Rule 1: Be a widow.
Rule 2: Have an impeccable reputation.
Rule 3: Don't fall in love again.
♡ AN HEIR TO SPARE by Rebecca Connolly
Widowhood has changed much for Anna—Lady Lyndham—but an unconventional heir to the estate was not something she had anticipated. Nor had she anticipated that he would have no intention of forcing her out, although he has every right to. And she certainly did not anticipate finding him handsome, charming, and unfailingly generous. But Ned Richards, the new Lord Lyndham, has a world of surprises in store for her, and not anticipating them will become quite the adventure.
♡ THE WIDOW OF LAVENDER COTTAGE by Jen Geigle Johnson
As a widow, Lillian Hunter has never been in love and plans to never marry again, so the rules of the Secret Society of Young Widows suit her just fine. Her days are spent attempting to transform her newly inherited Lavender Cottage into a livable space until Oliver Wentworth shows up, asking for her late husband. Anxious to establish himself as a landed gentry in Somerset, Oliver is none too pleased to discover that a widow lives alone in a tiny run down cottage bordering his new property. The fact that she’s young and attractive only adds frustration to his sense of responsibility over her. And confound her, she challenges his every attempt to help manage her affairs.
♡ A PROMISE FORGOTTEN by Heather B. Moore
Charlotte Ashford never thought she’d marry a vicar, and she never thought she’d find herself widowed with a young child to care for on her own. She certainly never thought she’d return to Somerset to live with her mother again, and Charlotte never thought she’d see him again. But Lord Wilshore has never forgotten her, and he has never forgotten their promise made long ago. Charlotte would love nothing more than for Lord Wilshore to forgive her, but too much heartache and too much time might make that impossible. Friendship is all she can hope for, but that hope may be dashed as well.

An Heir to Spare by Rebecca Connolly
So cute!! I instantly fell in love with Anna, feeling her plight deep in my heart. Ned could not have been more amazing, their chemistry and flirting bringing a smile to my face. I truly wanted to see these two have the happily ever after they both so richly deserved. This story was endearing from beginning to end, and I enjoyed every moment.

The Widow of Lavender Cottage by Jen Geigle Johnson
Another cute story!! Oliver is so incredibly charming, it's hard not to love him! I also admired how down to earth Lillian is! It's very rare, when reading Regency's, that you read about a lady of higher station being so pragmatic, helping the help, and taking charge of her own household. I loved the change from the normal Regency read - very refreshing! I could feel the chemistry instantly and loved all the scenes with Lillian and Oliver. Such a good story!
My Rating: ★★★★

A Promise Forgotten by Heather B. Moore
Long lost loves reunited again under grave circumstances is always a love that I cheer for! Both Charlotte and Brand made choices that changed the courses of their lives but still, their bond was so powerful that it brought them back together again. I adored watching Charlotte fight to get her mothers estate right again, the moments between Brant and baby Emily were absolutely precious, and who wouldn't love a friend like Thea! Such a sweet and heartwarming tale!
My Rating: ★★★★

All in all, this was quite the enjoyable read and another magnificent addition to the wonderfully addictive Timeless Regency Collection.
