ABOUT THE BOOK
Rebecca Jennings's first London Season has been absolutely ruined, and one personal alone is responsible: Mr. Ben Fortescue. If her new neighbor hadn't startled her, she would never have broken her ankle, leaving her bored and frustrated at home in the country while her sister enters the London Season alone. Although, it was rather gallant of him to carry her home... For his part, Ben feels terrible about the role he played in Miss Rebecca Jennings's accident. In the days that follow their first disastrous meeting, he finds himself inexorably drawn to the surprising young woman—first out of guilt and then out of a stirring affection. But Ben hides a secret: he has not been completely forthright about his identity or about the dark secrets of his past that would make it impossible for romance to blossom with Miss Jennings. Despite his love for her, he knows he must let her go. With her ankle finally healed but her heart now broken, Rebecca is left with little choice but to throw herself into the Season. With eligible men circling this late addition to the Marriage Mat, it seems that Rebecca will have no shortage of suitors. If only her heart were free to give.
REVIEW
An Accidental Romance returns readers to the delightful Jennings family with eight children. Rebecca Jennings is the youngest child and is eagerly anticipating her first London Season. After injuring her ankle when her new neighbor Mr. Benjamin Fortescue startles her, Rebecca's well-laid plans are ruined. In an effort to make up for his error, Mr. Fortescue starts visiting Rebecca almost daily. As they get to know each other, their feelings for each other grow into something beyond friendship. But Ben carries some heartache that leaves him reluctant to trust Rebecca's feelings, not to mention the guilt he feels for causing her injury in the first place. When the opportunity to go to London reappears, Ben encourages Rebecca to go even though she's reluctant to leave him. Can their relationship survive Ben's past and Rebecca's new present circumstances? Or will a handsome new suitor change things for both of them?
Karen Tuft's delightful romance kept me engrossed from beginning to end. Rebecca and Ben both make for sympathetic characters that I quickly grew to love. And my heart felt for them as they faced struggles related to Ben's past experiences. The scenes with the children were especially enjoyable. And it was fun to read about other members of the Jennings clan whose stories have been previously shared. The character development is superb and I enjoyed following the developing relationships between all the various characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this latest volume in the Jennings Family series and look forward to the possibility of more to come.
