Series: American Heiresses BK 1
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.

My Thoughts:
Ms. Turano has written quite the start to her new series American Heiresses. Within the pages of this novel is laugh out loud antics, animals galore, and imagery that makes you feel apart of the story.
Besides the fun that Ms. Turano is known for in her stories she out does herself in her latest novel adding not only fun animals like a cow that roams the house, and a chicken named Elmer, but she adds the most adorable children to the mix that will just melt your heart.
The romance isn't without incident both Isadora and Ian learn that honesty is truly the best policy. There is swoon worthy romance that will enchant romantics everywhere. As with all Jen Turano's novels the historical element is well researched.
I had the best time reading this novel and found myself laughing out loud a LOT as well as shaking my head with the antics of every character, mainly Isadora.
Here's just one of my favorite quotes . . .
"And you thought it wise to provide a woman who'd gotten herself stuck in the wringer of a washing machine with a rifle and bullets?"
I highly recommend this book!
