Glamorous Illusions | Lisa Tawn Bergren

 

About the book:

The first book in the Grand Tour series, Glamorous Illusions will take readers on a pilgrimage through Europe–and straight into the soul.

It was the summer of 1913, and Cora Kensington’s life on the family farm has taken a dark turn. Not only are the crops failing, so is her father’s health. Cora is carrying on, helping her mother run their Montana farm until a stranger comes to call, and everything changes. Cora then learns a secret that will radically change her future: she is the illegitimate daughter of a copper king who has come to claim her.

Cora is invited to take the “Grand Tour” of Europe, a journey intended to finish a person’s education, to solidify an understanding of ancient culture and contemporary refinement. As she travels from England to France with half-siblings she’s never known, Cora encounters the blessings of the Kensington family name, as well as the curses. But when an unbidden love begins to form, she realizes the journey is only beginning.

Faced with the challenge of accepting her father, new family, and the identity that comes with it, Cora also struggles to accept that she is also the daughter of the one true King-a Father who is the only One who can truly heal.

Ronie’s Fast-Rope Review!

Lisa Bergren is one of my favorite authors–and with good reason. All exemplified in GLAMOROUS ILLUSIONS! An adventurous time plays out as her heroine, Cora Kensington, discovers a formidable life–replete with drama, chaos, siblings, foreign travel and dashing men who will stop at nothing to sweep Cora–and me!–off her feet. I’ll admit, I am not a fan of stories that continue without a firm commitment of romance between main characters, but Lisa has never let me down yet, so I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting the next installment in The Grand Tour!
