Wealth cannot buy peace … or direction.

For Cora Kensington, the Grand Tour was to be the trip of a lifetime. She discovered the family she never knew she had, and may have even found the love she longs for in Will. And yet her life has just become infinitely more challenging …
  
Hounded by journalists chasing the beguiling story of the newest American heiress, Cora fights to remain true to her past, reconcile her present, and still embrace her future. But as Will struggles with her newfound wealth, she begins to wonder if their love is strong enough to withstand all that threatens to pull them apart.

Complicating matters is the stubborn pursuit of Pierre de Richelieu and the increased demands on her time and attention. Cora must stand up for what she believes—regardless of how that might challenge current family and cultural norms—in order to remain true to who she really is.

And as she glimpses the end of the tour, Cora knows it’s time to decide Who and what defines her … and who and what does not.

GLITTTERING PROMISES is the third and final book in Ms. Bergren’s The Grand Tour Series. The first two books are Glamorous Illusions and Grave Consequences. Readers will want to read these books in order as they do not stand alone. 

GLITTERING PROMISES is a really thick book – over 400 pages – but it draws the series out to a satisfying conclusion. It was very well done, as Ms. Bergren brought the Kensington family saga through many different trials to an ending that readers will be happy with.
