Charlotte Middleton breaks off her betrothal to Rupert Frost because of his indiscretion with a lady of dubious virtue, and marries an oafish suitor. Several years later, she becomes widowed and is not amused when the irresistible Rupert re-enters her life to seek her advice on finding a wife. His only hope of winning her back is to make her green with envy.
This is a sweet tale of two lovers separated by foolishness and youth. Charlotte and Rupert are lucky enough to get a second chance at love when they are reunited in an idyllic English village, and they make the most of it. Changing Seasons is a delightful story of a village whose inhabitants, when they aren't digging in their gardens, seem to be getting married. Jessie Watson gets it just right. Her Regency slang and mannerisms ring true, her characters are charming--the hero and heroine are well-supported, especially by the vicar and his dog, Fortune--and she sure seems to know her gardens.I highly recommend this book and all of Jessie's others. You will not be disappointed!
Jessie Watson is Today's Jane Austen
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I just can't get enough of Jessie Watson's books. The main characters are smart and funny, sophisticated and shrewd. As with most of us, they often have great insight into other people's lovelives and problems, while not quite coming to grips with their own. Jessie Watson is reminiscent of Jane Austen--twists and turns bring the reader through each stage of romance and adventure, hoping the heroine and hero will overcome their egos and inhibitions to join together, but, for the reader, it is bittersweet to find oneself turning that last page.
