"A strong finish to a strong-willed Gilded Age series.The book is also notable for showing a different side of Manhattan, as Nellie's mother was an Irish maid and her family in Hell's Kitchen is central to the story. Historically accurate details, especially surrounding the battle for information about birth control in the 1890s, round out this resonant tale." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on The Duke Gets Even "Joanna Shupe vividly evokes 1890s New York, from glamorous restaurants to a Bowery boxing hall to the original Madison Square Garden." -- New York Times Book Review on The Rogue of Fifth Avenue "Swoon! With The Rogue of Fifth Avenue, Shupe continues to build on the sterling legacy she's building for herself as a gifted weaver of glittering Gilded Age tales (complete with lots of nod to real historical figures), while also deepening the contemporary resonance of her themes." -- Entertainment Weekly "Shupe's well-loved Fifth Avenue Rebels series returns with a very saucy friends-with-benefits story. As ever, her command of historical details enlivens the story as much as her command of intimate ones. The Mrs.

Astor of Gilded Age romances provides another smart and sexy read." -- Kirkus Reviews on The Bride Goes Rogue "Shupe (the Uptown Girls series) opens her Fifth Avenue Rebels series with this effortlessly diverting Gilded Age romance. [Harrison and Maddie's] sexual chemistry and dynamic banter, especially during intimate moments, convey an alluring blend of love and playfulness. This character-driven historical romance is sure to delight." -- Publishers Weekly on The Heiress Hunt.
