I loved this novella collection! Each story was so different and unique, but each was lovely. The connecting theme is love growing out of friendship set in my favorite season of autumn.
The Plucky Miss Ruth by Laura Rollins is a creative take on a time loop much like the Groundhog Day movie. Every day, Ruth Hughes feels stuck in the same repeating routine. Each day she tries to figure out a new way to break the cycle. Her routine is somewhat disrupted when she bumps into Lord Harvey Lambert and the two quickly reacquaint themselves. They conspire to help Ruth’s cousin Nettie reconnect with a former love believing that if they can get them back together, the time loop will be broken. I loved the fun way these two plotted together to help Nettie, and how their relationship grows from friendship and mutual admiration. Their second kiss was my favorite.
Mr. Dowling’s Remedy by Annette Lyon is an amazing heart-wrenching romance between two people unfairly sent to an asylum. Beverly Stanton’s step-father wants her out of the way. She’s too intelligent for his liking and stands in the way of his financial plans. Crandall Dowling is a former medical student most likely suffering from Tourette Syndrome who’s demonized and thought of as evil. They become fast friends working to find a way out of the asylum. But when a tragic event occurs, both realize how much they’ve come to care for one another. I loved this romance. Though the setting is bleak and highlights the injustices of Victorian asylums, the story is ultimately hopeful and beautiful.
A Railway Through the Roses by Lisa H. Catmull is an enjoyable story of childhood friends finally seeing each other in a new light. Adrian Everard’s father has given him an ultimatum to marry. He must quickly find a wealthy wife to save the factory which supports many in their small Langton Village and convince his childhood friend, Lady Anne Baxter to allow him to build a railroad on her property. Anne has secretly wanted Adrian to see her as more than a business partner/friend for six years. Ever since her parents died, Adrian has been the one to comfort and support her. Anne decides to do everything to warn off his potential fiancés. Though she hates change, she must ultimately choose whether to sacrifice for the village while Adrian marries another, or fight for her home and Adrian. I loved the various scenes where these two wind up alone together and the teasing nature of their relationship. Their kiss in the boat was my favorite. *sigh*
It’s hard to decide which of these three I liked best because they were all so well written, romantic, and different. It’s a great collection that made me want to read more of each author’s works. Highly recommend to fans of clean Victorian romances. I received an advanced complimentary copy through AustenProse PR.
