Series: Roaring Twenties #2
Synopsis:
Sharon Page sparkles in this poignant and irresistibly entertaining follow-up to her breakout novel, An American Duchess Lady Julia Hazelton is the most dazzling among 1920s England’s bright young things. But rather than choosing the thrill of wanton adventure like so many of her contemporaries, Julia shocks society with her bold business aspirations. Determined to usher the cursed Worthington estate into a prosperous, modern new era, and thus preserve her beloved late fiancé’s legacy, the willful Julia tackles her wildest, most unexpected adventure in Cal Carstairs, the reluctant new Earl of Worthington.
The unconventional American artist threatens everything Julia seeks to protect while stirring desires she thought had died in the war. For reasons of his own, Cal has designed the ultimate revenge. Rather than see the estate prosper, he intends to destroy it. But their impulsive marriage—one that secures Julia’s plans as well as Cal’s secrets—proves that passion is ambition’s greatest rival. Unless Cal ends his quest to satisfy his darkest vendetta, he stands to ruin his Worthington wife and all her glittering dreams.

My thoughts:
I enjoyed reading this book. The author did a good job of getting the details right for the time period so I could really get a sense of the time and place. I also thought the characters were well developed. They were very likable. For me the the romance really added to the story. A side note - I do not usually read books from this time period but there is something about a book set in England that just gets me. The author did a good job of transporting you right into the story.
