A Spring Deception
Miss Celia Fitzgilbert’s grandfather has decreed she must marry a man with a title or he’ll never reveal her mysterious father’s identity. But her engagement to an Earl was already broken, leaving her steeped in scandal. She has all but given up until the reclusive Duke of Clairemont returns to Society and sweeps her off her feet, a potential solution to all her problems.
But things are not so simple for the duke. Aiden is not comfortable with his position in Society, perhaps because he is a fraud. In truth, Clairemont died months ago and the man playing him is a spy, bent on uncovering a dangerous secret. A flirtation with Celia, meant to help him fit in, quickly turns very real. But can Celia recover when the lies come out? Ad can Aiden keep them both alive long enough to even consider a future?

One Summer of Surrender
Lucien, the Earl of Stenfax has been engaged twice, but only in love once. That was with his childhood sweetheart, Elise. When she threw him over for a man with more money and a higher ranking title, it broke him. Now she's widowed and he finds himself drawn to her again, like a moth to her flame.
Elise had her reasons for walking away from Lucien, reasons he doesn't understand. Back in Society, she's now financially desperate and is even considering becoming someone's mistress. But Lucien keeps appearing at the most inopportune moments and it's only a matter of time before the desire between them explodes.
Time will tell if Lucien will be able to see past his lusty drive for revenge. And if Elise can convince him she's worthy of more, despite the past.
Length: Full-length novel
Sensuality level: Hot and steamy
Adored in Autumn
Viscountess Felicity Barbridge escaped a violent marriage with her life because she was willing to make desperate choices. Now those choices are back to haunt her, as is the object of her girlhood obsession, Asher Seyton.
Asher was never anything more than a servant’s son, but he’s elevated himself through an education and is now a respected solicitor. He only returns to his childhood home to help with a financial issue, but when he realizes Felicity is being threatened, he’s driven to stay and help. Even if he must now face all the feelings for her he tried to repress over the years.
Will Felicity be able to trust Asher enough to share more than passion? And will Asher’s own secrets unravel all they’ve built?
Length: Full-Length
Heat Level: Intensely passionate

Idk if my interest just wasn't there or thr writing style has changed
Overall this is a good complete bundle that gives you what you want and delivers characters you root for. The blurb is intriguing, cover is gorgeous, and everyone gets a HEA. That being said I should love this bundle. I should have finished it in the 6hrs my reading speed predicted when I first started the book. I started this is Feb 2022 and finished it May 2022. I had several hours each week to do nothing but read and something else held my interest more. Rosalinde and Gray's story was the best and easiest to get through most of it. Celia and Dane I wasn't really invested in them but I enjoyed the journey. The last two books were both hard for me to read since they are second chance books (not my favorite romance subgenre). There's alot of repetitive thinking and circular conversations that just frustrate me cuz I know they end up together so why don't the characters stop being stubborn about it and get together already. But like I said it was so hard for me to read this bundle fast like I normally do and it might be mood related but I just never felt the urge to read it because of the story, it was more so that I could say I finished it finally. Still love Jess's work and not letting it make me wary of her new books.

An Affair in Winter 3.5 stars
One stolen night between strangers becomes awkward when they meet again the next day at their siblings get together pre wedding, then angsty when they become suspicious of each thers motives, then sweet...because romance.
A Spring Deception 3 stars
This was a sweet spy story but the characters weren't as interesting as book 1
One Summer of Surrender 3.5 stars
This was a sweet second chance romance, which isn't my favorite trope.
Adored in Autumn 3.5 stars TW: Abuse
Another second chance romance, with a slightly more believable(for me)situation that was incredibly sweet. The over arcing plot of the series was interesting but one of the plot twists was obvious from almost the beginning of this book.
Overall the steam was good but a bit bland

A fabulous series!
All four of these books are fantastic. The interweaving characters and stories make for hard-to-put-down reading! I like that the women find their own inner strength, and that the men do whatever it takes to take care of their women. This, THIS is what a historical romance series should be!

Great stories.
Interesting under-story line connecting them. I enjoyed all 4 books and the love stories were lovely, if filled with misunderstanding and the characters' personal insecurites. The sex was steamy and fairly graphic, but I didn't find it too much or gratuitous. Enjoyed the books, the characters, and the satisfying resolution.

A surprising but wonderful ending!
This 4-book series has been very satisfying to read. A very romantic set of stories, with a thread of mystery running through them. Well-formed characters, painful plots, deception, fear, and love. Finally, love. Whew! I thoroughly enjoyed all of the books. Highly recommended!

Ups and downs
I liked best the first and the last stories. The other two had ups and downs. Sometimes they're too mellow and repetitive. But, the're entertaining.
