I really enjoyed the Luxe. I love this sort of thing, the historical scandal, and pretty dresses and romance.
And I still like Rumors, but I found it to be just a little bit lacking. Probably because I knew how it was going to end (thanks to the stupid reviewers on Amazon who write reviews with spoilers in them without bothering to put SPOILER ALERT at the top of them), and I was seriously disappointed in the ending. I mean, really! It goes so completely wrong, and (spoiler alert?) the good guys lose and the bad guys win, for the time being (I guess).
Right now, I am 3/4 of the way through Envy, and it is soooo redeeming this series, at least for me. It's just better. So, those disappointed with Rumors, hang on....just hang on.
Age group: 14+, for some implied sexual situations/sexuality (vague, but it also has very very bad consequences), drinking references (also with consequences), and (very) mild language.
