About the author

Jeanne Savery has lived and travelled in Great Britain with her spouse, an American Professor of British Politics. An American herself, she is descended from the English (via her father) and the Scots (via her mother).

She first read the Regency Romances of Georgette Heyer while living in Sidcup, Kent. She reread them while living in Whitstable, Kent. The dialogue was charming, but the detail was forbidding: No mistakes! That's the watchword.

For library research, she amassed (and read) a library of diaries, letters, memoirs, yearbooks, etc., from the era. For field research, she (and her spouse) repeatedly crisscrossed the island of Great Britain. Their two daughters fondly recall a family jaunt (with bed and breakfast) in August, 1973: London to Pembroke to Chester to Carlisle to Stirling to Edinburgh to Hawick ... to London.

She published her first Regency Romance in 1991. Since then, she has published more numerous novels and novellas.

She has received the Reader's Choice Award and been awarded the Holt Medallion. She is a member of Novelists, Inc. and Romance Writers of America.

[Eden · Rating 5 out of 5]

2019 bk 149. White Tiger Series #5. Jean Savery does it again. It is Lord Alex Merwin's turn at finally finding love, well, he already had found it - around book 1. The problem is that he is a Tory and his beloved's Father is a NOT. Artemisia's father is the epitomy of a narrow minded man with a very short attention span in the moment, and long term in resentment. With the subtle aid of her mother and other friends, including a certain white tiger named Sahib, all turns out well. In between there is an encounter with Napoleon, a woman bent on making Alex her next husband, and all the glitz of the Austrian Peace Settlements. A fun read and a good time seeing the Six together again.

This story was too long and often a bit boring. And if you can stomach the idea of a magical tiger that solves everyone's love/relationship problems, you are of stronger stomach than me! I finished this book as I generally do, but will NOT read it again in the future!
