If autumn has you reaching for your coziest blanket and a stack of new books, let me introduce you to Jayne Rivers’ latest, "The Viscount's Unwanted Bride"—an absolute gem in historical romance and the second in her sparkling series.
Thank you to the publisher and BookSirens for providing a free copy for this book to review.
Rivers proves once again why her stories are beloved: this sequel transports readers straight into Regency England’s elegant drawing rooms, where reputation, love, and longing swirl through every page.
The heroine, Lady Kate Drake, finds her life upended after a scandal leaves her reputation in ruins. But even as she faces harsh judgment, her strength and resilience make her a heroine to cheer for.
The Viscount himself is a study in complexity—trapped by circumstance and haunted by duty, his journey toward opening up and embracing genuine affection is handled with real heart. Rivers crafts their awkward, arranged marriage into a story of healing and hope. The mistaken identity twist infuses the novel with clever suspense, making for a plot that never drags and characters that truly sparkle.
What sets this novel apart is Rivers’ attention to world-building. From tense ballroom scenes to the gentle vulnerability threaded through every encounter, the book feels lush, evocative, and alive. Secondary characters hint at new stories while supporting the romance at the core—making this a must-read for fans of sweeping emotional arcs, surprising twists, and deeply satisfying endings.
If you love Regency romance novels with wounded heroes and strong heroines, "The Viscount's Unwanted Bride" deserves a spot on your fall reading list. It’s an invitation to escape, reflect, and fall a little bit in love with old England—and with Rivers’ compelling storytelling.
