This was an entertaining 1920’s romance that was full of clever and humorous discourse that captured the essence of its heroin, Gerardina (Gerry) Chiledexter, and Cooper, (Coop) her so-called adversary with spot-on witty dialogue. Their biting discourse sprints throughout this romp with Cooper, a big Texan with big plans that apparently don’t include her, that is until he finally realizes he’s met his match, a woman who doesn’t bend to his will. Both prejudge the other until they realize there is more there than they expected. This romance was cleverly written on every level by author, June Kearns, with laugh out loud dialogue that keeps the reader turning the pages to see how these two end up.

The 20 Girl the ghost and all that jazz June Kearns Books Reviews
Romance novels don't normally get me hooked, but this one did. I so enjoyed it, especially all the period details. The heroine is delightfully dotty with a surprisingly stubborn core. I also enjoyed the slight esoteric element and all the cameo roles of English country eccentricity and Texan rough toughness. Great fun and very charming. Lovely escapism that I could probably see myself reading again. Thank you June Kearns!
June Kearns does it again! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author's unique writing style is laced with wit and charm. She draws the reader into her stories, creating a world where one gets to know the characters well. I didn't want to put the book down. Ms. Kearns is a modern day Jane Austen. I highly recommend this novel to any fan of classic romance. You'll want to grab her other book as well, An Englishwoman's Guide to the Cowboy. You won't be sorry. I look forward to more from June Kearns!
I so enjoyed this wonderfully written book about an odd attraction that was as maddening for the protagonist as it was compelling. I was enchanted by this sweet, unusual tale of love and longing - the longing to fit in, for the past, and for a life without compromise. The author is so good at whimsy, she made ghosts and seances seem perfectly matter-of-fact. I found The 20's Girl captivating and hard to put down!
Coop, a Texas cowboy shows up at an English bookshop to tell Gerry (the owner) that she also owns half of his ranch and that she needs to sign off on the property. Though she needs to money, she is being led my her deceased aunt's guidings and goes to Texas to see the land before selling. She and Coop get off to a rough start but she learns a lot about his lifestyle. She also learns that her aunt and the man who raised Coop, had a torrid love affair. She starts to fall for him and leaves Texas in a rush to return to England. There are a lot of surprising events and you will have to read The 20's Girl, the Ghost and all that jazz to see what the stars had in store for these two.
Straight out of the box, I found this novel fun and delightful to read. Englishwoman Gerry discovers her Aunt Leonie left her half a share of a Texas ranch, and an inscrutable Texan, Cooper, is somehow part of the deal.
June Kearns does a wonderful job with moving the story along at a perfect pace, and she is clever with awakening all the senses by utilizing flawlessly written words. I saw the colorful silk dresses and felt their melting softness; I smelled the fruity-spiciness of Mitsouko perfume; I was curious, wary, excited, and thrilled at the ups and downs of the relationship between the exuberant Englishwoman, Gerardina Mary Chiledexter (a.k.a. “Gerry”,) and the enigmatic Texan-with-no-surname, Cooper.
At first, I was a little chagrined at June Kearns’ writing style. The half sentences and phrases threw me off at the beginning, and I wasn’t sure if this would be a good read. However, I continued, determined, and discovered that much of what she wrote is, indeed, thoughts that ran through Gerry’s mind, and that we ourselves think and converse in such a manner. Does anyone think to themselves, or even speak to other in complete, perfectly grammatically correct sentences? Not always. Sometimes. Mostly. Indeed. Let’s move along.
What I was impressed with was Kearns’ knowledge and obvious well-researched history and social aspects of the 1920s world. She was right on about societal conventions, clothing, fashion, and even right down to perfumer Guerlin’s Mitsouko. That perfume, indeed, was a fairly new scent (introduced right after World War I) and was popular, too.
Kearns’ descriptions of England and Texas are picturesque and authentic. I felt I was in the cool, green English countryside and in the dusty, stifling heat of Texas. Even the brief allusions to Gerry’s ocean voyage and the undulating feel was something to which I could relate.
The romantic scenes are tastefully written and leaves all the details to the reader. To me, that is a sign of a truly gifted writer. Bravo!
I warmed up to Kearns’ writing style as I turned each page, I actually grew to care quite a bit about all the characters, living, dead, human, and beast. There were funny scenes and scenes that made me giggle, and I grew so curious about Archie, that, well, I’d like to see his story in a future Kearns novel. I would like to get to know him better.
All in all, I highly recommend “The 20s Girl, Ghosts, and All That Jazz” by June Kearns for anyone who likes the 1920s era, loves a little sweet romance, and relishes a mystery and intrigue.
This is a novel that I’ll pick again off my shelf and read.
