A Gilded Lady by Elizabeth Camden

"'You are unconditionally loved. Unconditionally forgiven You are a child of God, deserving of more credit than you're giving yourself.' The McKinley assignment hadn't gone well...failure was a normal part of being human, not a permanent condition."
Having this book overdue at the library so I could finish this with the kind of ending it had was so worth it. But I'm also grateful my county library doesn't do fees anymore *laughing*
Anyway, one thing I did enjoy about this historical fiction was learning that because of the assassination of President William McKinley, it vamped up the need for protection of the President and his family. It seemed crazy to me for Congress to not do anything about it after the assassinations of Lincoln and Garfield and how in the world it took 3 assassinations I will never know. But to think that secret service managed to protect all US Presidents from 1901 when McKinley was killed and then 62 years later, JFK was assassinated.
This book however was fun, I loved Nathaniel Trask and Caroline's story and was rooting for them since the beginning since they're the perfect match for each other. Despite their ups and downs and own challenges they were each facing, they managed to pull each other out of their struggles. Basically, they complimented each other with both their stubbornness and they were just adorable together. Now I just have to wait for Luke Delacroix's story that's coming in February and I can't wait to read his story since Luke is quite the charmer and just as adorable. *heart eyes* If I could I would marry Luke Delacroix and be Gray's and Caroline's sister-in-law ;) hahaha. So solid five plus stars! :)
