Synopsis:~

Four years ago, Jane Warwick escaped the shame and heartbreak of being jilted at the altar by becoming a housekeeper at the secluded Inn at Simeon Ridge. Predictable and quiet, the inn helps Jane find a place to heal and celebrates her strengths, where she is promoted to head housekeeper. But an unexpected visit to Bath, England, upsets Jane’s plans and sends her out of her comfort zone, directly into the harrowing path of historical detective author, Titus Stewart.

The only plans Titus sticks to are family holidays and the ones that send him careening into his story worlds, but when an uptight and nervous innkeeper stumbles into his life – and his latest novel – nonfiction begins to take on a much more interesting gleam.

My take:~

There’s no doubt Pepper Basham pens super fun, lighthearted contemporary romance that will generate many smiles and a few giggles as you read. Jane by the Book is no exception, and readers will be entranced by their sojourn to Bath and the endearing characters within its pages. Uptight Jane and bumbling Titus find themselves falling for each other as they pursue the history and secrets hidden in Jane’s heirloom journal. While Titus felt a little over the top for my particular taste, I can see his warm appeal and he is a lovely foil to Jane’s constrained and guarded personality. Sweet, bursting with charm, romance, and bookish references, Jane by the Book is sure to please.

Jane by the Book can be found in the novella collection, Once Upon a Laugh. The collection is my own purchase.
