I do not usually enjoy stories where one person is already in a relationship at the beginning of the story. I know it should make me feel better to know that two people married for love instead of settling for a lackluster mediocre union.
I was annoyed at what all it took for Andrew to finally decide on an socially acceptable way to marry Chloe. I think he was playing with fire by indulging his desires to be with Chloe before he had things totally worked out with her cousin. He should have thoug...more

Just finished The Wary Widow by Jerrica Knight-Catania. It's just your normal, run of the mill historical romance. The story is about Chloe Hawthorne, cousin of Lady Elizabeth Crawley, chaperoning Elizabeth for a season in London. Lady Elizabeth is betrothed to be married to Lord Andrew Wetherby. Lord Andrew and Chloe find that there is a mutual attraction between them but do not act upon it because he is betrothed. However, Lady Elizabeth is seen with another gentleman who wishes to gain her fa...more

This is a historical romance. I found this story to be a bit different than others that I have had the pleasure to read. I liked the way the writer portrayed her characters and the interesting story she wove around them.
Mrs. Chloe Hawthorne, young widow, is chaperone to her cousin Lady Elizabeth for the London Season. Lady Elizabeth is betrothed to Lord Andrew Wetherby. Lord Andrew views this as a marriage of convenience with no emotions involved on either side. Lady Elizabeth knows that Lord...more

Romantic and cute. Unlike many a historical novel, the main characters didn't take forever realizing their inevitable feelings for each other. The hero, Andrew, was handsome, cool and smoldering in such a way not to be overbearing and still seem believable. The heroine, Chloe, was likable and overall level-headed though that cannot be said about her annoying cousin Elizabeth. And even though Elizabeth wasn't my favourite character, she and her story was mentioned often enough that I wanted closu...more
I have to admit I have not read the first two. I got his free over at iBooks and wanted to see if it was good. Setting aside some errors and editing issues, the story was pretty decent. I was like many others why was a 19-year-old that is not familiar with the ton or how society works would be a chaperon. However, I wanted to get into the book so I kept reading. I did not care for some of the characters and others were ok. I was wanting something good to happen to Chloë and glad she found love e...more
Sadly with this one I have to give it a partial read... I hit the sexual encounter, found it a little to graphic combined with the confusion of identical twins switching their identities and the immoral choices and really skipped to the end for the conclusion. I did enjoy the first half of the book but I personally do not enjoy the identical twin switching that often crops up (could be due to being the mother of my own pair and the hope they NEVER try that on me) so if you are not too picky abou...more
I enjoyed this book. I thought the story was well written. The story of boy and girl become engaged for more convience than love, boy meets "new" girl and falls deeply in love is one that can at times be tiresome. This one was nice, neither one wanted to hurt Lizzie's feelings. I thought Chloe's character tried with all her heart to do the right thing, but sometimes love just doesn't let things play out like they are meant to. I would have liked for the book to have the truth come out sooner, an...more
Oy… by far, the hardest review I've ever written. This book had tons of promise, but inevitably it was simply mediocre in my eyes. While it was decently written and a real page turner, I couldn't really get into the story. Although, I did like that, even though it was long, it was a fairly quick read. It was also very descriptive, it was like I was watching it all unfold on a screen. I love when that happens. Which is probably the sole saving grace from a lower rating from me.

Sweet and simple. I picked this up for my kindle,a s it was free and was pleasantly surprised. Nice little romanace novel. Not too trashy.
My main issue is that there didnt seem to be a lot of character development. This was book 3 in the series, so I may have missed some of that in previous installations, but the main character, Chole, could have used a bit more.
As with this type of book, there is a happy ending, but I felt that it wrapped it up a little too quickly.
Good distraction read.

For a book I ordered on a whim free from iTunes, this was pretty good. It might be a bit shorter than books published into paperback, but the quality is pretty much the same. It had better character development and complexity of plot than most of the books I find available for free or $0.99 for the digital version. Obviously not the best book of the year, but it was very enjoyable for a lazy afternoon when I was just looking for something to read by the pool.
What a little gem! This was a free download from Kindle so I was not expecting much, but what a surprise. I must have been in the right mood for this book because I could not put it down. This is book 3 in a series, but I was not lost in the story. I actually have gone ahead and purchased book 4 so I can find out what happens to the Twin brother. Great little find. Happy reading - Frankie
I enjoyed the book it was a great read but I feel like I missed something... there was a major scene that I felt should have happened at the end of the book between Chloe and Lizzie... and apparently I need to read the next one to get that closure.
There were some consistency issues that bothered me but my need to find out what happens next will get me to read the next book.

I was actually surprised that this one was free. It was really good the storyline was actually engaging. Andrew was rather endearing even though he was far from perfect. I really liked Chloe even though she was yet another woman with issues. Overall the story was just sweet. The heat factor is nonexistent with this one but it's still worth reading.
Estaba gratis.. era de romance.. Londres en 1800 que podía perder?... Una historia romántica de esas que me gustan de vez en cuando, sin mucha complicaciones..
Definitivamente hay peores cosas que pasar un día y medio leyendo un libro romántico.. es como ir a ver una película que sabes que no cambiará tu vida pero te mantendrá entretenida...

I really loved this book. It was a lovely light read and I was hooked from beginning to end. Jerrica takes you on a journey of two lovers who were never meant to fall in love, yet fate intervenes and unfolds a beautiful love story.
I suggest reading this one and then reading The bedeviled bride as it fills in some missing gaps.

Another free ebook! This was decent. I liked that she was a widow and not the typical virginal girl and I enjoyed the fact that he was an identical twin and how that was weaved into the store. I felt like some loose ends were left unresolved, especially Lizzie and Michael and how their marriage ended up.
The writing lacked depth but the action and pace were good. It was easy to get into the characters and the plot. My main problem was the 180's the characters did, too fast and too inconsistently, which caused some disruption and confusion. Necessary for the plot, I guess, but not very believable.
I liked it well enough to keep it on my Kindle. It's nothing fancy, but it's worth my time. :-)
Pros-
Liked the characters enough to care about what they went through.
Decently hot love scenes.
Cute epilogue.
Cons-
The plot was predictible.
Not enough love scenes.
I couldn't envision what the characters looked like, which was a hinderance.

I really enjoyed this one. Chloe was a great character, and the story was a good one. There was enough depth and development to keep it from being fluff, but enough fluff to keep it light. I wouldn't mind finding michaels story. It sounded very interesting.

Quick, entertaining read. This is one of those stories we "need" to read every once in a while. Shorty, with a good flow. Something to read on a rainy day, a long week-end, or one of those days, which we all have, when you simply want to relax and enjoy...
I wasn't sure that I'd like this book, but I actually really did... The characters seemed rather genuine with each other (while maybe not so much with others at times)... It really was quite good, and I think it is one I will likely read again...
I enjoyed. The story was witty. The situation became complicated then scandulous...loved it. I usually don't start the middle of a series, but I will catch the first two books. I honestly could not put down the book. A well thought outf story indeed.
This simple little Regency romance was an enjoyable way to spend a long day of airports and plane rides. Nothing special, but the identical twin aspect made it interesting; I may even read the follow-up volume.
The ebook version I got from Barnes and Noble did not play nicely with my Nook. There were various issues of, I don't know, programming, I guess? that made it difficult to turn from one page to the next.
I honestly enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It is an easy read, excites you with every twist, and keeps up the historical side of it . I couldn't stop reading it!
