Tiffany Blues + Giveaway

New York, 1924. Twenty four year old Jenny Bell is one of a dozen burgeoning artists invited to Louis Comfort Tiffany’s prestigious artists’ colony. Gifted and determined, Jenny vows to avoid distractions and romantic entanglements and take full advantage of the many wonders to be found at Laurelton Hall.
But Jenny’s past has followed her to Long Island. Images of her beloved mother, her hard-hearted stepfather, waterfalls, and murder, and the dank hallways of Canada’s notorious Andrew Mercer Reformatory for Women overwhelm Jenny’s thoughts, even as she is inextricably drawn to Oliver, Tiffany’s charismatic grandson.
As the summer shimmers on, and the competition between the artists grows fierce as they vie for a spot at Tiffany’s New York gallery, a series of suspicious and disturbing occurrences suggest someone knows enough about Jenny’s childhood trauma to expose her.
Supported by her closest friend Minx Deering, a seemingly carefree socialite yet dedicated sculptor, and Oliver, Jenny pushes her demons aside. Between stolen kisses and stolen jewels, the champagne flows and the jazz plays on until one moonless night when Jenny’s past and present are thrown together in a desperate moment, that will threaten her promising future, her love, her friendships, and her very life.


My Review


I am a fan of this author's. Ms. Rose is a great storyteller. She can spin a good story with rich characters. Thus I was really looking forward to reading this newest offering from Ms. Rose. The time period is lovely. It did transport me into the story. Although, that was sadly the only thing that I truly liked about this book.

The characters did not do as well as job of drawing my into the story and staying with them mentally through out the whole journey. In fact, I can't quite remember a lot of what happened. It does not matter how good a story is if the characters fail to intrigue me; than, it is kind of a lost cause. Here is hoping that the next book finds it magic with me again.
