Fun new series starter!
A Lesson in Propriety is the first book in Jen Turano’s Merriweather Academy for Young Ladies Series. It was a delightful historical romance with a touch of mystery and suspense, a lot of humorous moments, and a very lovely romance. I adored the MCs, Drusilla and Rhenick, and I loved that the story featured strong and intelligent women. There were some unexpected twists that I enjoyed, and the historical aspects of the Gilded Age were very interesting. With its charming characters, witty dialogue, and intriguing plot, this book is a great read for fans of historical romance and cozy mysteries.

An entertaining tale!
A Lesson in Propriety by Jen Turano is the first entertaining tale in the Merriweather Academy for Young Ladies series. I always look forward to reading Jen Turano’s stories because I know there will be great characters and plenty of humor. I like that Drusilla Merriweather is resilient and independent. Drusilla is certainly extremely knowledgeable about the rules of social propriety (she knows the correct etiquette for every social occasion-what to say, do, and how to act—she is walking etiquette book). Rhenick Wittenbecker is a good match for Drusilla. Of course, the road to happily ever after is a bumpy one, especially with the unusual and hilarious happening at the estate. I enjoyed the banter between Rhenick and Drusilla (I chuckled frequently). The message of being loved for who you are (the unique individual that you are) is very prevalent. I sat down one evening and read A Lesson in Propriety from beginning to end. I closed the book with a happy heart and a smile on my face.

Lots of Action
As we open this read, our girl is with her fiance, and at one of the 400's get together, and as we end this book we are with Drusilla and her fiance in Chicago, Il. The journey between the two is a page turner, filled with chuckles, and a lot of action. Yes, there are some guns and knives, but also ghosts, and other nefarious happenings. Loved the ferrets, and how they acted! The bad part of this read, was that I have to wait a year for the next book! If you enjoy a good read with lots of humor, and at times a lot of serious action, this one meets all that and more! Will this wealthy family get their money back, and in the end I am still waiting for them to find their missing aunt! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
