review 1: The hardest part about this book is having it ending, and knowing there isn't another one coming.Rosie is now a star, she pays a high price for being one. We get a close up look at the film industry, just when talking pictures are coming. By the end of the book they are tying color. Rosie is now Roxy, and she is in a marriage of convenience, with Dashielle Parks. You will feel, it seems to be more to his advantage than hers. There is no love in this marriage, and they both agreed. How sad.There are some very sad happenings in this story, but what a kind heart Rosie has. Don't know if I could have opened my home and heart the way she did. Love how she followed the Lord.We travel with Rosie to Europe to make a movie produced by the man, her Mom Jinx wanted her to originally ... moremarry. The World is getting dark again, as Hitler is coming to power. Will the movie help serve a purpose, bring fame to Rosie, or could it play a larger roll in helping people, who through no fault of their own, are fearing for their lives.Don't miss this conclusion to the Daughter's of Fortune Series, and if you haven't read the first two, do yourself a favor, and devour them!I received this book through Litfuse Publicity Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.
review 2: Title: DUCHESSAuthor: Susan May WarrenPublisher: Summerside PressMay 2013ISBN: 978-1609367718Genre: Historical A glamorous Hollywood starlet must fight for her life, her love, and her country in this epic 1930s tale.The Golden Age of Hollywood is in the business of creating stars. Rosie Worth, now starlet Roxy Price, has found everything she wanted in the glamour of the silver screen. With adoring fans and a studio-mogul husband,, she’s finally silenced the heartache of the past. Her future shines bright—until the fated Black Friday when it all comes crashing down. When Roxy loses everything, she finds herself disgraced and penniless. Her only hope is to join forces with Belgian duke Rolfe Van Horne, a longtime film investor. But Rolfe is not who he seems, and he has other plans for Roxy and her movies—plans to support a growing unrest in Europe, plans that could break her heart and endanger her life. When her country needs her, will Roxy have the courage to surrender her glittering world and her one true love? DUCHESS is the third book in Ms. Warren’s Daughter’s of Fortune series. I would recommend reading the books in order, #1 Heiress, #2 Baroness, and #3 Duchess, otherwise you won’t get as much from the series. Not being a huge fan of TV or movies, Roxy isn’t a character I could identify with much. I don’t get that life. Even off the screen, it is a life of make-believe, with fake names, fake identities, and a lot of pain and back-stabbing. Roxy was living a lie. DUCHESS didn’t grab my interest early on, even though it is written in Ms. Warren’s impeccable style. I did hurt for Roxy. I wanted her to find happiness, to be reunited with her family, to find love. But I didn’t relate. All in all, this is a good book, a good series, but not my favorite Susan May Warren series. If you like historicals, movie stars, glittery fortune lives, then DUCHESS and the other books in this series are for you. 4 stars. $14.99. 352 pages. less
