I feel head over heels for the Hollywood Governess and have been patiently waiting for Alexandra Weston to grace my bookshelves once again and the Lavender Bride was just as delightful.

I loved following along Audrey's journey from good English daughter to Hollywood glamour. She was the perfect female lead, brave and stood up for herself.

I loved the flashbacks to dreary, war filled England, and the snippets of the future in the interview transcripts, all tied in with the colourful Hollywood setting - filled with fashion, music, parties and money. I thought the other characters were well thought out and well developed - even those who only featured in small parts. We never read that much about Freddie but I feel as if I know him in great detail and it helped tell such a wonderful story.

I found it historically accurate, and informative without being heavy or boring. I absolutely adored this book, Alexandra Weston is a treat for those who love history, hollywood and a jolly good love story.

This book had a very glamorous setting, Hollywood in the 50's. With such a unique story, I read this in approximately three days. It was an easy read that was well-written and well-paced. I love it when a Fiction book is loosely based/inspired by a true story. The author does reveal this at the end. I loved the short snippets from Rex that are peppered throughout the book.

A great book for fans of Romance/ Historical Fiction/ Hollywood.

Loved reading the amazing and awesome story. When Audrey leaves home, her best friend, Freddie, turns his back on her, and she goes to Hollywood alone, gets a secretarial job, needs a green card, and ends up marrying a movie star, Rex, who has a big secret Audrey agrees to keep. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written with captivating characters, and a must read engaging story by the fabulous author, Alexandra Weston.

A good historical romance read is just what I needed. The Lavender Bride by Alexandra Weston was amazing.

A beautiful hollywoodesque story you will devour in a day. It’s full of surprises that will make you gasp and gives you a wonderfully established heroine you will want to advocate for.
