Speakeasy by Elyse Douglas (with a Giveaway)

 


5 Stars!

ABOUT THE BOOK - 

In 2019, A West Village Nightclub Singer, Roxie Raines, stumbles through a basement doorway into the past and finds herself in Roaring Twenties New York, with all its dangers, secrets, excitement, and romance.

Roxie Raines lurches through a secret basement doorway in 2019, and time-slips back to New York’s raucous Roaring Twenties. While she dazzles the speakeasy crowds with her “modern sound,” she gets trapped in the dangerous web of Frankie Shay, an evil club owner. She struggles to escape his control and return to the basement doorway that sent her to 1925.

When she meets the handsome detective, Jake Kane, it’s love at first sight, but Jake has a secret past, and her own time travel secret makes him suspicious.

Roaring Twenties New York comes alive with flappers, gangsters, romance and speakeasies and Roxie’s stunning rise to stardom could come with the price of losing both the man she loves and her own life.

MY THOUGHTS -

Books written by Elyse Douglas have been some of my favorites and I have come to look forward to reading every one that comes out.

This book went beyond my expectations! I love books that are character driven and this was very much that. I loved Roxie and drew very attached to her. I never thought I would be that interested in the "Roaring Twenties" but this book proved me wrong. I found it to be fascinating, fun, and un-put-downable!

Another score for this awesome writing duo! I loved everything about this story, it's relaxed pace, the great characters, and a hint of love story, but even more so - the need... the need to know more. I had to keep reading because I HAD to find out what was going to happen.

The authors also did a wonderful job of making me want to read the next books in the series. I have a guess what they will be about and I can't wait!

If you enjoy time travel books, or historical fiction, this one is a no brainer! they can't write books fast enough for me.

Thank you - Virtual Author Book Tours for sending me this book to read and review!
