Cora Kensington and her family and friends end their very eventful Grand Tour of Europe in Glittering Promises. In The Grand Tour Series, Lisa T. Bergren gives readers a glimpse into a lifestyle most of us would never experience on our own.Before reading Glittering Promises, you will want to read the first two books in the series: Glamorous Illusions (here is my review) and Grave Consequences (here is my review). The books flow together into one continuing story, and you will be jumping into the middle of the story if you skip the other stories.
The "grand tour" experience enjoyed by wealthy young people in the early 20th century was a concept I knew nothing about before reading this series. Getting a look at that practice and learning interesting facts about places the Kensingtons and Morgans visited made for a very good read. There are a few relationship issues in the story that tend to get a bit monotonous at times, but all in all the story moves at an enjoyable pace.
Glittering Promises is an intriguing mix of romance, adventure, mystery, and faith. I recommend this entire series to fans of good historical fiction with a Christian perspective.
Thanks to Litfuse Publicity Group for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

About the book:
Lisa T. Bergren's popular Grand Tour series concludes as Cora Kensington
journeys farther into Italy, wrestles with a terrible ultimatum from her father,
and comes to terms with the Father who will never fail her.
America's newest heiress must decide if her
potential fortune is rationale enough to give up her freedom and all that God is
leading her toward. And when her newly-discovered siblings are threatened with
ruin, her quandary deepens. Then as Cora nears Rome, more journalists are
tracking the news story of the decade---"Copper Cora," the rags-to-riches
girl---and want to know more about her family and the men vying for her
attention. Meanwhile, a charming Italian countess decides that if Cora isn't
going to claim Will's heart, she might just try . . .
