Book 2 in the Larkford sisters series. The books are inspired by Jane Austen's novels and book 1, The Darcy dilemma definitely has a contemporary Pride and Prejudice feel.
This one follows Jasmine, the second oldest sister. She has always been interested in fighting for what is right and equality. She believes that you should be judged by your actions rather than who you know or how beautiful you may be.
Roll on 5 years and Jasmine's career is taking off but circumstances change and someone from her past reappears. What will Jasmine do?
I devoured this book. On the face of it, a romance but the characters are well drawn and it was really interesting to learn about grass roots politics. The story was woven together in a way that made me want to care about Jasmine and her friends.
Looking forward to book 3.

Hazel Hatman does it again in her 2nd book about another Larkford sister, Jazmin. She is independent and is attracted to Petey but realizes her career is much more important so stops seeing him. She then goes to college and there meets Ben Kahn whom she falls madly in love with and he with her. Then her past life intrudes on her love affair and she must give up Ben in order to be with Petey. Not until 5 years later does she meet Ben again when she runs his political campaign; for political reasons she cannot go back to him. A sensible, wonderful book, very well written. I plan to read this book again. Recommend!

I had been looking forward to the next book in the Sisters of Larkford Hall series and this did not disappoint. Jasmine is a more complex character than Eleanor and she has a tough job balancing her fledgling career in politics, love and the demands of true friendship. From bleak to happy the book takes its reader on a rollercoaster of a story.
