Two months have passed since Elizabeth Holland returned home and the horror still hasn't left her. People are curious about why she left town, why she came back, and what really happened at Grand Central Station. Much to their disappointment, she refuses to go out in society. If she must venture out, with instructions from her mother, she makes certain her sister accompanies her.
Diana is also nursing a broken heart - her one true love is now married. She finds herself avoiding his company, yet craving it at the same time. Penelope enjoys the hold she has over Diana at catching the husband she always wanted, but her marriage isn’t happy. In fact, it’s falling apart. Henry hates the fact that he’s married to someone other than Diana. He can’t look at his wife, is barely civil to her, and watches Diana. Diana understands the situation – or at least what Henry tells her. But is he telling the truth?
Mrs. Holland is pushing both girls back into society to make eligible matches in marriage. Can they achieve the social status their mother demands while nursing their broken hearts or will old rivalries, jealousy, and backstabbing friends keep the sisters from making their social comeback?
Another great read in the series. This book had me hooked, waiting to read about the next scandal. It's a very addicting novel.
Rumors: The next book in the series: Splendor will be out in October and will be the last book in the series.
I'm really sad about that, but I'm also anxious to see what Anna Godbersen will create next.
