The Forgotten Room by Karen White, Beatriz Williams, and Lauren Willig

      "1945: When critically wounded Captain Cooper Ravenel is brought to a private hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side, young Dr. Kate Schuyler is drawn into a complex mystery that connects three generations of women in her family to a single extraordinary room in a Gilded Age mansion.
      Who is the woman in Captain Ravenel's miniature portrait who looks so much like Kate? And why is she wearing the ruby pendant handed down to Kate by her mother? In their pursuit of answers, they find themselves drawn into the turbulent stories of Olive Van Alan, driven in the Gilded Age from riches to rags, who hired out as a servant in the very house her father designed, and Lucy Young, who in the Jazz Age came from Brooklyn to Manhattan seeking the father she had never known. But are Kate and Cooper ready for the secrets that will be revealed in the Forgotten Room?"


      This novel has a very intriguing story line as it follows three different females living in three very different lifestyles, yet all somehow connected. The language was kept very clean, but there were multiple sexual scenes. While not describing too many details, sexual relations are implied and there are also several references to bare breasts and nudity. Some of these are in relation to posing for art, but these instances generally lead to more serious actions. A very good romance, this novel leaves you at the end satisfied, yet lingering on how things could have gone differently. However, there are the sexual scenes that would make it a bit uncomfortable for those looking for a clean read.
