A Favorite Author and Genre




THE FORTUNE HUNTER                      By: Daisy Goodwin                  5 Stars

Daisy Goodwin has a way with words. She can paint an image of such strength; you will feel as if you were living within the character’s world. When you are introduced to Caspar you can almost hear his endless ramblings as if you were in the direct path of his spewing words. She always leaves me enraptured in her talents and wishing for a quick passage of time before her next release.

The Fortune Hunter is a historical novel based around the Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) of Austria in the 1800s. She was known as one of the most beautiful women in Europe with hair down to her ankles. The book is based around a trip to England to hunt foxes on her magnificent horses.

The plot line follows Sisi, Charlotte and Bay. Charlotte is an average girl who is the sole heir to an enormous fortune. Bay has no title other than Captain and being an incredible horseman. Bay is caught between two women and deemed a fortune hunter no matter which one he chooses. This is a character driven novel that flows with the elegant grace only an empress could possess.
