Description In Favor Of Books After a Fashion (A Class of Their Own #1)

Miss Harriet Peabody dreams of the day she can open up a shop selling refashioned gowns to independent working women like herself. Unfortunately, when an errand for her millinery shop job goes sadly awry due to a difficult customer, she finds herself without an income. Mr. Oliver Addleshaw is on the verge of his biggest business deal yet when he learns his potential partner prefers to deal with men who are settled down and wed. When Oliver witnesses his ex not-quite-fiancée causing the hapless Harriet to lose her job, he tries to make it up to her by enlisting her help in making a good impression on his business partner. Harriet quickly finds her love of fashion can't make her fashionable. She'll never truly fit into Oliver's world, with its fancy dinners and elegant balls, but just as she's ready to call off the fake relationship a threat from her past forces both Oliver and Harriet to discover that love can come in the most surprising packages.

Assessment Regarding Books After a Fashion (A Class of Their Own #1)

I will preface this review with stating I only got half way through the book before I stopped. If you are a true historical fiction fan and not reading this book because it is a "Christian" historical fiction, stay away. You will find yourself asking, "Did the author bother doing any research about the time period, or does she just not care about historical accuracy?". There were definitely parts of the book that observed common ignorant assumptions of the time and the people. I don't' know much

After a Fashion by Jen Turano is the first in the series A Class of Their Owm. Get ready for a laugh a minute with the antics of the ladies in After a Fashion. Harriet Peabody, Lucetta Plum and Millie Longfellow are friends that are rooming in a rather downtrodden boardinghouse in New York City. Harriet is employed by a milliner. She is tasked to deliver hats to Mr. Oliver Adleshaws supposed fiancé, Miss Birmingham. Hilarity ensues as Buford, a huge dog, disrupts the delivery by attacking Miss

What a fun romantic comedy! I always enjoy a paid to pretend romance. There are so many dynamics that make it enjoyable. I got a little annoyed with Harriet sometimes. She is a strong, confident woman, but definitely has her insecurities. Sometimes those insecurities made her do some really stupid things. I thought Oliver showed a lot of patience. Harriet has such a big heart, and it was wonderful to see her bring out the compassion in Oliver as she helped him recognize the needs of others. The

Chortle. Snort. Guffaw. I've been reading the A Class of Their Own series backwards and I've finally made it to book one which is just as crazy and hilarious as books 2 and 3! Jen Turano writes with such comedic flair that my cheeks hurt from grinning so much by the time I reach the last page! She excels at throwing -- no -- hurling -- her characters headlong into the most absurd chaos. I can almost hear her maniacal laughter as she plots her riotous mayhem...or maybe that's the echo of my own

Humor is a funny thing. Some people lack the ability to see the comical situations in life, while others easily laugh at all the trials and unfortunate situations they experience. Jen Turano understands humor. This book made me laugh throughout the entire story. It may not be adored or cherished by all readers, but I highly recommend it to all of you who enjoy romantic comedy & those who have a need to simply lighten up a little. It should come with reading instructions, "To chuckle, snort

I read this book because I wanted to become familiar with the author because I'm reviewing her latest book later this month. Sadly I wasn't impressed. I guess this style is just one that didn't jive with me. It's a totally over-the-top story that made me want to roll my eyes 97 percent of the time. Not only did I want to roll my eyes, but I wanted to groan and hide my face and assure people that most females aren't so bossy, ungrateful, and wishy-washy. Really though, I'm pretty sure this is the

Another terrific book from Jen Turano!! I can't wait to read the rest of this series! :)
