After a Fashion

A Class of Their Own, Book 1

By: Jen Turano

Narrated by: Nancy Peterson

Miss Harriet Peabody dreams of the day she can open up a shop selling refashioned gowns to independent working women like herself. Unfortunately, when an errand for her millinery shop job goes sadly awry due to a difficult customer, she finds herself out of an income.

Mr. Oliver Addleshaw is on the verge of his biggest business deal yet, when he learns his potential partner prefers to deal with men who are settled down and wed. When Oliver witnesses his ex not-quite-fiance cause the hapless Harriet to lose her job, he tries to make it up to her by enlisting her help in making a good impression on his business partner.

Harriet quickly finds her love of fashion can't make her fashionable. She'll never truly fit into Oliver's world, but just as she's ready to call off the fake relationship, fancy dinners, and elegant balls, a threat from her past forces both Oliver and Harriet to discover that love can come in the most surprising packages.

Easy and Charming Listen

It had some Pretty Woman parallels, but I love the series and can’t wait to get to the next book!

I accidentally found myself bing “reading”

This author always does such a wonderful job with her stories. I enjoyed the snippets of historical details she included in the story. And the main female protagonist is a strong caring woman. You can’t help but want every good thing to happen to her. I like the route she took with this story. I only wish it could go on longer. Fortunately, she set the story up perfectly for is to hear about all 3 interesting ladies and I look forward to hearing or reading where she takes them next. This was a very enjoyable listen, and may be one of my new favorites.

Lovely

Such a great start to this new series! Humor. Wonderful characters, adorable dog and surprising revelations make this story memorable. Add the narrator Nancy and it is perfect!
