When I read a book I absolutely love, I find myself comparing it to some of my favorite foods. In the case of Secretary to the Socialite, it is most definitely caramel. You know that soft, creamy, dreamy stuff that tastes so good, you end up letting it slowly dissolve in your mouth instead of chewing it?
That’s the one.
When you pick up this book, prepare to be whisked away to an utterly delicious story filled with characters who draw you in and envelop you in their vibrant, sumptuous world.
Like eating caramel, I read this slowly, taking in each moment as if I were right there with Millicent and Violet. I suggest you do, too!

From Goodreads:
In the glittering world of mid-century America, Millicent Rogers is a woman ahead of her time—Standard Oil heiress, fashion icon, patron of the arts, wife, mother, lover to men like Ian Fleming and Clark Gable. Her beauty and intelligence captivate the world. But behind the scenes, she harbors secrets of ill health and loneliness that only one person knows—her secretary Violet Redfield. A quiet but artistic woman who left her Iowa farm family to pursue dreams of being a writer, Violet navigates a delicate balance between devotion to Millicent and her own dreams of independence.
As their lives become intertwined in a tangle of love, betrayal, and ambition, both women must confront the hidden costs of their powerful alliance. From lavish Hollywood parties to the mountains of bohemian Taos, Secretary to the Socialite explores this intricate bond between a woman of privilege and the one who keeps her world from falling apart.
In this captivating, immersive historical novel, two women from very different worlds find themselves at a crossroads where loyalty and personal desires collide, and where their choices could alter the course of their lives forever…
