4.0 out of 5 stars
4 stars,
This review is from: Duchess of Fifth Avenue (Berkley Sensation) (Paperback)
Hmm. Just setting up the premise takes an awful lot of time. Suffice it to say that the heroine decides to pose as English nobility in order to secure guardianship of the child of a friend who's died, and to accomplish that, she gives her savings to a man she met first playing poker in a cheap tavern and later in the house of her wealthy employers being introduced as an English duke.
There's a bit of a My Fair Lady flavor, though she's the one who instigates the transformation, and a nice twist that I initially suspected, then decided I was wrong. Entertaining, and different enough to make it worth the read.

Enchanting!,

This review is from: Duchess of Fifth Avenue (Berkley Sensation) (Paperback)
I could not put this book down. The fact that it doesn't focus solely on the romance aspect, but different relationships of love is great. You will fall in love with Lana and little Colin's storyline as well as Jesse and Lana's storyline. First book in a while that I read in a day, because I didn't want to stop reading.

MONOTONOUS AT TIMES---,

This review is from: Duchess of Fifth Avenue (Berkley Sensation) (Paperback)
Typical historical romance with a predictable outcome and a My Fair Lady twist. Too much repetition made it a bit monotonous at times.
