From the outside Genevieve McCarthy lives a charmed life but not everything is as it seems. Few see the extra makeup on her face and the dimming of the light in her eyes as cause for concern, including her fiancé Anthony Ricci. Thankfully, her best friend Nessa has returned from Creede, Co. to help her get back on her feet. Getting closer to Oscar is an added benefit that has Gen smiling again, but he’s the most eligible bachelor in New York. What would he want with Gen? Oscar Straus is smooth and calculated. He’s an incredible businessman and a toxic bachelor. He loves all women, the more the merrier. Until a chance meeting in Central Park turns his world upside down. Oscar finds himself way out of his comfort zone, making snap decisions that could lead him to love but also peril. Will Genevieve be able to find the confidence to trust again? Or will she lose the ability to smile forever?

This was an excellently storyline and great characters. I loved seeing the story of Gen and Oscar completed after being introduced in Nessa. I also like the inclusion of Nessa and Henry in this sequel. I couldn't give it the highest rating though because of the storyline inconsistencies. Examples: The Nessa story introduced Oscar's living mother and a possible family issue. In this story, I was confused when Oscar mentioned his deceased mother and thought maybe the first woman was a step mom. But seems to be a complete history rewrite. Also Gen meets Oscar's dad at dinner in book 1, and then again for the "first" time in Gen.

Good book, poor editing!
Very good story, but too many continuity errors between the two books to get all the stars. I enjoyed both novels in the series. The characters were interesting and mostly well developed. I do understand that sometimes it is difficult to keep track of storylines when you are writing more than one book at a time. I'm glad I read this book (and Nessa). They give me a base for The Daring Debutant. If you like strong, intelligent women and the men who love them, you will most likely enjoy the two Derelicts and Debutantes books.

Wonderful
Story was magnificent, just the right amount of intrigue and romance. Beautiful characters, even with a twist with Pearl. Hopefully another story is in the works and very soon. This one left me hanging.

Couldn't put it down!
Great book. It was fun to see the continuation of the story of Gen and Oscar. There are quite a few plot twists in this book so I struggled to put it down until I was finished. I look forward to book 3!

Just not the thing for me.
The writing did not engage me and there was too much fight among families .
It looked like a gilded age magia romance and I was put off.
Not my cup of tea but I reckon it could be someonelse’s.

Oscar and Gen -
I enjoyed reading this action packed story that is well written with charismatic characters. Their story has a satisfactory HEA.

Oscar and Genevieve
From the same world but very different or so they think. Gen and Oscar are attracted to each other but both think the other plays around. - Babs

I enjoyed Gen and Oscar's story. It took a little while and a lot of strife for these two to figure things out.
