I'm so thankful I got approved for this ARC, because it was there at a time when I really needed the comfort it provided.
A Lady Would Know Better is, at its heart, a story about people learning to live with grief and find the light on the other side.
Jane, even when she has no memory of her past, is strong and full of conviction. Jasper, on the other hand, has let grief consume him so fully that he's lost himself. Watching these two challenge each other at every turn while falling in love was wonderful. The plot also had enough twists and turns to keep me reading for hours. The rest of the characters were wonderful, and I would absolutely love to see more of them in the future, along with updates about the endeavor the women embark on at the end of the book.
I can't recommend this book enough to historical romance fans. It's witty, engaging, and full of heart.

Thank you to Entangled publishing and Netgalley for the ARC.

I imagine many of us feel like Jasper after a worldwide pandemic, we’re feeling loss, grief, and are figuring out how to move on. A connection I unexpectedly made while reading ‘A Lady Would Know Better’.

At times ‘A Lady Would Know Better’ was like a Julia Quinn or Evie Dunmore read. But, hear me out. Initially this book had me hooked, a big family, a grand house at Christmas time, a mysterious heroine who’s suffering from amnesia. It was all set up, but it just kind of plateaued. The twists needed to come in sooner. I kind of wanted to take parts of the story and move it around.

Yes, the story progressed, but sometimes took steps backwards with the push and pull of Jane and Jasper. I understand the need to build tension but for me there wasn’t a ‘zing’ or ‘spark’. I enjoyed the mystery of finding the real identity of Jane/Hetty and it’s a solid read. I know readers will eagerly be waiting for each of the Maycott siblings to get their own books (Helena’s book is going to be fabulous, I know it).

Overall, I’ll give this three 3.5 stars. Thank you Entangled Publishing for providing the ARC.

If you enjoy period dramas or historical romance I think this book is going to be a great fit for you!

The author incorporated some of my favorite tropes and crafted a really interesting and enjoyable storyline. The plot was cute, sweet, emotional and at times definitely kept me guessing.

I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

Thank you Emma Theriault, Net Galley and Entangled Publishing LLC for providing me with an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing for gifting me with an E-ARC of this sweet romance novel. It most certainly is swoon worthy and I enjoyed each character! This was just the HEA I needed to snuggle up by the fire with. There is the feeling that more stories could evolve from all the different characters, Viola and Izzie captured my heart!

4.25 stars

Binged this rather quickly. I enjoyed the story, especially the MMC's family. The side characters were definitely where this book shone. Plus, bonus kitten.

Recommended.

Adorable book that wrestles with heavy topics (grief and treatment of women) in a low stakes setting. I love the portrayal of a head injury/amnesia, the found family aspect was well done, and the romance was sweet.

The family's Bridgerton-like dynamic has me suspecting (and hoping!) that we will get other stories for the other siblings soon... looking forward to it!

I enjoyed this book overall. I did feel the first half was a bit repetitive with the back and forth between the FMC and MMC but I really enjoyed the mystery aspect and the last half of the book was great. My favorite characters were Viola and Adelaide. Overall, a sweet love story.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing for this ARC! I couldn’t put it down and finished in one session!

What a sweet historical romance! An unexpected romance begins between a grumpy Earl who has had more than his fair share of loss and Jane, a woman found in the woods unconscious and without any of her memories. This was a journey through grief, love, found family with a touch of mystery, Jane Austen references set in the regency era.

I truly felt for the characters and loved seeing the emotional growth for each of them. I hope we will get a sequel potentially focusing on a different sibling. There is still so much to explore in this world and I’m not too sure I want to be done with “Jane” and Jasper!

This book was so good….that I finished it in one reading session. It’s a sweet historical romance that has quite a few twists and turns. A grumpy Earl meets a woman, Jane, unconscious without any memories. There’s so many references to Jane Austen and common tropes are love and found family.

Seeing the emotional growth of the characters was honestly what got me. I’d love to see more books by Emma that explore this world!

Thank you netgalley and entangled publishing for the arc! I really enjoyed reading this sweet historical romance book! It was a little bit of a romance mystery style and was overall a very sweet read. Set during the winter time, was a perfect book for the start of the chilly season!
