The romance of the book wasn't in the love stories so much as it was in the time period. There is such extravagant beauty in 1899 New York City society. From the costumes to the home decor to the language, this book is steeped in glamor and scandal.
New York high society in 1899 is more concerned with saving face, than facing their issues head on. Because of this they end up in over their heads in a web of drama. The lies and scandal they sew are enough to kill.
An excellent story with twists and turns in every chapter. This is a true page turner that will be hard to put down. Once the last page has been turned it will be an all out race to get hands on the next book in the series. An absolute must read.

This is one I keep playing with in my mind, do I read or is it just the lovely cover that gets me every time.
Great review, I completely agree with you! This series couldn't possibly be any better (inside & out) and I love all the scandals and revenge and all the shocking moments - every book has at least one of the epic sort! I'm just reading Envy actually and I'm kind of sad that after that I only have one book left - I want this series to go on forever, lol. I'll be looking forward to your reviews of other books too! :)
Congrates for the record bella!!!!

I'm glad you liked this book! I'm on the last book and have enjoyed every second. Happy reading! :)
I haven't read these books yet, but I've wanted to. Great review. I'm heading over to add it to my wishlist. Thanks!
I just started reading this one and since I have a very boring job where all do is read all day I can get bored of reading but this book actually has me excited to go back to work and see what happens next.
