Summary: mediocre
Comment: I enjoyed the historical and scientific research in this story, I also liked Ford, but I felt that Violet was a drip. Also, the overuse of the expression "Faith" (20 + times), and the constant intermingling of period and modern (slang) language really annoyed and distracted me, and prevented me from enjoying the story. I've never read any other of Lauren Royal's books, so I'm not sure I would continue with this author. I feel it odd that her research did not include the language of the time.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great series, another great book!
Comment: I've been following Lauren Royal with her Chase family series and am delighted to find her branching off with a delightful new, yet equally intersting, historical family in Violet. And how wonderful that she starts off this trilogy with Ford Chase, the eccentric studious brother from her previous books. Violet is a delightful read, true to Royal form, and I'm thrilled that she's continuing the thread in Restoration England. Don't miss any of these books!

Summary: Wonderful story!
Comment: I loved Violet. This book was amazing. I have never read anything by Lauren Royal, but that is going to change. She is definitely a rising star in the romance genre. Violet is the story of Violet Ashcroft, the oldest of the three Ashcroft daughters. She believes herself to be unmarriageable, because she is average. Not tall and beautiful like Rose, her middle sister, or Lily, who is a kind hearted soul, just plain average Violet.
When Lord Lakefield, Ford Chase, comes to stay at his property for awhile with his niece Jewel, she gets the chance to meet a scientist, because her youngest sibling, Rowan, becomes fast friends with Jewel. Ford shows Violet things she has never seen before, and he does some of the sweetest things in the world for her, such as making her glasses so she can see correctly. Unfortunately, both the protagonists have doubts though: Violet doesn't believe a man could ever love her without wanting her money, and Ford doesn't believe he is good enough for Violet because he doesn't have enough money.
As they find their way to love, the reader will be enthralled with the amazing research that went into this novel, and some surprising guest appearances such as Sir Isaac Newton, Robert Hooke, John Locke, and some other notable 18th century scientists. Lauren Royal definitely did her research on the Restoration Period, and it shows as historical information is weaved seamlessly into the characters' lives and interactions with each other. The reader even gets a tantalizing glimpse of her next novel, Lily, and what is in store for her.
All in all, a great historical romance novel. I picked this novel up on a whim, thinking it sounded somewhat interesting, and I was right. It was great! I am going to go back and read her Jewel trilogy now. If you are looking for a interesting, fresh perspective on the romance genre, then Lauren Royal is your ticket.
