Rowena “Wren” Ballantyne is uprooted from her home in Kentucky
travelling with her father to his birth home in Pennsylvania never to return.
Wren meets her kinfolk and learns what being a member of the influentially rich
Ballantyne family means in Pennsylvania society and abroad. Longing for the
comforts of home in Kentucky and attempting to adjust to life in Pennsylvania,
Wren is taught lessons on becoming a woman of society by learning etiquette
techniques under the tutelage of her Aunt Andra and finds friendship with the
handsome James Sackett.
James Sackett is a trusted friend and employee of the
Ballantyne family who accepts the request to escort Wren during her season
debut attending all social events introducing her to society and possible
suitors for marriage. Sackett’s friend Malachi Cameron is another influential
wealthy social tycoon who enters Wren’s world resulting in blessings from the
Ballantyne clan of their courtship but Wren is unsettled with her feelings for
Malachi as her heart belongs to another and unbeknownst to Wren, Malachi’s
heart belongs to another just as well.
Love’s Fortune is
Book 3 of the Ballantyne Legacy by Laura Frantz that concludes the series and
reads as a standalone novel. The story line is enjoyable but I could not find a
connection with the main character Wren Ballantyne and feeling a few scenes
could have been omitted as they dragged on regarding the debut season of the
Kentuckian making for a long read. However, the plot concerning a young woman thrown
in the world of debutantes and high society without a clue to its inner working
is well worth the read and recommended to book lovers of historical fiction and
romance novels.
