About this eBook

The Battle of Waterloo made them widows, but each has found new happiness. And Jane, Lady John Tarkington, intends to keep her freedom, even if love—and one particular gentleman—are determined to claim her heart  . . .
 
It is a truth rarely acknowledged—at least in public—that a wealthy widow is free to pursue a great many adventures. For two years, Jane has privately enjoyed her independence. Why should she remarry, even when the gentleman proposing is as wonderful as Gareth, Lord Kinellan? She entreats him never to ask her again. But as her Widows’ Club friends—now all joyfully remarried—gather at Castle Kinellan, Jane begins to wonder if stubbornness has led her to make a terrible mistake . . .
 
Kinellan needs a wife to give him an heir, and he wants that wife to be Jane. They are perfect together in every way, yet she continually refuses him. Just as he is on the point of convincing her, a series of accidents befall Gareth and point to an enemy in their midst. He has promised Jane a passionate future filled with devotion, but can he keep them both alive long enough to secure it?

What's a widow to do when she doesn't want to give up her freedom and get remarried? She definately had feelings for him, but after her first marriage when her husband held control, it was hard to give up her freedom. But in the end, all of her friends in the Widow's Club had remarried and he really was everything she wanted, right? He had loved her and wanted to marry for several years. It was just convincing her. But just when it seemed it might all work out, it seem villains came out of the woodwork! Could he keep them alive? It has been awhile since I have read one of Jenna's fantastic stories and this one makes me know I want to read more! A little mystery, suspense, and a winding journey to love, makes this a wonderful addition to this series!

This story kept me turning the pages. The final member of the Widows' Club was unsure whether she wanted out of the club or not. Jane enjoyed the power of her independence, but her heart belonged to another man. I loved how Gareth never gave up on Jane, accepted her reasons for not accepting his proposals, yet loved her in every other way he could. Once she finally made up her mind, Jane was determined so there would be no Widows' Club. Now danger could keep them apart. Jane could be fierce and resourceful, and I loved that she did not care so much about station or situation. I highly recommend this book. I received a copy through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.

Jane and Gareth are obviously in love. The problem is that she isn’t sure she wants to marry again. Her first marriage wasn’t a great love story. Gareth has been patient and done everything he can think of to convince her to marry him. He arranges a romantic outing and once again proposes. He has finally won her, and then someone shoots him. By the time they are found, it doesn’t look like Gareth will make it. While Jane tends to Gareth, a search is mounted to find the villain. Who wants Gareth dead, and why? Will Gareth survive? Will Gareth and Jane finally get their HEA? This starts as a slow-burn romance, adds a bit of danger and intrigue, and ends with a happy family. The characters are interesting and familiar, and the epilogue is lovely. I enjoyed and recommend The Widow Wore Plaid. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.
