A Change of Fortune (Ladies of Distinction #1)
Mr. Hamilton Beckett, much to his chagrin, is the catch of the season, and all the eyes of New York society—all the female ones, at least—are on him. He has no plans to marry again, especially since his hands are full keeping his business afloat while raising his two children alone.
Eliza's hapless attempts to regain her fortune unexpectedly put her right in Hamilton's path. The discovery of a common nemesis causes them to join forces and, before she knows it, Eliza has a whole retinue of people helping her. Eliza's determination not to trust anyone weakens when everyone's antics and bumbling efforts to assist her make her wonder if there might be more important things than her fortune and independence.
When all of Hamilton's and Eliza's best-laid plans fall by the wayside, it will take a riot of complications for them to realize that God just might have had a better plan in mind all along.
Reading a Jen Turano is like eating a bowl of my favorite ice-cream. Unnecessary calories, yet I cant live without it. Her lighthearted humor is captivating and a pure delight to read. I am excited to be starting this series. I really enjoyed Lady Elizas story with Hamilton Beckett. The story held a nice pace, the mayhem was fun, and the two children, Ben and Piper, were penned well.

So it's not all bad... just mostly.The story premise was good. The writing was not. Everything felt choppy and confusing, and there were several times when I had to take a break or reread something just to understand what was going on. I
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. How could I enjoy a book like this any more than I already do? The answer to that is simple. I can't. I laughed and giggled and smiled like crazy. I also sighed, bit my nails, and covered my eyes in embarrassment for the characters. I don't normally enjoy books where one of the main characters already has children, but Ben and Piper were delightful. I could not keep myself from laughing at their antics. Zayne had to be one of my favorite characters. While he was
I really wanted to like this book. The cover is great and my sister read it and told me it about the funniest book she had ever read. But I couldn't get into it.The people were unrealistic, with all of high society actually speaking to and fine with a governess attending one of their parties. I could understand some of them not being snobs about it, but not all.Also, the dialogue.... What can I say about it but that everyone talks way to much. Maybe they should stop to take a breath.

This books seemed a little to contrived to me. The characters were quite modern in mannerism for an 1880 setting and the the way events unfolded was awkwardly put together. There were some parts that made me laugh so it wasn't all bad, but as a whole not a book I would go back to or readily recommend to others.
