Be swept away by this Regency romance.

I'd been wanting to try this series and Ruth Axtell's books so I was glad when I got the chance to read this one. Now that I've read book 2 I'm going to have to go back and read the first one to learn the backstory.

A funny coincidence is that right before I read A Heart's Rebellion, I read Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. Coincidence, because this book really reminded me of Northanger Abbey: the clothing, dances, conversations, really the whole Season experience.

I have to admit that I really didn't like Jessamine at first. She is very self-centered and headstrong. But as the story progresses, and especially after a frightening incident, God begins the slow process of molding her into the young lady she is meant to be.

On the whole, A Heart's Rebellion is a sweet, romantic, and fairly light Regency-era adventure. If you are looking for a historical with a Jane Austen-esque flavor this book would be a perfect choice. Great for a quiet evening with tea and book.

(I received a copy of this book from the publisher through TBCN in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are entirely my own.)
