"With her father dead, her fortune stolen, and her fian??? casting her aside, Miss Drusilla Merriweather's privileged life has been upended. She is left with only one option: to provide for her family by opening a finishing school in the allegedly haunted castle she's inherited from her eccentric aunt. However, her plan is immediately threatened by unscrupulous developers keen on claiming the coveted estate for themselves by any means necessary. Mr. Rhenick Wittenbecker, a dashing architect with a tendency to charm his way out of trouble, is convinced he can protect Drusilla but is challenged by her fierce independence. Yet when strange occurrences--walking suits of armor and unexpected ghostly visitors--arise within the castle's grounds, Drusilla must decide whether to risk her family's safety and her school on the gallant architect who seems to have found his way into her heart."--

Will her tenacity & his persistence save the day..
There is very little in the realm of historical romantic fiction as delightful as diving into a Jen Turano novel. I have been a fan for over a decade, I think the first one I read was her second novel, and I am still every bit as excited for each new release.
A Lesson In Propriety had all of the wonderful things that I've come to expect from a Jen Turano novel as well as some surprises along the way. Between some small protective pets, a kidnapping, midnight hauntings, a botched proposal, and a wild carriage ride, I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish.
Drusilla and Rhenick had me laughing aloud as they made their way from suspicion to a sweet and charming romance. The two characters are perfect for each other and you can't help but fall a little bit in love with them. The great news is that this is the first book in the Merriweather Academy For Young Ladies series so I didn't have to fully say goodbye when I turned that last page.
It was a lot of fun to start a new Jen Turano series and I finished A Lesson In Propriety in record time thanks to my inability to put it down. I definitely loved this first Merriweather Academy For Young Ladies novel and now I am beyond eagerly awaiting the next book in the series....
(I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)

An entertaining tale!
A Lesson in Propriety by Jen Turano is the first entertaining tale in the Merriweather Academy for Young Ladies series. I always look forward to reading Jen Turanoâ��s stories because I know there will be great characters and plenty of humor. I like that Drusilla Merriweather is resilient and independent. Drusilla is certainly extremely knowledgeable about the rules of social propriety (she knows the correct etiquette for every social occasion-what to say, do, and how to actâ�"she is walking etiquette book). Rhenick Wittenbecker is a good match for Drusilla. Of course, the road to happily ever after is a bumpy one, especially with the unusual and hilarious happening at the estate. I enjoyed the banter between Rhenick and Drusilla (I chuckled frequently). The message of being loved for who you are (the unique individual that you are) is very prevalent. I sat down one evening and read A Lesson in Propriety from beginning to end. I closed the book with a happy heart and a smile on my face.
