Peter Strauss, an American reporter visiting England, isn’t exactly what Alice had in mind. However, his friendship proves invaluable as Alice faces the challenges of her debut. Almost immediately, she attracts the attention of a well-born gentleman - perfect, save for the simple fact that he’s not a Christian.

Beautiful!

This is a beautifully written narrative of Alice and her becoming a debutant and learning how to navigate London Society and learning how to read men. It’s almost too good to be true and he’s very kind. She gets a couple warnings along the way, but done in a manner that you almost don’t believe it and one of the blessings of this is that she got to see his true colors before she made any kind of commitment. You also get to navigate her in our thoughts as she works through her feelings with her family and her friends.

I was lucky enough to listen to this book and the narrator Alexandra Ralph did an amazing job. She really knows how to bring this characters and this world to life. I’m truly enjoying this series if you like historical fiction books this is definitely a good series for you.

Best Alice & Ivy novel yet!

So, turns out I'm basically just Alice.
Which means that, if I had to sit through this entire book and listen to Alice (and me) learn our lessons, then I should at least get a Peter out of it.

But this book was awesome. The characters, the dialogue, the storyline, everything. Any little issues I had (like the quick way the romance flipped near the end) were just covered up by how much I enjoyed this story.

Definitely my favorite Alice & Ivy story yet.

I won't give a content review, because Kell gave a super detailed one in her review (on Goodreads).

*I received a free audiobook from the author. All thoughts are my own, even if I might be permanently altered by Peter Strauss. A positive review was not required.*

debut london season

At Her Fingertips is the third book in The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy series by Kellyn Roth, and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. In this series, each book alternates between Ivy and Alice, which makes for a fun read. This book is about Alice.
In this book, Alice is having her debut season into London society. Her goal is to find a husband. The one man that catches her sight is Gibson. As the story progresses, we get to see more of his character, and what a character he is, and not in a good way. We also have Peter, an American reporter, writing a piece on English society. While he is writing his story, he is staying in different people’s homes. This is when Alice and Ivy meet Peter. Peter is a very insightful man and a strong Christian. As Peter and Alice’s friendship develops, so do their feelings for each other. I loved being in the middle of London society. This story was perfect.
I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook, narrated by Alexandra Ralph, and it was so enjoyable. She brought the story to life.
Kellyn Roth does a great job of intertwining faith throughout.

*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from the author. A positive review was not required. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Awesome narrator!

Book three is another winner! I enjoyed watching Alice grow into a young lady. The confidence and wit from her childhood follow her into ad society, where she hopes to find a husband. I love how author Kellyn brings up the topic of being unequally yoked, forcing Alice to take a deeper look at herself and examine how deep her fair really is.
What was less appealing were moments where Alice talked down to people, sometimes inner thoughts but demeaning non-the-less. But she learns to curve her tongue and channels her thoughts to more charitable ones as she stops putting people in categories and 'class' as other a
Society people did.
She grows inwardly throughout the story by becoming more considerate of others and mature spiritually.
I love the friendship and kindness Peter offers to everyone and his willingness to sacrifice his feelings (sigh, true love) and be a steady friend for Alice and her prince charming.
I rate this a four-star.

At Her Fingertips - or NOT! Great Audiobook!

Alice is now having her "coming out" year! She is determined in this "first Season" she will have her marriage proposal. If he is from the 'right family". It won't matter if they love each other, they can still make it work. However, it is getting into the "first Season'" and still no prospects Alice can abide.
Peter Strauss is a successful American reporter. He is charming but not wealthy. However, he was college chums with a couple of "hopefuls". The one is clearly smitten with another of her friends. The other, who Peter is staying with, is highly sought after but with a dubious character. Alice could tame him, right?
Peter is smitten with the vivacious, beautiful Alice Knight. She is clearly not interested in him romantically and a long-distance relationship would never work. They do become good friends. She finds in him a valuable confidant.
At Her Fingertip addresses fickle ideas, growing changes in one's priorities. choosing a human over God, and different aspects of love. It also, emphasizes misinterpretations and fading friendship.
This also brings out the different mindsets of men vs women.
It is a poignant tale.
This is an amazing series and this third book does not disappoint.
Alexandra Ralph continues to do a very effective performance, as always.
