Love Unseen: A Regency Romance By Rachel Kelley Stones-Regency Book Review

 Book Summary

Hannah Hadley is a permanent fixture in London Society and well on her way to becoming a spinster. Despite her beauty and kind disposition, Hannah has accepted the harsh reality of her situation: she will never marry. Continually affected by an illness from her youth, Hannah acknowledges her chances of entertaining potential suitors, at least respectable ones, is slim.

To members of the ton, Jonathan Carter is undeniably unsuitable. Though he is in possession of a massive fortune and is handsome as well, there remains an insurmountable black mark against him: his is new money. Even so, he’s caught off guard when his enchanting neighbor, Miss Hadley, flatly rejects his offer to dance. Despite their rocky introduction, however, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. But when circumstances force Hannah from her home, the couple’s warm association comes to an abrupt end. Now, Jonathan must find a way to rescue the woman he just might love or risk losing her forever.

• My Review
• I am so impressed with new author Rachel Stone. Love Unseen was simply a captivating experience from the first chapter to the last. The characters are developed well and the story is driven by real issues and feelings.
•  The main characters Hannah and Jonathan have a rocky start when they first get to know one another. In fact, Jonathan comes across as very rude to Hannah.I absolutely adored the way that things developed between them eventually. Slow burn for the win here.
•  Hannah is blind and dealing with a mean and vicious mother. The "mother" is so well written I disliked her from the start. You do eventually find out why she behaves this way though I had no empathy for her. Hannah has learned to live with her blindness but it's others in society that don't know how to treat Hannah with kindness and respect. Thank goodness for a few cherished friends that loved and supported her.
• 
  
• Jonathan's family has come from "new money" and is not looked at kindly by well-established old societal families. This does not stop him and his mother and sister from trying to make a name for themselves after living in the West Indies. Once Jonathan meets Hannah his life changes in ways he never expected. With family drama abounding, it makes for interesting situations and people with nefarious purposes that raise your ire. 
• This clean romance written in first person is not your typical Regency Romance. There's so much more to it, as Hannah's disability is highlighted and how that changed so much of the regular view you see of upper English society in this time period. 
• 
  
• I was happy with the way things turned out and the epilogue brought some tears to my eyes. It was all very sweet. If you are looking for something other than the norm, you must give Love Unseen a chance.

Traveling to eras past became a favorite pastime and inspired her to pursue a degree in English from Brigham Young University. Fast-forward a decade (or more), and she finally put pen to paper to write her own romantic historical take. She now lives with her husband and children in Idaho.
