Tabitha's Folly: A Regency House Party Book-Somerstone By Jen Geigle Johnson-Blog Tour Review and $25 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway

About the Book

Tabitha’s Folly is one of Five books all set at the same Regency House Party Series. While each is a standalone story, watch our characters mingle together with others from the books in the series. The stories can be read in any order.
Lady Tabitha Easton recklessly dodges four over-protective brothers while trying to gain attention from the man who holds her heart. She has many choices of suitors, and with Henry as disinterested as ever, she turns to what is wholly forbidden, an irresistibly handsome footman. While their friendship grows, her trust in him increases while her hurt and doubt in her childhood love and friend pushes her away from all she’s ever known as family.
When Lord Henry Courtenay discovers a new attraction to his childhood friend, his role as one of her chaperones at the house party becomes near impossible. Irrationally defensive about any potential suitors and seeking time alone with the enticing Tabby, maintaining friendship with her brothers proves more difficult than he ever imagined. His task becomes all the more difficult when she refuses to understand his growing attraction and often finds herself in almost compromising situations.
When Tabitha’s choices might lead her to danger, and doubt and distrust are high, Henry must prove himself or lose her forever.

Review

This novella is a quick read at only 164 pages. After I finished reading this one,

I wished I'd read the other books in the series, so that's what I plan on doing next. Even though I've heard the novellas can be read as a stand alone, I think they'd be more enjoyable read together. The 5 stories all take place on the same day at a house party where you see the same characters interacting together. Different characters are highlighted in the five books. All of the books were written by different authors.

I was excited to read Tabitha's Folly because I've really liked other stories written by author Jen Geigle Johnson. This story was cute and centered around Lady Tabitha Easton who has four over-protected brothers. Half the fun of this story are the high-jinks of her brothers and the way Tabitha responds. I could certainly relate to brothers that tease having grown up with brothers like this. I also really loved the moments between Tabitha and Henry whom she has "liked" for a long time. Of course the path to finding love is strewn with bumps along the way that make for some laughs, frustrations, and also a little intrigue. This was an enjoyable read and I intend to read all five novellas in the series.
