I'm also letting you in on Tamera's Kindle Fire Giveaway....and, my own giveaway for my extra copy of A Lasting Impression!
YAY for you!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
A fake. A forger. More than anything, Claire Laurent longs for the chance to live an authentic life, to become the woman she wants to be. And she'll be given that choice. But will it come at too costly a price?You can read even more about A Lasting Impression HERE.
MY THOUGHTS:
I truly empathized with Claire. She was put in a very difficult situation by her parents - forging paintings. I know we must take responsibility for our choices, but when Claire was first told to do this, she was young and how do you defy your parents, even though it IS wrong?! Just that dilemma alone (and the thought of her past ever being revealed) held me captive throughout the book.
I loved the time period and the rich setting of Belmont. What a beautiful sounding place! I wasn't sure if I liked Adelicia or not, but apparently, that's how she was in real life (one moment a bit hard; the next, as sweet as cream). I really liked how Tamera wove a real historical character into her fictionalized story. I must say that I didn't approve of the drinking mentioned at the parties. I understood the time period and social set; I just don't think it ever needs to be mentioned.
Overall, I enjoyed Claire's story!
