After a Fashion

4.5
If you're in the mood for a good romantic comedy, this will be sure to fit the ticket. It's hilarious and witty and a good romp of a tale. Not the most believable story, but the colorful characters pull it off with a flair all their own. I did pretty much guess the ending, but I enjoyed it plenty all the same.

If you read my post about reasons to read an e-novella then you know how I first discovered Jen Turano was through a freebie that I stumbled upon and I knew immediately that I had found a new favorite author. Since then I have been delighted with all the stories in the Ladies of Distinction series and now I'm finding myself to have the same opinion of the A Class of Their Own series. Through a fluke I actually was able to read In Good Company (my review), the second in the Class of Their Own series before I finished After a Fashion and while they can easily stand on their own as independent reads, they do build the story with friend (and friendly!) characters. In November 2012, I was given the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance Best Tour Review for the first Ladies of Distinction novel and prequel from Jen Turano in A Change of Fortune and Gentlemen of Her Dreams. You might want to see that review, back here.

Every page turned entertained me with witty humor and amusing characters as well as a bit of mystery. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more of Turano's books title unseen and recommend them to friends. Hopefully I can express my opinions without giving too much away of the plot; however, I would love for you to know how this story is an excellent storytelling of an orphan romance. Every girl imagines if she was without parents to be a princess. Whether one falls into a pretend life of a princess, or perhaps becomes one, or perhaps discovers she is in fact a missing one... It's a magical tale of romance, mystery, and intrigue in a fun and attractive package.

If you enjoy the time frame of novels such as this, you might find another recommendation of note in my list of early 20th century romance titles in the picture lists.

Endorsements

I love Jen Turano's books. She has a way of keeping me turning the pages and wishing there were more when the book is done. She's a fantastic storyteller and I look forward to her next book!
