club has sought her out to offer their assistance as she brings down the patriarchy.

This second chance, lovers to enemies to lovers story is heavily focused on Beatrice and her work and feminist view, but I thought the romance still held true. This story could have gone off the rails, but the hero, Dalton was always supportive and fair- never did he lie or cheat to gain his goals, even though he and Beatrice were business rivals.

This was a solid end to an absolutely delightful series that focused on women coming into their own and still being able to enjoy love and companionship. True modern sentiment.

An Heiress to Remember by Maya Rodale is scheduled to release March 31st, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 #TheArtOfTaxidermy #sharonkern...

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
