Her Darling Mr. Day by Grace Hitchcock

What a pleasure to read Her Darling Mr. Day by Grace Hitchcock. The story is the second in the American Royalty series, and we were reconnected with Theodore Day and Flora Wingfield from the first novel. It was delightful to get to know them both better, and watch them figure out their story.

The wonderful setting of New Orleans made this an interesting Gilded age novel.  I  was fascinated with the world of steamboats on the Mississippi river, and wanted to jump aboard.   Enjoyable secondary characters, especially Auntie Violet had me laughing, wondering, and sighing towards the end.  Reading about the options women had in the 1800’s was a reminder of how many things I take for granted today.    

Her Darling Mr. Day includes mystery, intrigue, and a happily ever after.  The story’s humor made it fun to read and it was wonderful to get lost in the time period.  I highly recommend Her Darling Mr. Day.  

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
