1813, Near London, England...
A New Life…
Awestruck by the sound of church bells already ringing in his ears, Lt. Harold Harper can’t help but count down the days until his wedding to Lady Annabelle Bamber. Thrilled with the prospect of a life on land beside his long time love, Harold looks forward to one last sail... a celebratory mark for the flagship HMS Swift Sunrise.
An Imperfect Beginning…
From the moment Lady Annabelle set eyes on Willcock, the Captain of the HMS Swift Sunrise, she knew something was amiss. Illogical and prone to extreme punishments were his crew was concerned, Annabelle quickly realizes there is only one explanation. He has gone mad.
A Death That Threatens It All...
But when a fatal accident introduces the Captain into an untimely fate and a shocking truth rises from the deathbed, Harold discovers that what happened was no accident. And he will meet the gallows for the murder in no more than a day. With time running against him and nowhere to run, Harold is forced to face the fact that if he cannot escape the noose, the church booked for the wedding will soon host his funeral.
Can the church bells still ring for Harold and Annabelle?
Or will their beautifully planned life turn out to be nothing but a shattered dream?

Great adventure and interesting characters
It's the first book in the series I have read, but the previous events and connections between people was well explained. I enjoyed the plot and characters very much. The description of the real life on board of a ship was compelling, very far from a heroic and romantic vision. It showed the power the captain had over his men in gruesome details.
I liked all the main male characters, Wesley, Aaron and their friends. They were honorable and loyal. The ladies were very colorful and well written . Annabelle and Lola were smart and courageous, always ready to protect the men they loved.
Highly recommended story with sea battles, betrayals, accusations of murder and sacrifices made out of loyalty. Quite a few twists and surprises, that kept me on the edge of my seat.

True relationships
I really enjoyed the book. I love reading about being on the seas. I know very little about it, so I was frustrated as a reader to realize that there was no way legally to stop the abuse of power from the captain.
It is also different than any series I have read. I am amazed at the unexpected turns of the previous character relationships. I always expect happily ever afters to have the couple be together. It's a reality check to see them be apart so long while the men are at sea. Yet, it works well in the types of relationships that these characters have.
The friendship between all the characters is wonderful to read, especially adding a redemption and new friendship at the end.

This review is from: Saving The Lord's Title (The Regency Renegades - Beauty and Titles) (A Regency Romance Story) (Kindle Edition)
This is a dramatic, eventful and gripping story. Everyone is just about to have their dreams come true when everything goes bad. There is drama on the high seas with a lot of suspense, tension and angst. The twist at the end was really heartbreaking, for everyone involved. I love the group storylines in these books instead of having completely different books, it makes it so much easier, and more fun, to read everyone's stories and how they impact the other characters. These are definitely must adds to your TBR list.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and this is my voluntary and honest opinion of it.

This is such a fun and interesting series. I really like how the male characters, no matter their titles or wealth, all look out for each other. That bond is very much needed in this book. Without each other, some or all may not survive. The female characters are strong and smart, yet uniquely different.
This is not your usual Regency romance with ball gowns and cucumber sandwiches. It's high seas adventures and secrets only a few may know.
This can certainly be read as a stand alone, but it would be so much fun for you to start at the beginning.
I look forward to seeing what Ms. Ashford has planned for the next adventure in this series.

This is one of the best stories by the author. Once I started reading this book, I didn't want to put it down. There was no predicting where the story was going which kept me engaged from start to finish. The story was about a the first official journey of the Navy flagship with dignataries and families aboard. It was supposed to be a peoceful voyage, but a captain who was not in his right mind and an attack by 3 french ships changed that. There's suspense. humor and three best friends and their loved ones. If your looking for a book you can read in one sitting I think you will enjoy this book.

I have been enjoying the series. This book is really focused on the relationship between the three men and really shows just how strong a bond they have. They would risk it all to save each other from harm. The women they love support them wholeheartedly.
The story really went in a surprising direction. I did not expect the ending at all. It does fit the characters.
I recommend you read all the books but you could jump into the series at this point. I am looking forward to reading more about these friends and lovers.

Outstanding
Saving The Lord's Title by Jasmine Ashford is an excellent story. It's a standalone but in a series. It shows the friendship and love the men have for one another on and off ship and what they would do for one another. There relationship with the Ladies they love. I love the characters. I hope to read a few more stories in this series as there is room for them with some of the loose ends. This series pull you in and doesn't let go. Thanks

A sweet story
Although a standalone I recommend reading the first two books in the series. This book is about three friends who serve in the Royal Navy. One is an Irish Earl and another a Lord who has the others stay at his manor on layovers. This the story of their last trip together on a flagship with Notables and their women aboard.

This story had just the right blend of mystery, suspense and romance to whet my literary appetite. Another winner in this continuing series. They just keep getting better and better. And, the cover... GORGEOUS!!!

What starts out as a pleasant cruise on board a brand new flagship, with several dignitaries including Annabelle and Lola.
Turns into more of a nightmare, with a Captain who's mind is not what it should be.
This is a standalone book but I would recommend reading the others in the series to get the most enjoyment.

Four stars
I was thrilled to continue enjoying the adventures of this group of friends. The drama on board the ship was fascinating. I was a little disappointed with the ending as it felt like justice wasn't served.

Wow what a story. The Captain is definitely not a nice person but he has the power on his ship to do as he pleases. Received an ARC and reviewing because I enjoyed the story.

Surprising ending!
Nice and clean.
I enjoyed the 3 separate relationships. The author was able to juggle the 3 story lines. Of the 3 couples.

Very good read
Annabelle and Harold get married Lord Aaron takes a friends place. Ending is a bit of a surprise all of the friends are still together can't wait to see the next adventure. The book shows that true doesn't have to be the traditional man woman in the same house all the time, these characters make it work being apart.
