A sweet and clean read about childhood friends and their friendships. In this story we have Phillip and Honoria who must fight ag the late prejudices of her father towards his family before the get their hea

Romance, sweet, period; series but stand alone Honoraria and Phil's story was sweetly told. Honest, caring, characters, strong supporting characters, and fun setting. Loved the tender moments between Honoria and Phil as the story is told from alternating points of view. Sweet fall, and lovely novel. Plus are the fun vocabulary nuggets that JG includes.

A lovely story that grabbed me with the first step of the hero down his staircase. Both the hero and heroine have known each other as childhood friends and start off with these notions. They also have a struggle with preconceived ideas. The hero due to a father’s legacy and death. The heroine with her ideal of a spouse. When they are aware of changes in themselves they work together to try and stay together. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. And I loved the cover!

Clean and refreshing story, I think the epilogue could of been about the wedding ceremony included, nevertheless I totally enjoyed the whole book

I enjoyed the book, however the first page of each chapter did not show up as a printed pave, it was plain whites. I was able to listen to it with text to speech feature

I like the the easy style of this romance. There are a few interesting moments and the typical dangers overcome but very sweet

I enjoyed this friends-to-more/forbidden romance story. The romance was developed in sweet way, and I really liked the hero and heroine. I quickly sympathized with Philip. He had lost his father and was stuck paying for his father's mistakes, both on the estate and with his neighbor. Still, he was hard-working, fair, and kind, and he appreciated Honoria's talents. I felt for Honoria too, as she was cruelly forced to realize the foolishness of a long-cherished dream. I appreciated how she too was kind and how she made an effort to get along with others, even when it was challenging. I also liked the way she treated her father with respect, even when he wasn't being fair. I also liked the secondary characters, and I look forward to reading more in this series. I recommend this book to anyone who like Regency and/or sweet romance.

A simple but rewarding story. If you like stories that make you feel light hearted, one that is predictable but still romantic this is a story for you.

A sweet extremely well written tale of love, friendship, and faith. Without all the normal gimmicks so often used in boilerplate historical romance novels, this book kept you turning the pages in anticipation. Anticipation well rewarded!

Wow what a great story this one is! I couldn't put it down until I had finished it! So delightful and true to life in the characters and area so much so that you feel like you are there with the sights and sounds of the story. I can't wait for the next one in this series!

Adorable characters and a sweet story! It had a bit of the style of Jane Austen's world. Would definitely recommend.

Jennie Goutet writes with skill. Her characters seem genuine and have depth and the tone of this book is calm and steady. No nail biting, temper tantrums, evil and conniving women, plotting and overbearing rakehell dukes and not even a kidnapping or forced marriage, no overly detailed sex scenes. And yet, it is a romantic story that entertains in its subtle and more realistic manner. The setting is well researched, the characters come to life, and the reader finishes with a glimpse into another time.

This book just made me happy reading it. Phillip was so kind and swoon worthy and I loved Honoria and her sweet ways. Their romance was so good, I also loved all the secondary characters. I hope Christine’s story is next.

Her characters are wonderfully complex and come alive in such a way as to make me feel as if they are my neighbors next door. I have greatly enjoyed the well written action and wit of her books.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a lovely book, with a lovely story, with lovely characters. There were challenges and struggles that were creatively intertwined in the pages of this book. I encourage you to read this sweet story and learn about these brave characters.
