Expected 24 Feb 26Embarking on the voyage of a lifetime, will Jane’s heart find safe harbor?
Lady Jane Armstrong has a tendency to plummet into mischief and mayhem, which unfortunately brought about the demise of her engagement to Viscount Charles Sterling. Naturally, to avoid further scandal, this also prompted a visit to Manhattan to meet her American cousins, the Winthrop family. Exiled to Newport to spend the summer with her cousins along the seaside, she’s surrounded by the suffocating wealth of American aristocracy. But Jane doesn’t care about the approval of high society. She is bound and determined to return to England and win Charles back, even if it means orchestrating chaos until her aunt and uncle send her packing. But she must admit, there’s something different about Henry.
Henry Warrington commands an empire of steel and saltwater—heir to a shipping dynasty whose vessels dominate every harbor from New York to London. With his father’s ultimatum hanging over him like a guillotine—secure a bride by summer’s end or lose everything—Henry finds himself inexplicably drawn to the wild English rose leaving destruction in her wake. However, with her knack for getting into trouble, and Jane’s aunt commissioning an obsessive, lunatic artist to paint Jane’s portrait, can he manage to keep her safe and win her hand? Or will things spiral beyond his control?

Review of advance copy received from Author
Unpretentious Lady Jane is a delightful Gilded Age read with a pleasing blend of humor, suspense, romance, and faith. It follows the adventures of a spirited and trouble-prone heroine torn between reclaiming her old life and in England and navigating her new life in America. The plot progresses at a steady pace and kept me reading quickly to find out what happened next. The characters are vividly drawn and engaging. I especially appreciate the strong, uplifting faith thread. I think fans of Christian historical romance will enjoy this entertaining, inspiring read.

This is my voluntary review of a copy I was given.
What a great story!
The story has a really strong Christian theme... really, really strong. Faith and forgiveness are emphasized.
It starts off with a really sweet, supportive group of characters, but then the drama starts. Not the angsty kind of drama, but the “something isn't right” kind.
I appreciate that the characters respect the God-given order of things. The men see to the comfort and safety of the women, and the women, though strong and capable, allow the men to treat them like the valuable treasures they are. And they all defer to their parents.

I received this book with no expectation of a positive review. I love this story of Lady Jane. It all comes down to finding your tribe. Lady Jane's mom who was an American married a statesman from England. Her parents had died within weeks of each other. Her guardian was her Aunt Lillian.
Lady Jane had a way of finding herself in scandels in England. Aunt Lillian had had enough. She was sending her to America to live with her aunt and uncle on her mother's side. Lady Jane found a new family and community that she never dreamed. This is a wonderful story of starting over and finding where you actually belong.

Lady Jane has a huge tendency to get herself into mischief. Because of that, her aunt, who is her guardian, decides to send her to live with relatives in America. Lady Jane decided to cause more mischief so the American relatives would send her back to England so she could win her former fiance back. But, things didn't work like she planned. This book is really entertaining and I enjoyed it immensely. Ms Prysock is so good at giving details so you feel you are right there. I highly recommend it.
I was given a copy of the book by the author, but this review is my own opinion.

This story will evoke emotions long buried, feelings long sequestered and hope long buried as you walk alongside Lady Jane who experiences love lost, a world turned upside down, English to American culture and pretty much anything, or should I say, everything, a prim and proper (with a penchant for mishaps) young lady could undergo. A fun, entertaining, inspiring work, always directing the reader to life’s answer, God, the creator of all mankind!
