Publisher’s Description
After losing the love of her life to a big city journalism job, Elissa Tillman pours herself into the suffragette movement and her secretarial work helping keep her father’s Pittsburg newspaper afloat.
Cole Parker returns to the steel city with the phantom failures of his past nipping his heels. All he asks of the future is a second chance with the woman he once spurned.
The murder of a millionaire offers the perfect chance for Elissa to prove to her father and the world that she’s a serious journalist. But there’s a catch–she has to compete for the story. Against none other than Cole Parker, the very man who shattered her heart.

My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this book. I loved that it was during the prohibition era and that it contained not only a romance but a mystery.
The main characters Elissa and Cole worked well together, yet I was a bit turned off by Elissa’s attitude at times. However, I understood that much of that was just to protect herself.
Typically, I read more mysteries than anything else, and the mystery part of this novel didn’t disappoint me. Lots of twists and surprises.
Cents of Style is the Place to Shop!
If you’re looking for a romance with a little deeper story, I would highly recommend you check this out.
I didn’t realize until after I finished reading this and looked at other reviews that this is a debut novel. That makes me all the more impressed! I’ve got McDaniel on my radar and I will be looking for her new book.
I received this ebook as a complimentary copy. My opinions and thoughts are my own.
What Concerned Me
Basically, there wasn’t much that concerned me. I guess, if I was going to be nit-picky, I didn’t really care that much for Elissa.
What I Liked Most
This is an easier part to answer than What Concerned Me. Though I don’t read much historical fiction, I thoroughly enjoyed it in this story. And being a mystery reader who is branching out into romance novels, it was wonderful. The mystery added lots to the story.
