Jen Turano absolutely never fails to deliver stories with strong and independent heroines with all the sass that will have me laughing out loud every time... and this one was absolutely no exception. Right away, Druscilla's character drew me in... using her broken engagement to her advantage to start a new adventure with her family... opening a new finishing school! There are definitely some strange happenings going on at the castle she's inherited from her aunt... which only leads to more of the author's signature humorous moments. Rhenick was such a perfect match to Druscilla, despite her initial protests and I couldn't help but enjoy the banter between them. This was such a fun start to the series and I am excited to see what kind of mischief the ladies at the Merriweather Academy for Young Ladies are going to get up to next in the series! I cannot wait. If you love Christian historical romance that will have your laughing out loud, this is one not to be missed.

**ARC received via Netgalley for consideration. All opinions are my own.

The plot was compelling enough to hold my attention, though the pace was a bit slow. The characters were intriguing and added depth to the story.

Review coming soon! Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advance review copy. Opinions are mine.
