About this ebook

“A rapid-fire plot and a smoldering love story produce Gilded Age gold.”—Kirkus Reviews
 
The privileged members of the Knickerbocker Club can never climb too high up the social ladder. But for one charming New York bachelor, does the ascent take precedence over love? 
 
As owner of a well-respected national newspaper, Calvin Cabot has the means to indulge his capricious taste for excess—and the power to bring the upper crust of society to its knees. So when a desperate heiress from his past begs for help, Calvin agrees . . .as long as she promises to stay out of his way. But like the newsman, this willful beauty always gets what she wants . . .
 
Lillian Davies lives a life brimming with boundless parties, impressive yachts, and exotic getaways. But when her brother disappears, Lily knows that blood runs thicker than champagne and she’ll spare nothing to bring him back alive. Unfortunately, the only man who can help her is the one she never wanted to see again. Can Lily keep Calvin at arm’s length long enough to save her brother and protect her name . . .even when the tenacious powerbroker turns out to be absolutely irresistible?

    My absolute favorite of this series.

    My only question: why does the woman on the cover have dark brown (maybe black) hair when the main female character is blonde?

    5/5
    The last of the men currently members of the Knickerbocker Club finds his woman in a fast-paced, well written, second chance at love love story. I am not sure if others will be added to the club or if another series will begin using some of the support characters from this series. Either way, this was an ambitious and delightful book. Why ambitious? Well, it deals with Chinese tongs, the Chinese Exclusion Act, privilege, kidnapping, friendship, honor, honesty, trust, love, family, expectations, goals, culture and a whole lot more. Calvin Cabot and Lily Davies have history – history that not many know about in New York – history they have both tried without success to forget and put behind them. When Lily’s brother goes missing and finding him is essential she calls on Calvin to assist her. Their past issues, their volatile relationship, their intense attraction and their misconceptions make a partnership rather tempestuous and difficult but, as time passes and more is revealed and the plot thickens the air also clears making for a very interesting read. I liked Calvin and Lily together. I might have liked a bit more about their courtship but the glimpse into it was probably sufficient. I can see why things worked out as they did but really wish the two had not had to spend so many years apart. I wonder if Lily’s brother, Cora, Marcus and perhaps others will find themselves in a new series set in this era and if so, look forward to reading their stories. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC. This is my honest review.
