This Regency romance centers around Jessamine. When she is orphaned at 15, she learns that her father left her nothing. All his estate goes to his brother and his family, who treat her abominably and eventually send her away a few years later to be a governess even though she is a lady. When she meets Dallas, an earl, they feel the spark. But life seems determined to keep them apart with lots of twists and turns from the shocking past they know nothing about. This was a fun book to read. This author always weaves great stories that are full of awesome characters and intriguing plots and backstories. This one was no different. I had a hard time putting it down once I started.

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.

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.

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.

Of you love books that leave you in suspense until the very end, you'll love this one. If you read the last chapter first, you'll have missed out on the wonderful weaving of a plot that deserves to reveal itself as written. Full of good behavior and kindness in equal parts with meanness and evil, sweet tempered Jessamine is faced with repeated hardships, while rising to meet the challenges with a very strong sense of right and wrong.
A really wonderful book I highly recommend.

A wonderful clean, historical, romance novel during the Edwardian Era. Jessamine Foster found herself alone after her parents died when she could not get along with her relatives, she was forced to find employment. Jessamine was employed as a companion to Amelia, the sister to Lord Dallas Marsden, the seventh Earl of Kirkendale.

The story gives us a glance into England's Society during that time period. Jessamine, Amelia, and Lord Dallas was someone to behold. The characters and plot was well defined with great emotions and the novel is very well written. I enjoyed the story, wished it had not ended so quickly. I recommend this book to everyone, a fast paced, good, clean historical romance novel.

Enjoyed the story very much, I love the simple stories that I can't put down and have to finish before doing anything else.

Good read.
