I loved Inspired by Grace by Jeanna Ellsworth! I found this sweet regency romance to be delightful! The story flowed nicely and kept me engaged!
As children, Gavin and Grace were the best of friends. They spent many of their summer days together, and when apart they would secretly exchange letters with the help of Gavin’s sister. But that all came to an abrupt end when the letters stopped, and Grace moved away. Both Grace and Gavin felt abandon by the other.
Ten years have passed, and Grace is back in London for the season. It's the hope of her sisters (now that her parents are gone) that she find a good match. Walking down the street Grace and Gavin, now the Duke of Huntsman, literally collide with each other in front of Gavin’s London home.
After finding out that Grace’s mother passed away three years earlier, Gavin’s mother offers to sponsor her, and the Duchess is determined to find Grace a husband. She also would like to find a wife for Gavin.
I adored watching Gavin and Grace as they renew their friendship. They certainly have more than a few misunderstandings to work through.
I found it amusing that Gavin had read Persuasion by Jane Austen, and he encourages Grace to read it, hoping she would see something similar to their situation.
I truly enjoyed Inspired by Grace! It’s definitely one of my favorites by Jeanna Ellsworth. Well done!

ReplyDeleteHi, Meredith! Oh, yes, Jeanna did! Not only did I like Gavin and Grace, but I also loved Silence, too!
DeleteWhat a wonderful review! Thanks for the sweet words! I'm glad it is one of your favorites! I definitely love Silence too....FYI, there is a sequel to Inspired by Grace. I'm 4 chapters into writing it. You said you loved Silence? Well, he gets his Happily ever after too! It is called, Buying the Duke's Silence.
DeleteThanks, Jeanna! Yes, you did a terrific job on this story! Loved it!! Oh! Lol! I was just wondering if you were going to write a story for Silence! Fantastic! :)
DeleteIt does sound good and I like that they were childhood friends and are now reacquainted. The Duchess sounds like she might be up to some matchmaking. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Sophia Rose! It was good! Haha, the Duchess just might be! ;)
