Synopsis
New beginnings.
Shocking revelations.
Unexpected endings.
A spring turns into summer, Elizabeth relishes her new role as a young wife, while her sister, Diana, searches for adventure abroad. But when a surprising clue about their father's death comes to light, the Holland girls wonder at what cost a life of splendor comes.
Carolina Broad, society's newest darling, fans a flame from her past, oblivious to how it might burn her future. Penelope Schoonmaker is finally Manhattan royalty—but when a real prince visits the city, she covets a title that comes with a crown. Her husband, Henry, bravely went to war, only to discover that his father's rule extends well beyond New York's shores and that fighting for love may prove a losing battle.
In the dramatic conclusion to the bestselling Luxe series, New York's most dazzling socialites chase dreams, cling to promises, and tempt fate. As society watches what will become of the city's oldest families and newest fortunes, one question remains: Will its stars fade away or will they shine ever brighter?

I Expected More!by HisAngel

November 21, 2009: I read the other three books within 2 weeks i loved them and i couldn't wait to for Splendor to come out. It actually came out on my birthday so i asked my hubby to get it for me,the begining i thought was good the middle not so great and the ending was horrible. I can't believe after all Henry and Diana went trough it ends that way, Penelope got what she deserved and still got the prize at the end. What was that all about! Carolina i felt so bad for but she asked for what she got. Now i wanted to know more about elizabeth but she wasn't in the book as much in the end i wanted to know more it just leaves u hanging. I think Anna Godbersen could have made it longer and with a better happier ending for all or some.

November 18, 2009: Now i know that not everything can end perfect, but it's a book, and it felt that the first three books were a waste with the way Splendor ended. The characters seemed changed, they weren't the same characters i fell in love with. Diana made me so mad in the ending. And i actually felt bad for Lina. My heart was broken for Henry, and i still can't get over it. Even Penolope's story ended awful (although she deserved it). It seems the only person who got what they wanted was Elizabeth, and she was hardly in the book at all! I still refuse to believe that's the real ending.
It felt like Anna Godbersen tried to end it too quickly, and it left you dying for more. I was so connected to the characters, and so upset with how it ended, that i cried and was depressed for days, i even threw my book at my wall. Anna should have sucked it up and wrote at least another 50-100 pages to finish it properly. The end is heart breaking and it takes days to get over. Please, please don't read this book, it ruins the Luxe series.
