A Lesson In Propriety by Jen Turano

 A Lesson in Propriety by Jen Turano is a delightful romantic comedy that is the first book in the Merriweather Academy for Young Ladies series.  Miss Drusilla Merriweather’s life has changed drastically after her family lost their fortune.  She moves to a supposedly haunted castle to start a finishing school.  The first day Druisilla meets Mr. Rhenick Wittenbecker ,an architect, trouble, misunderstanding, and sparks start  to fly.

This was a great beginning to a new series.  Drusilla was a fun character with lots of spunk who made me laugh out loud.  Rhenick was a great hero, gentleman, and all-around great guy who I enjoyed rooting for.  I loved the banter, humor, and sweet romance.  Meeting the other characters, the mystery of the castle, and the setting of the Gilded Age made for a great story!

There is nothing quite like a Jen Turano book to make you laugh, reflect, and to take you on a great journey.  I enjoyed A Lesson in Propriety and look forward to the other books in the series.  I highly recommend. 

I was given a complimentary copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
