BOARDWALK EMPIRE fans will love this epic novel of crime, passion and romance in a wide-open St. Louis during the Roaring Twenties. Trudy Groves is a typical "flapper" but when love strikes she falls for a serious, socially responsible young lawyer who has no patience for her frivolous ways. Together the two of them forge a white-hot romance while battling organized crime, corruption, and the hypocrisy of the older generation. Don't miss this amazing story -- it's BOARDWALK EMPIRE in St. Louis!
This is one of those books I literally found in a junk pile, but it was so much better than I expected. If you can find this book, buy it! Trudy Groves is a fun, vibrant heroine who grows to be courageous and caring too. The lawyer she falls for is not only firm and principled but genuinely concerned for society's victims. In short he's a real hero!
This is a surprisingly panoramic and thoughtful look at the Roaring Twenties and life among the newly rich families in a large midwestern city. It's not exactly a romance novel, but there's a wonderful love story and some amazing sub plots that don't end as happily. A real find!
