My Review: This is the third book in the Daughters of Fortune series. In this book we hear the story of Rosie now known as Roxie Price on the silver screen. Rosie had it all until Black Friday then she is penniless and turns to Rolfe for help, but he is not all that he seems to be. This is the first book I have read by Susan. I have the other two in this series but time ran out on me so I had to read the last one first. I really enjoyed Susan's writing style. She makes me feel as if I am right there and becoming friends with Rosie. Susan has a way of writing that makes the story flow. I am not usually a fan of this time period but the way this was written I found myself enjoying the book and wanting to hurry back and read the other two in this series. Rosie's character is written as if she is a real person which makes the book that much better. If you are looking for a nice read with some strong characters then I recommend this book to you. I would suggest you start with book one although you don't have to, I just personally like to read books in order. I also liked how everything had a nice ending and did not leave the story dangling. I received this book from Litfuse for a fair and honest review. I give it four stars.
