Rasheed, Leila Diamonds and Deceit (at Somerton), 432 p.
Disney, 2014. Mature Content: PG
(liaisons, without being descriptive, one intimation of a homosexual
relationship that is also not descriptive); Language: G; Violence: G.
Ruby used to be his servant, but now she is
the adopted (formerly bastard) daughter of Lord Westlake. Moving from downstairs to nobility is not
easy; the gentry can be more cutting and malicious than Ruby ever thought. As she navigates the social morass of Pre
World War I England, affairs of the heart seek to trip up not only Ruby, but
everyone around her.
For your teen girls who adore the Luxe series, Rasheed has
also written a scandalous tale of romance.
Akin to a trashy romance novel, without the graphic-ness of that genre,
Rasheed includes all of the glitter this last glittering moment before war
descended to break the class barriers.
It isn’t always easy to keep the many plotlines and characters straight,
but Ruby and her half-sister Ava are the mainstays here.
