Mark of Distinction (Price of Privilege, Book 2) by Jessica Dotta

Book Discription:

London is said to be the glittering jewel of society, a world unto itself—but to Julia Elliston it is a city of shadows. Her life is swiftly dissolving into scandal. And in Victorian society, even a whisper of scandal—substantiated or not—can be the death of a young woman’s reputation.

Now under the watchful eye of Lord Roy Pierson, one of most influential men in England, Julia begrudgingly accepts his protection. But Chance Macy’s power is far-reaching as well, and he is eager to assert his claim over her.

Thrust into society as the Emerald Heiress, Julia is the toast of London, a celebrated curiosity. But in reality she’s trapped between the clutches of two powerful men. Aided only by a gentleman whose intentions she prays she can trust, Julia must finally take control of her own fate—but outwitting one’s foe rarely goes according to plan.

Dotta continues to keep readers on the edge of their seats and glued to the pages! Book 2 in the Price of Privilege series, is another brilliantly written novel. The setting, characters, mystery and intrigue are exquisitely penned and have left this reader eagerly anticipating the conclusion in Book 3. 

I do have to add my one complaint ... While I was thrilled with 99% of the book, the ending was not where I hoped the story was going. That said, I am still eager for Book 3! Who knows what will come forth out of it!
