"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Darlings
By Cristina Alger
Publication Date: February 16
From Amazon:
Now that he's married to Merrill Darling, daughter of billionaire financier Carter Darling, attorney Paul Ross has grown accustomed to New York society and all of its luxuries: a Park Avenue apartment, weekends in the Hamptons, bespoke suits. When Paul loses his job, Carter offers him the chance to head the legal team at his hedge fund. Thrilled with his good fortune in the midst of the worst financial downturn since the Great Depression, Paul accepts the position.
But Paul's luck is about to shift: a tragic event catapults the Darling family into the media spotlight, a regulatory investigation, and a red-hot scandal with enormous implications for everyone involved. Suddenly, Paul must decide where his loyalties lie--will he save himself while betraying his wife and in-laws or protect the family business at all costs?

That sounds like one complicated family drama. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this. Interesting pick.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
Park Avenue and hedge funds, definitely sounds like it should be an interesting read. "The Darlings" makes me think of Peter Pan. :-) Check out my WOW here
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this before, it sounds interesting. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this one, and I love the cover. Great pick :).

This reminds me of that family drama that was on TV a few years ago. The rich, crazy family were named the Darlings too. I was so sorry when it got canceled. Sounds like this is my kind of book!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the title of this book, my mind went immediately to Peter Pan. Then I read the synopsis. I hadn't heard of this before, but it sounds like a good read! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds great!
ReplyDeleteMy very first 'Waiting On Wednesday' post.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very current. The fact that the protagonist must decide between himself and wife could be very interesting in the way the author creates the characters. Good pick.
ReplyDeleteOkay, your pick does sound interesting. I'll admit that I'm almost intrigued enough to add it to my TBR. But I know, realistically, this just isn't a book I'd read. Haha, but I'm intrigued to see what you think when you finally read it. (:
ReplyDeleteIf you like, stop by and check out my WoW.
Kim @ Book Munchies
Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteBtw-It seems Donna already linked our post, so you can ignore the one I just did. Sorry!
-Jess
That's a really nice title! Sounds more like a fairy tale story rather than a family drama. :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen this book popping up. It looks good. I don't like this cover though. I'm new to WoW. =)
ReplyDeleteThis one looks really good. When I read the title I thought right away of the family in 101 Dalmations....I think their last name was Darling. However, when I read the description it sounds nothing at all like that!
ReplyDeleteThe title sure reminds me of The Darlings in the TV show Dirty Sexy Money. Intriguing choice. :)
ReplyDeleteMy first WOW post:

So happy to have joined for the first (but definitely not the last) time. :)
I'd definitely be interested in this one. great pick Jill.
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds so cool! I love the whole investigatory feel to it. Mystery novels are always so interesting to read and I'm super intrigued to see how this one plays out! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW. And you can still enter the first giveaway and second giveaway in my Autumn BookFest if you haven't already!
Another awesome pick for your WOW, Jill! I just love Wednesdays! ♥
It's hard to tell from the plot summary because so much will depend on how the characters are developed. It definitely sounds like a good plot line for delving into how people behave when faced with a moral quandary.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of The Darlings - outside of my normal reading, but it sounds great!!
ReplyDeleteI thought this might be an updated version of Peter Pan! From the name of the characters, but no...guess not. It does sound good and seems timely certainly.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of this one. I wonder if has some Mafia stuff in it. That's a tough choice, betray the wife to save himself. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteErika @ Badass Book Reviews
Another book that uses Darling as a last name! I love that; I never get tired of it.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this one and thought it looked interesting, but haven't decided yet it I'll add it to my TBR. I'll be watching for reviews.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this meme! Back after a long hiatus. Glad it's still thriving.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'll have to add that to my TBR list. Thanks for the meme!

I haven't heard of THE DARLINGS before, but I love the splash of purple on the cover! Adds a pop of color :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first WoW! ^_^
Oh, this one sounds so good! Thanks for sharing....
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this book, but it sounds like an interesting book.

our first attempt, thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteWhat aren't I waiting for? LOL! Until I discovered book blogs, I have no idea where I got my information on what books were coming out. To think I once wandered aimlessly through bookstores, not knowing what the true gems were!
ReplyDeleteThe Darlings looks great - I especially love the cover.
I have not read this book, but it sounds interesting :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for making this awesome meme :D

ReplyDeleteSounds like a good read. Did you watch that short lived series on ABC? It was called Dirty Money. They were the darlings too and the main guy was their attorney. I'll have to read this!
ReplyDeleteHaha sounds interesting. I'll have to add it to my to read list. =]
ReplyDeleteDarlings. Man another book that I've never heard of. Sounds different. Good choice. Just posted my WOW now. Had to work, real life sometimes gets in the way.
