My Dear Miss Dupre by Grace Hitchcock

 

My Dear Miss Dupre  by Grace Hitchcock is similar to the TV show the Bachelorette, but set in the American Gilded Age. Not so willing participant, Willow Dupre, the heir of the Dupre sugar fortune can not believe what her family had gotten her into. She has 6 months to choose a husband and get married or lose her family business. No pressure! 


I enjoyed meeting Willow’s family, her friends, and the bachelors. My Dear Miss Dupre had good chemistry, well crafted scenes, and the elegance reminiscent of the time period. I found the story original, romantic, funny, and I was wondering how it would all come together up until the end. It was truly a pleasure to read.

Dear Miss Dupre releases on March 2, 2021


I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Songwriter Night: A Musical Romance by D. G. Driver


It was such a pleasure to read Songwriter Night: A Musical Romance by DG Driver.   The story centers around a group of artists who meet monthly to share their musical and  creative works.  Anyone who has ever attended a small group will identify with the characters and try to cast their friends into the roles.  The  story is delightful, touching,  romantic and very funny.  A sweet original love story which I highly recommend.  

Songwriter Night is also available as an audio book with the works performed in the audio. 

I was given this book by the author and not required to write a positive review.
