Book Synopsis
Following a painful public humiliation, Dahlia Lancaster was left heartbroken, friendless, and shunned by London Society. But rather than dwelling on the balls she’ll never attend, Dahlia has turned her attentions to her unconventional inheritance—a steamship company. After a year of work, she’s preparing to launch The Aurora, a luxury ocean liner that promises to revolutionize travel. The invitation list is exclusive: Dahlia’s closest friends—the Blue Orchid Society—as well as a few influential individuals from her old life whose presence will ensure the success of her endeavor. Unfortunately, not all have the best interests of Dahlia or her shipping line at heart.
Lord Meredith has loved Dahlia since their first meeting. But after her fall from grace, she has evaded his every attempt to see her—until she extends an invitation to join her on The Aurora. Once aboard, Lord Meredith and Dahlia’s tentative rekindling of their friendship is interrupted when things begin to go terrible wrong. Mischievous dealings take on an ominous tone, and it’s clear that someone is intent on humiliating Dahlia again or worse—but she will not be sunk so easily.

My Review
The Blue Orchid Society Series is a personal favorite of mine. Its women are strong and truly independent. Each friend shows great loyalty and intelligence to one another. Sadly, this is the last book, but it ends well.
Book five centers on Dahlia Lancaster. Society shunned her after a failed proposal humiliated her. She spent a year rebuilding her life. Dahlia takes over a steamship company via her inheritance. The launch has her friends and some foes aboard. Lord Miles Meridith, her old friend, still loves her and Dahlia doesn't know about the extent of his feelings. His devotion touched me, even with Dahlia's doubts. The romance builds slowly. But the pace seems real with all the shipboard events.
Here's what makes this book special:
-The Blue Orchid Society rallies to
support Dahlia.
-Mysterious events and dangers
abound on the ship.
-A French Chef serving delicacies.
-Friendships and loyalties face tests.
- -A Magic show with "illusions" playing
- a big part.
-A slow-burn romance with some lovely moments between Dahlia and Miles.
The mysteries surrounding the mishaps on the cruise are very intriguing and pull you in quickly. The twists and turns will keep readers guessing until the culprits are finally revealed.
You can enjoy this book without reading the others, but please start with the first book. You'll become better acquainted with the Blue Orchid Society ladies and other characters. This series celebrates loyal friends and confident women. You'll also adore the rare men who love and support their ladies and help them fulfill their dreams. This Victorian Era series is a must-read for historical romance fans.
