Critical Praise

“Shupe (the Uptown Girls series) opens her Fifth Avenue Rebels series with this effortlessly diverting Gilded Age romance...

This character-driven historical romance is sure to delight.” — Publishers Weekly on The Heiress Hunt

— New York Times Book Review on The Rogue of Fifth Avenue
