I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review. Short and sweet and not her best, but it will do in a pinch 3.5 rounded up

This is the perfect novella to dive into if you want something short and sweet that packs on the steam. Despite the length, Jess Michaels gives us complex characters that are entertaining and thoughtful. There are even some unexpected twist and turns along the way and of course, the perfect amount of sensuality and steam. This is a great start to this series and I’m looking forward to more.

This novella is a great start to what looks to be another fabulous series by Jess Michaels. While brief, it packed plenty of anxiety for me. Anxiety that kept me turning the pages. Sometimes, I just wanted to step into the story, give everyone a shake, and settle all the misunderstandings between them. While I understood Colin’s pain, he could have saved himself a lot of stress had he just communicated. But he’d been raised to keep it all inside and he had trusted the wrong person. I admired Jane for giving him another chance and for voicing her anger. Theirs had started as an arrangement and then grown into attraction. Jane’s “betrayal” though occurred before they really knew each other like couples should. Had they known each other better, I think it would have all played out differently. The love scenes were steamy and definitely showed their physical desire for one another but would that be enough to repair the damage between them? Only getting to know each other and building trust could accomplish that. Though short, the story moves at a fast pace and keeps readers engaged and anxious to see Jane and Colin work everything out. It’s a lovely story with twists and turns and even a little danger. I’m excited for this new series and anxious to read what’s next. Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this book.

it was shorter than i thought it would be but really enjoyed it. I always like stories whenpeople are having two conversations but think they are talking about the same thing. so heart wrenchign to read but beautifully told.

The Return of Lady Jane was exactly what I needed right now: short, sweet, and steamy. I read the entire thing lying in bed before I had to get up and bring the kids to school. I loved every page.

Anyone familiar with my reviews already knows that I am not usually a fan of novellas. I find them often rushed. This one was, predictably, very fast paced. It is nearly impossible to build any sort of slow romance in such a short space. That being said, the story is sweet and sexy in all the right ways. It was definitely a Jess Michaels quality standard. I just love every one of her books.

I fell mad in love with Lady Jane. She is a lovely character who showed spunk and backbone. Collin was a sweet little innocent darling. He needed a good slap for the way he treated Lady Jane, but at least he has a good excuse.

Highly recommend this for a quick read.

This is s quick fun read. I felt it lacked a little depth of character and the plot was a little lack lustre. It centres on Viscount Colin Wharton who falls in love and marries Jane. Shortly after their wedding he starts to have doubts of her fidelity and banishes her to his country estate. Viscountess Jane has no idea what hardened her husband's heart to her, but she is trying to make the best of her banishment. When she returns to London, she hopes to simply avoid Colin. But the has other ideas. Together they overcome their doubts and rekindle their love. I received this ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

I received a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The return of lady Jane is a short novella by Jess michaels. Like all novellas the characters were one dimensional and the plot felt rushed. Nonetheless, the relationship between Jane and Colin was sweet as was the entire story. This took no time to read at all.
