Can’t Wait Wednesday: Diamond in the Rough

cant wait wednesday

 

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you’re continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here.

 

Do you enjoy books that make you laugh? Jen Turano writes historical fiction set in the Gilded Age and puts her characters in some of the most hilarious situations. From dancing at balls to failed kidnappings to learning to use washing machines, these heroines manage to get themselves in memorable conundrums. And that is one of the reason’s I can’t wait for the second book in Turano’s American Heiresses series. Just a few more weeks until Diamond in the Rough will be here.

About the Book

 

To save her family from financial ruin, Miss Poppy Garrison accepts an unusual proposition to participate in the New York social season in exchange for her grandmother settling a family loan that has unexpectedly come due. Ill-equipped to handle the intricacies of mingling within the New York Four Hundred, Poppy becomes embroiled in one hilarious fiasco after another, doomed to suffer a grand societal failure instead of being deemed the diamond of the first water her grandmother longs for her to become.

Reginald Blackburn, second son of a duke, has been forced to travel to America to help his cousin, Charles Wynn, Earl of Lonsdale, find an American heiress to wed in order to shore up his family estate that is in desperate need of funds. Reginald himself has no interest in finding an heiress to marry, but when Poppy’s grandmother asks him to give etiquette lessons to Poppy, he swiftly discovers he may be in for much more than he bargained for.

      Jen’s Books are the best. A few years ago I sent one to my mom and she immediately went and bought all of the others available after finishing it.
