first book by this author

i picked this up at bj's never heard of author..great book..read it in 2 days..looking forward to reading others by this author

Took a chance on this one.

I had read several of Ms Spindler's previous books and while they held my interest I was not overly impressed. Therefore I had hesitated on this book but I'm glad I got it. Well worth the read!

Fortune

Fortune was an excellent book it had love, suspense, drama and plenty of deceit. Just the kind of books I like. Thanks Erica Spindler keep those good books coming.

Ms. Spindler does it again -- a great book!!

Erica Spindler writes a wonderful story of suspense and family legacies, adding just the right touch of romance to the formula. The twist of incest is haunting as the Monarch family tries their hardest to get and keep Skye Dearborn in their family to continue the jewerly designing empire -- no matter what the costs. As the story unfolds, Skye slowly learns the truth and the story keeps you riveted to your seat! Erica Spindler is my "newly discovered author" for this year. After reading all of her other books, this was the last one I read. It's just as wonderful as the first one! Now I'm disappointed because I don't have any other books to read by her. Great job, Ms. Spindler! I'm anxiously awaiting your next terrific book

Erica Spindler is in top form;an exciting romantic drama

In 1971 Chicago, Madeline Monarch loves her infant girl Grace. However, she worries about the way Grace's older step-brother Griffen looks and treats the baby. She feels that there is something wrong with the boy. He r spouse Pierce and his father Adam are elated to have a female in the family because they believe that she has the "gift" of design that only distaff Monarchs have. In 1976, Madeline catches Griffen doing bad things to Grace. She tells Pierce and Adam, who call her insane instead. Madeline decides to abscond with her darling daughter into the night. She succeeds in running away from the Monarchs. In 1983 Pennsylvania, Chance McCord joins a traveling circus that has Madeline performing as a fortune teller. Her daughter Skye is a pain to Chance, but they soon become friends. When Madeline realizes that the past is catching up to her, she knows she must flee for Skye's safety. She asks Chance to watch Skye so that she can divert the pursuers away from her daughter. He agrees, but soon flees into the night with Skye. A few ye ars later, Chance and Skye have fallen in love with each other. However, Skye wants to find her missing mother to learn why she deserted her. She also craves the knowledge of who her father is. Finding either one may l ead to opening Pandora's Box as Griffen still searches for his "beloved" step-sister. FORTUNE is a fast-paced romantic suspense that will thrill and chill readers. The lead characters are both excellent, but especially delightful is understanding the motivation behind both of them. Erica Spindler is at the top of her game with this novel that should please romance and suspense fans equally. Harriet Klausner ----
