Sofia Kendrick has always cherished her tiara. As the youngest daughter of a wealthy New York family, she’s lived the life of an American princess. But after two scandalous divorces and a breakup smear her name across the society rags, the shine from her crown has dulled. People call her superficial, even gaudy.

She’s nothing more than tinsel.

Desperate for escape and starving for peace, Sofia heads to Montana for a holiday weekend with her brother. But she doesn’t get the relaxing vacation she planned. Instead, she’s put to work in a bar alongside Dakota Magee—a man who does not want her help. A man who is set on teaching her a few lessons about real life and hard work. But Sofia has a couple of life lessons of her own to teach. Like how to fall in love.

Coming soon!!

‘TINSEL’
is the fourth full length book in Devney Perry's 'Lark Cove' series. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'

I didn’t think I would connect with Sophia’s character but surprisingly I did, my heart went out to her as soon as I started the book, just a young girl seeking approval from any quarter she could get it, but it just seemed all throughout her life from her parents to her siblings they were all doing wonderful life changing things with their lives, they never had time for the Sophia, garnering no expectations from her family other than being a 'princess.' As though her life wasn’t just as important. And you could see and understand why she was shrouded in so much self doubt, where she struggled to find her niche within the Kendrick family.

After a magazine leaves an unsavory article about her, Sophia flees New York to lick her wounds where she goes to stay with brother Logan and his wife Thea, in Montana. As soon as she arrives, Thea drops an impromptu holiday on Logan and comes up with a cunning plan of putting Sophia to work in the bar whilst they are on holiday for ten days. Thus putting Dakota in charge, Dakota is the bartender at the bar which Thea is co-owner of.

Sophia was well out of her comfort zone, here's a female who has had every whim catered for her, growing up with money has afforded her a life of luxury, she's never had to work, she's never had to lift a finger for herself, because why should she when she hires people to do it for her. So Dakota in some ways was a glorified babysitter.

❝ She was an enigma. A puzzle
She was a woman who had everything in the world at her fingertips yet seemed
so....miserable and lonely. She seemed so lost. ❞

You are not wrong to think this is where she'll break but she will surprise you, she's made of tougher stuff than even I gave her credit for, and I started to see her in a new light. She had so many layers, it's not until you delve deeper into the story that she comes into her own.

It didn't take these two long to click, he saw something within her that many didn't. She wore her heart on her sleeve. But what happens when the ten days are up and she goes back home to New York?

❝ So are you in?❞
❝ In for what?❞
❝ A week with me.❞
His eyes flashed, the warniness turning to heat
❝ Think that's smart?❞
❝ I can walk away from this as friends.
Can you?.❞
He nodded.
❝ Not a problem. ❞

ALL THE FEELS IN THE WORLD This book right here hit all those swoony, heart is full feels. I sighed, I swooned, I laughed, I cried, I loved. I couldn't see how these two fitted with each other, they were PERFECTLY IMPERFECT, BUT PERFECT TOGETHER. They had so many hurdles to cross, so many opinions to overcome. These two fast approached my most favourite characters within this series. They were so easy to relate to, I connected to both of them on all levels, I felt their love, their pain, their hardships, their striving to prove themselves to loved ones, their need to better themselves, to find themselves.

Tinsel played on ALL MY EMOTIONS , so early on in the book I was under their spell, loving them together, sad when they were sad, I felt their pain as though it were my own. Like a yoyo my feelings were out of control, this fast became my favourite book within the series.
