The way I loved this newest historical fiction from fav author Chanel Cleeton is indescribable!! Full of romance, mystery, revenge and based on real events. Fans of Titanic esque stories with strong female characters and con artist stories DO NOT want to miss this one.
It was also great on audio narrated by Frankie Corzo and Rachel L. Jacobs. Many thanks to NetGalley and @prhaudio for early complimentary copies in exchange for my honest review! Chanel Cleeton has knocked it out of the park with this one!

Chanel Cheeton sure knows how to write a book, but only when it is about the lives of the Perez sisters. Her books that central around other historical events are just sub par. Only gave this book 3 stars because I like the author. But holy predictability…

Packed with suspense, romance, and historical flair, this page-turner is a testament to Cleeton's exceptional storytelling prowess.

The historical setting is meticulously researched, lending authenticity and depth to the narrative. The author's attention to detail shines through, capturing the glamour and allure of the era while highlighting the social and political undercurrents that permeate the story.

Their stories are intertwined seamlessly, creating a riveting tapestry of resilience and empowerment. Prepare to be transported and enthralled from beginning to end.
This was my first Chanel Cleeton read and it definitely won't be my last. A great read for the summer!
