Flights of Fancy by Jen Turano – Review

This right here is the reason I anticipate every new Jen Turano book. There is a lot of laughing on my part when I’m reading them, but these stories also have depth to them. And Flights of Fancy adds even more elements to that winning combination.

About the Book

Miss Isadora Delafield may be an heiress, but her life is far from carefree. When her mother begins pressuring her to marry an elderly and uncouth duke, she escapes from the high society world she’s always known and finds herself to be an unlikely candidate for a housekeeper position in rural Pennsylvania.

Mr. Ian MacKenzie is known for his savvy business sense and has built his reputation and fortune completely on his own merits. But when his adopted parents are in need of a new housekeeper and Isadora is thrown into his path, he’s unexpectedly charmed by her unconventional manner.

Neither Isadora nor Ian expected to find the other so intriguing, but when mysterious incidents on the farm and the truth of Isadora’s secret threaten those they love, they’ll have to set aside everything they thought they wanted for a chance at happy-ever-after.

In My Opinion

When Isadora Delafield goes into hiding, posing as a housekeeper seeking a position, she lands at Glory Manor. And hijinks ensue. Isadora, now known as Izzie, hasn’t the first clue how to keep house. Her endeavors with a washing machine, cooking, and boiling water make for some hilarious scenes.

Add to this, the fact that Glory Manor is, in fact, a farm—one with a hen named Elmer who likes to be held and a cow who prefers to be in the house—there are just more layers to create a most delightful read. If that’s not enough for you, there are four children residing at the farm that are just a perfect fit for this book and they captured me from the start.

But most of all, it’s the journey that Izzie and Ian take to discover who they are meant to be and the lesson that wealth is so much more than money that shoots Flights of Fancy to the top of my favorite reads list.
