An enjoyable read. There was a nice touch of humour, a well worked romance and some intrigue. It highlighted how money buys you privilege yet how sometimes people who have money may look respectable but the origins of their wealth is mired in injustice and crime. I liked the characters, especially females, the sister of the male lead was bright, spoiled, caring and intuitive. This was well worth a read.

Chase comes from a wealthy prominent family but feels inferior.
While escorting his mother and sister, he meets Jo who is an artist with lots of baggage including a missing husband.
Some fun sexy scenes, plot twists, and family interference lead to juicy tale of love.
Enjoyable, liked the character development.

Excellent book and perfect for those who are following the HBO series The Gilded Age. Beautiful descriptions of the lake and the hotel and the period details - all those bustles and flounces. A real insight into just how difficult life could be for women who, through no fault of their own, end up on the margins of society. A true delight for any romance fans interested in this period. I really liked Jo as a character and I think everyone probably needs a Chase in their life.

Tracy Brogan delivers a heartful love and mystery that leaves me to appreciate a Gilded Age era. I would rather take scenic romance in England, but she delivers a story for the ages that bonds people together only to prompt them with differences and her books give many different perspectives. I appreciate her writing and it was an amazing overall story that I enjoy very much. This is my added book to my list of releases to a great ending 2023 year of wonderful books.
