My Dear Miss Dupre (#01 in American Royalty Series)

I really struggled to stay engaged with this novel, but I think the problem was more my personal taste rather than the quality of the book. I just found it all a bit too silly and far-fetched, but I recognised that, as a comedy, it's supposed to be that way! And perhaps it would have helped if I actually enjoyed watching The Bachelorette. . . :) I think you would enjoy this novel if you like authors such as Regina Jennings and Jen Turano.

I really enjoyed this book. It was almost a """"Bachelor""""-style story but set in the late 1800s. I really enjoyed the uniqueness of the storyline. It isn't often you see the """"Bachelor"""" trope in a historical context. This book was written from three different perspectives; Willow Dupre, Cullen Dempsey (one of the bachelor's vying for Willow's hand) and Theodore Day (another bachelor competing for Willow's hand in marriage and a childhood friend of Willow. ) This was interesting because, although you assumed Cullen would be the leading man due to his name being in the blurb, it wasn't clear whether Cullen or Teddy would win overall. I even enjoyed the twists at the end of this story. \\n\\nI look forward to more writing from Grace Hitchock. I hope that Willow's friend Flora get's her story soon. I will also have to go back and read the other books Grace Hitchcock has already written.
