About the Book
Miss Isadora Delafield may be an
heiress, but her life is far from carefree. When her mother begins pressuring
her to marry an elderly and uncouth duke, she escapes from the high society
world she's always known and finds herself to be an unlikely candidate for a
housekeeper position in rural Pennsylvania.
Mr. Ian MacKenzie is known for his savvy business sense and has built his
reputation and fortune completely on his own merits. But when his adopted
parents are in need of a new housekeeper and Isadora is thrown into his path,
he's unexpectedly charmed by her unconventional manner.
Neither Isadora nor Ian expected to find the other so intriguing, but when
mysterious incidents on the farm and the truth of Isadora's secret threaten
those they love, they'll have to set aside everything they thought they wanted
for a chance at happy-ever-after.

My Review
4.5 STARS!!!
He had the sneaking suspicion her
question was completely serious, which spoke volumes about her experience, or
lack thereof, in the kitchen.
Delightfully engaging, Turano once again takes readers on a
fanciful jaunt into the countryside with an heiress seeking anonymity from an
unsuitable suitor. But fanciful isn’t the only thing going on here. What struck
me most about this story is Isadora’s journey to becoming better—a better
person, that is.
While many assumptions are made about Isadora’s abilities (or
inabilities as the case may be), one thing she is not in want of is self-examination.
And when ‘Izzie’ finds herself lacking, she owns up to it and changes. Her
transformation is miraculous; like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
Along the way, there is plenty of entertainment and laughter which is classic
Turano style.
Ian MacKenzie is a successful businessman hoping to climb
even higher by marrying a society girl. His adoptive parents own the farm where
Isadora is masquerading as a housekeeper and he spends a lot of time there
helping them out. Shenanigans are happening in the area, some that turn rather
dangerous. But amidst it all, Ian also discovers there is more to life than
climbing the proverbial social ladder.
Christian fiction is all the better for the added addition
of Jen Turano’s books. Each one has its eccentricities, making them
exceptionally entertaining while faith in the Lord is woven skillfully
throughout as well. It’s never overdone, like Izzie’s attempts in the kitchen. J
I highly recommend Flights
of Fancy to historical fiction fans. It’s a sweet treat if there ever was
one! I was gifted a copy from the publisher and author with no expectation of a
review. No compensation has been received.
