Orphaned as a child, Anna Beasley was raised alongside her titled cousin in the high Society of the ton. But part-Indian Anna knows better than anyone that appearances trump social grace, even to those who raised her. After the loss of both her inheritance and her adoptive family’s support, work as a governess seems to be Anna’s only path forward . . . until she meets a man who is completely unattainable, and she feels seen and accepted for the first time.

Aspiring politician William Thaxton had no intention of falling in love with a governess. But from his first embarrassing encounter with Anna, he knew she was exceptional. As William gets to know Anna better, he can’t help falling in love with her, despite the infuriating stumbling block that her social status presents. As they navigate intolerance, cruelty, and William’s own ambitions, William and Anna must prove that love knows no boundaries and that the heart doesn’t play by Society’s rules.

Beautifully written, timely story, that reminds us to love
I was so impressed with this debut novel! It is so polished and written beautifully. I loved that it completely brushes aside any preconceived ideas of what a regency romance book can look like, and forces you to take a look at the effects of prejudice on individuals and society.I loved how Jill balanced Anna’s struggles and background, with the slow burn romance and wit of the characters.Anna is a strong, independent character. I loved how she had a head on her shoulders, and could look at situations without losing her mind. She still had so much to learn, and she goes through a lot of growth in this book, but she doesn’t back down when life gets tough, and she pushes forward, regardless of the forces acting against her.Honestly, this book really brought out the part of me that gets all fired up over cruelty and wants justice and fairness for everyone. Ha! I was extremely invested in Anna’s story, and several times while reading, stopped and ranted to my husband about how horrible people can be to others they don’t understand. Fear is a powerful motivator—and this book perfectly illustrates that love is it’s antidote.I was on William’s side right away because of how he could look past society’s predilection for shunning those with darker skin and make his own judgements, getting to know the person instead of her looks. Yep, give me that kind of hero any day.Bless dear Lucy for showing William where he messed up and pushing him to make the right choices. IYKYK — and you want to know. Lucy is a force to be reckoned with, and I hopehopehope Jill is planning to write her story.If you love regency love stories that are more than just romance, that buck the conventions and format we sometimes come to expect with romances and regency storytelling, and books that include beautiful writing and multiple cultures, it’s time to give this one a try.**I received a copy from the author, without expectation of a positive review. It’s a beautiful book, inside and out, and those are my own feelings on the matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a delightful Historical Romance! I highly recommend!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023
What a delightful surprise Of Jasmine and Roses by Jill E. Warner is! Don’t get me wrong. I had no sense that this book wouldn’t be great. I just had no idea what to expect. I’ve never heard of Jill E. Warner before and I definitely haven’t read any of her books. That’s because Of Jasmine and Roses is Warner’s debut novel, and what a debut it is. I loved this story so much. Right from page one I was hooked and tore through the pages of this story. The best part of this story is Anna. I love her character so much. She is one of the strongest heroines I’ve ever read. Many times in this story I wanted to scream at all the other characters for being so obtuse and rude and ugly. But Anna never lets the meanness take her down. Sure, she gets hurt feelings, she gets sad, she even gets frustrated, but she never lets the rudeness or the meanness of others change her. Anna is strong. She is strong on page one, and she is strong on the final page, too. I was very encouraged by her throughout this story. But I was also glad for William Thaxton to enter her life. William is a wonderful hero. He pays attention to details, he sees what others miss or take for granted, and he recognizes the value of everyone. He is also a natural problem solver and wants desperately to fix others’ problems when he can (and even when he can’t). He is the perfect hero for Anna. I love how Anna and William become friends, and then, seemingly out of nowhere, they become more than friends. But they are a tad oblivious to their true feelings, and it takes a minute or two for them to get on the same page. I found Anna and William’s journey to love rather refreshing and endearing. What I like so much about Anna and William’s relationship is how through each other they find a sense of belonging. Like God made Anna just for William and vice versa. So sweet!

Of Jasmine and Roses is a wonderful Historical Romance. This is a story I won’t soon forget. If you love a well-written, highly engaging story that will make you feel all the feels, then this is definitely the story for you.

I received a review copy of this novel in eBook form from the publisher, Covenant Communications, via NetGalley. In no way has this influenced my review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

3.0 out of 5 stars Language: G (0 swears, 0 “f”); Mature Content: PG; Violence: G
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023
Too Indian to be English, Anna (23yo) has found herself a position as a governess, making her too much of the help to be a lady’s niece and too much of a superior to be the help. With so much experience as an outsider, Anna thought she could help her two charges navigate the newness of their positions in society, but she struggles to help make a place for them where she has never fit. And the attention of Mr. Thaxton makes placement that much more complicated.
Though Anna’s story is set in the 1800s, her experiences with racism are real and relevant, making this historical romance much more than a fluff read. Racism is an arbitrary reason to not like someone, and readers can feel that as they look at the world from her perspective. Anna thinks to herself that “she really should have been used to these kinds of slights, but being used to something didn’t make it hurt less,” and no one should have to get used to consistent, hurtful treatment.
Anna is Indian-English. The rest of the characters are English. The mature content rating is for mentions of alcohol.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Regency
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024
It’s always nice to read a Regency romance that isn’t the typical format. Anna’s mother is British, but her father is part Indian, and that leaves her without a solid place in society. Although she was raised by cousins, she doesn’t truly and completely belong.

This sweet read encompasses loss, prejudice, and searching, which gives it an undertone of sadness, especially with the way Anna was treated by family. But at the same time, there is a feeling of hope that drifts through the pages.

I always love a good house party and this one allowed Anna to engage with William Thaxton and I loved the person she was when she was with him–carefree and content. She’s a strong character, facing her trials with dignity and grace. William is ambitious, yet likable, and it was a treat to watch them interact.

Content/TW: mild moment of peril/accident; mild, slow-burn romance; mild instances of prejudice
