The Northern Lady

by Anna Jacobs

When beautiful Cassandra Trent is told that she must join her aunt in London, the twenty-year-old is full of rage. Brought up in the Northern town of Bardsley, she wants nothing to do with polite society. But Cassandra forms a close relationship with her gentle cousin Susannah, a victim of her mother's pushy, ambitious nature. Susannah, petrified of marrying the charming, wealthy Simeon Giffard, enlists Cassie's help. It is, after all, Cassie for whom Simeon holds a torch, and he appears set on winning the heart of this strong-willed Northern lady… From bestseller Anna Jacobs, this emotional historical saga is perfect for fans of Kitty Neale, Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin.

The best

As always nothing can beat Anna. She rocks. Brings the true emotions of every character. It is actually like visualizing everything right in front of you..you just have to read her books to experience the feel. Worst can't fill.

I picked this up hoping for a comforting regency romance. It was ok, but I was not as wowed by it as I had hoped. I have heard good things of Anna Jacobs books so I will try another, but this one didn’t draw me in. The cover art was beautiful though!

The Northern Lady

I did enjoy this book I loved Cassie she was great but Simeon was too weak kneed where his mother was concerned, I also thought as the story ended so abruptly that an epilogue would have been lovely.

It was ok, love the relationship between the two young ladies. Just got boring and dry in places or repeating the same thing a few times. Overall a enjoyable read just it could have been a bit shorter

[Stephanie Fletcher · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a sweet story, a cleaner version of Bridgerton. The only thing I don't like is how fast it moved and how the viewpoint seem to shift from one character to the next so much. It was an easy read though, and a very predictable story.

[Amy Doolan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy read but I didn’t care much for the male love interest. Normally in these sorts of stories I fall head over heels but this time was a bit meh

[Valerie McGurk · Rating 5 out of 5]

A heart warming historical read which made me smile at times as one woman fights for what she believes in.
