“Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.” – Samuel Johnson

After her estate is entailed away, Jessamine Foster has no choice but to live with relatives who detest her. When her aunt gives her an ultimatum to leave, Jessamine accepts a position as companion to Lord Kirkendale’s sister—even though she’s been warned her predecessors can’t seem to resist the earl’s exceptional good looks. Can Jessamine manage to hold onto her job without losing her heart?

To honor a promise made to his dying father, Lord Kirkendale agrees to an arranged marriage to a woman he cannot love. Although he is resigned to a life without sentiment, the arrival of his sister’s new companion awakens a slumbering passion. Can he find a way to secure his own happiness without sacrificing his family’s honor, or will his broken promise result in the ruination of the person he loves most?

A hopelessly romantic, blush-free Edwardian-era romance!

Terrific read.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I just wish that it had been longer. I was so surprised when the opening scene was a funeral. That was a first for me. In a way it is a Cinderella story. Orphaned girl treated treated terribly and forced to live in the attics (third floor, actually), meets handsome prince (Earl in this case), defeats the wicked stepmother (Aunt and cousin) and lives happily ever after. But it is written in such a charming and witty manner, with twists and turns to keep your interest all the way. The epilogue was one of the best that I have ever read. Suzanne Rogers has a new fan!

I do have one question, though. The cover of the book is beautiful but it caused me to pass this book over several times. I have a pet peeve for historical heroines wearing prom-type dresses. I have looked on several websites and cannot find a dress like this one. Low cut dresses were fashionable for evening but I can't find any that are strapless. The dress was worn first by the heroine's mother (1880ish by my estimation) and recreated for her in the early 1900s. Were there actually strapless dresses at this time? This inquiring mind wants to know.

Readers will not find any language or sexual situations to offend them.

Good always wins over evil. Great flow to the book. Loved all the description of the time period. Will look for another book by this author. Reading her style is like sitting escaping life's problems for a short time.

Rural Reader

Take an enjoyable walk in Edwardian England

June 8, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Jessamine's Folly by Suzanne G. Rogers is a very clean but truly entertaining Edwardian period romance. Ms. Rogers gives the reader an interesting glimpse in life in that period as she slowly but steadily weaves a captivating tale of love, loss, betrayal, greed, loyalty, friendship and love. In other words, human nature. Customs may change, but people and their motives don't.

I really like Ms. Rogers' writing and this work does not disappoint. In the face of challenges that would destroy most people, Jessamine keeps moving through twists and turns toward an unknown future with dignity, grace and spunk. Thankfully, she is not a whiner. As with most fiction, I had to suspend some sense of reality, but not too much.

This is a great read for a rainy day and is easy to finish in one day.

A great find!

A delightful read with Cinderella influences. It's always a pleasure to find an author that doesn't pepper the story with profanity or needless sex scenes. This story is a G read. Hurray!

It's also nice to read a proofed and edited novel, professionally done. A+

My only confusion is, what is the time period? She talked about electric lights which would place it early to mid 1900's but it reads like a regency era novel. The references to electricity kept jerking me out of my era. Maybe I just didn't place the book in the right century. It's for certain the cover isn't regency era!

Sex: none, mild kissing
Profanity: none
Violence: none
Objectionable content: discussion of prostitution.

Well worth the time

October 22, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This well-written tale interested me in part because it is set at the beginning of the 20th century and included some of the technological changes that were revolutionizing the world at that time, including automobiles, telephones, and more. These reminders were woven into the story appropriately, while reminding the reader that what amazes us today will be taken for granted by tomorrow's generation.

Probably more important to the casual reader, the characters were well drawn and the story, while slightly overdrawn, was engaging and generally believable. The chief villainess reminded me very much of a particular member of my family, and I enjoyed seeing her receive her comeuppance in a book, at least.

More than a 5!

This is not the first book I've read by Ms Rogers and it won't be the last. I loved the romance, hated the fosters and Hightowers. It is a shame how nasty the "good" people and how good supposedly (bad) people can be! When an author can make a reader cry, love, hate, wonder what's going to happen next, how the author can resolve situations etc when you're away from the story that writer is top notch. This was excellent! Read this if you enjoy romance and plots that twist and turn.

What Goes Around....

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is an entertaining story, eliciting feelings of anger, sympathy, sorrowfrustration, joy....And back around again! Jessamine is such a lovely young woman that you find yourself absolutely wanting to fight for her to achieve the happiness she deserves in life. To have the good fortune to find herself in the employ of Earl Dallas Kirkendale as companion to his younger sister, Amelie gives hope that her life will right itself. Awwww, but things don't always go as we think they should.
The epilogue is priceless!!!! We should each be reminded that we should. "do unto others...". Loved this story!!!

As an avid reader, it is not very often I am surprised by story lines and twists. S.G. Rogers delivers a wonderful story full of unexpected turns. This is a delightful read, and one I had difficulty putting down. I will look for more work by this author.
