Loving the Reluctant Viscount
This was a nice story with a few twists and turns. Allan and Janelle have an immediate attraction. It blossoms quickly but there are dark corners that need to be dealt with. Enjoyable and easy read.

TERRIFIC!
This was a good story but I hope there is a story of Emmaline. Also now going back to Shawn's story. Hope it is as GOOD.

Regency Romance: Loving The Reluctant Viscount (The Fairbanks Series - Love & Hearts) (CLEAN Historical Regency Romance) by Jessie Bennett is Book 3 in "The Fairbanks Series -Love & Hearts", but it can be read as a stand alone.
This is the story of Lady Janelle Dowling and Viscount Allan Gray. Lady Janelle is considered on the shelf, she is the only unmarried sister of Elizabeth, Duchess of Worthington. Viscount Allan is visiting from Australia with his sister to further is business interest.
However, there is a nefarious plot to destroy a young couple's love. Will this happen or can the plot be stopped before it's too late? Will a young couple's love be lost forever? Can the mystery of who is behind the theft be found before it's too late?
A bit slow in the beginning but picks up nicely. With a mixture of mystery, intrigue, and romance, Ms. Bennett will once again delight her readers, with her intriguing plot and her engaging characters. Readers will be captivated and held in suspense, as they try to figure how why and who is responsible for the loss of the peace and tranquility at Fairbanks. I nust say, I was a bit shocked and surprised.
Another great Clean Regency Romance by Jessie Bennett! Strongly recommended for fans of Historical Romance, Regency Romance, Clean Historical Regency, stories with extended families, suspense, mystery and romantic intrigue. A must read!

Outstanding reading!
This is the story of Lady Janelle Dowling And Viscount Allan Gray. Janelle is the sister to Elizabeth the Duchess of Worthington whom we met in the first book of this series. For me this author's style of dialogue seems to slow my ability to get started with her stories. But once I am accustomed to this, I am drawn in. This book accomplished this a little quicker this time. Viscount Allan and Janelle become instantly attracted to each other. He and his sister Emiline have arrived from Australia looking for property and to acquire backing for his inventions. Emiline is along because she's a been bit of a problem at home and their father has sent her along in hopes that her brother can straighten her out. Little do they all know that a bigger problem has followed them to Fairbanks.

Regency Romance must read by Jessie Bennett
I love Regency romance books. Author Jessie Bennett did another Amazing story.
I am voluntarily reviewing an ARC.
Viscount Allan Gray is from Australia. He really isn't looking to hard for a wife. He meets Janelle and they feel the connection instantly.
The. Ext day after looking at several properties he asks to show Janelle and get her input.
..I find it really nice when a gentleman gets the opinion of a lady. Especially if he is hoping to marry the lady one day.
I highly recommend this book to anyone.
It moves along. There is no graphic sex so appropriate for all ages.

Another great Regency Romance by Jessie Bennett. She did not disappoint me as this book was great as the others I have read of hers. A little more of Shawn and Elizabeth at Worthington Manor and her sister Janelle. Will Janelle find the love she has been waiting for God to send her or will the man who caught her eye be brought down by his sister who is less than honest? Will the thief be caught that's stealing the valuables and be put away? Romance and a little mystery thrown in makes for an interesting story. You don't want to miss this great book.
I was given an ebook by the author but wasn't required to write a positive review. All thoughts are my own.

Good story but not totally historically correct
The story line is good and interesting, but there are several things that distract from the plot. The conversations are a bit stilted and many don't sound natural. The forms of address are incorrect in many instances and the fashion and customs of the period are not totally correct. This is a good book for young adults, but with the darker undertones I'm not sure I would classify it as a "clean" romance.

Lovely story
I enjoy Ms. Bennett's romances and this one doesn't disappoint. Allen is visiting from Australia and meets the woman he has been waiting for all his life. Will his sister be his downfall? Another wonderful and intriguing romance!
