The Widow Wore Plaid by Jenna Jaxon
4.0
While The Widow Wore Plaid is the sixth book in Jenna Jaxon's Widows Club series, it's the first book I've read. Occasionally, I felt like there was a bit I might be missing from the earlier books, but it in no way diminished my enjoyment of the tale.
Historical fiction is a favorite genre of mine. Set it in Scotland, and I'm in!
The book has incredibly described settings; whether it's a ballroom, estate gardens, gowns, or even a rustic forgotten hunting lodge, the author excels at putting the reader in the middle of the scene.
Jane seems to have her life figured out. After losing her husband in the battle of Waterloo, she has settled into widowhood and is quite happy. Love and marriage will only complicate things by taking control of her finances and life out of her hands. However, she begins to question whether she was wrong to discourage the offers of marriage from her lover, Lord Kinellan.
Gareth, Lord Kinellan, is a perfect hero for Jane. He respects her wishes yet knows there is more for them if they acknowledge their love. He sets out to win her over. Along the way, there are murder attempts and mysteries. This book certainly has enough plot to keep you turning page after page.
There were occasional instances that pulled me out of the story, but certainly not enough to take away from my recommendation of The Widow Wore Plaid. I can't wait to read more from Jenna Jaxon.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
