Glamorous Illusions by Lisa T. Bergren
3.0
I'll admit, sometimes I judge a book by its cover. In my defense, you can tell a lot about a book by its cover, such as who the author is.. which, for me at least, goes a long way in convincing me as to whether or not I'll read the book! But I really love the cover of this book, but that's about it when it came to Glamorous Illusions.
Its not that I didn't like the book, but I didn't realize when it said that this book was part of a series, that you would be left hanging. I don't mind series books, I like them, but I also like to have a complete story.
In a nut shell, the main character Cora Kensington finds out she's the child of a copper tycoon, and in order to save her mother and the man she's called father she must leave all she's ever known and go and live with her biological father and his two other children. I'm sure you can imagine everyone was thrilled at this prospect and lived happily ever after.
Nope.
Not was she to leave all she'd ever known, but she was to go "Grand Tour" of Europe with people she'd never met before. People who really could have cared less if they'd never seen them at all.
Ms. Bergren sweeps you along in a whirlwind of emotions as Cora's father (wrongly in my opinion) thrusts her into these very awkward situations and then backs out to let her handle the backlash. Honestly, he acts like he's doing the best thing for her, but it was his lack of control that got everyone too this point, the least you'd think he'd do is at least take some of the heat himself!?
Anyway, despite having to wait until, God knows when, for the next book, I enjoyed getting to know Cora and Company and will more than likely be reading the next book in this series.
