The Awakening of Poppy Edwards, is the second in Marguerite Kaye's 1920's undone series.
Poppy travelled to the USA after the act
with her sister broke up. Now a star on Broadway and in film. She is scared of
rejection and of falling in Love the loss of her sister has been a huge burden
on her. This is the reason that she has a keep their distance attitude with
men. They are alright for a bit of fun but she is unable to handle anything
serious.
Meeting Lewis after her act they spend one
night together before she decides to up and leave. Never looking back she
didn’t do that. When Lewis shows up in his business hat as the famous broadway
producer Lewis Cartsdye Poppy is horrified. She has never been a casting couch
victim and this is exactly what it appears she has done.
Lewis on the other hand doesn’t believe
that is what she was. Yet they are unable to keep their hands off each other no
matter how hard they try. Both Lewis and poppy are trying to find a way of not
being scared about life. Lewis because he survived the horrors of the war and
Poppy for the loss of her sister Daisy.
Lewis organises a reunion for the two sisters and along with her sisters beau Dominic I believe they lived quite happily in L.A.
I didn’t seem to connect as much with Poppy
and Lewis, as I had reading Daisy and Dominic. I’m not sure why, the love
scenes are hot and the story flowed well. I did find myself shouting at the
book when Lewis said the USA won the war in Europe for us, which is a matter of
opinion depending on which side of the pond you live. I am liking the era
though and would happily read another of Ms Kayes books if she decided to set
it in the 1920’s.
