Her Country Gentleman (Timeless Georgian Collection #1) by Sian Ann Bessey, Sarah M. Eden, & Rebecca Connolly

Book Summary:

London is not the only place to find love . . .

SPRING AT TRIBBLEY HALL by Sian Ann Bessey
When Charlotte's grandmother invites her to accompany her to Norfolk, Charlotte jumps at the chance to visit the sea and escape the fuss surrounding her sister's wedding preparations in London. Lord William Cheston, on the other hand, is most unhappy when his mother informs him that her old friend and a granddaughter are coming to stay. Not only is it lambing season, but he's also dealing with the mysterious loss of several sheep. The last thing he needs is a child underfoot. When Charlotte and William first meet, he does not realize that the lovely young lady is the granddaughter in question, and she assumes that the man dressed in work clothes in the barn is a servant. Soon afterward, however, Charlotte stumbles upon a clue to William's sheep's disappearance, and when her life is placed in jeopardy, William is forced to choose between saving his unwanted houseguest and catching the thief.

LOVE OF MY HEART by Sarah M. Eden
Cordelia Wakefield has never lived anywhere but London and is not overly happy when her family is forced to retrench to a small estate near Teviotbrae, Scotland. An ill-fated game of battledore and shuttlecock brings her face-to-racquet with Sebastian, who runs the home farm at nearby Teviot Castle. What begins as a clash of personalities, expectations, and preferences, soon leads to a friendship neither had expected. As the magic of Teviotbrae weaves its spell, the possibility of something more than friendship begins to blossom. But what future is there for a lowly farmer and a London lady?


MISS SMITH GOES TO WILTSHIRE by Rebecca Connolly
Martha Smith wants to marry for love, and will not be persuaded otherwise. She is highly sought after in Society for her beauty and status, but refuses to consider any suitor whose only claim is that his prospects meet with her mother's approval. Her widowed mother has had enough of Martha's romantic sensibilities, and is sending her to stay with unfortunate cousins in Wiltshire to show her that marrying for love is a risk that is too great.
Benjamin Steele, Lord Hillier, is working on his new and dilapidated estate when he first catches sight of the striking Martha Smith. Becoming Lord Hillier has only brought him a house that needs significant repairs, tenant farms that had been abandoned, and only the money he'd already possessed. He wants meaning in his life, and he's more than willing to work for it.
Though worlds apart in all else, on this point they can agree: a life of meaning would change everything.

My Review:

I absolutely loved this collection of Georgian romance novellas! Each one had its own unique story but all the tie in of being in the country. This novellas had me longing for spring, clean, fresh air, and wide open spaces. Spring at Trimbley Hall grabbed me from the first sentence and held my attention all the way through. I loved how Charlotte and William met, it was so funny and memorable! The mystery surrounding the missing sheep was the perfect element to make the story unputdownable! In Love of My Heart, I fell in love with Scotland! Eden really took the reader straight to the Scottish countryside and I loved every minute of it. Sebastian and Cordelia had a brutal first meeting and I didn't have much hope for them to ever see eye to eye. The slow build relationship was beautiful and I really enjoyed watching it all unfold. The painting part was a wonderful touch and it was delightful to see how it played a part of the story. Miss Smith Goes to Wiltshire was an absolute delight to read! Martha was a breath of fresh air and she made me want to go to the country and take a ride. Her view of life was a breath of fresh air! Benji was an unusual earl, working his own land, and trying to save a dilapidated estate. I wasn't sure how this one would work out and it kept me on my toes. Each novella was a breath of fresh air and I loved each and every story. I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
