What a great amazing book .. I’m in love with Ford.. I ended this book with tears. Thank you Lauren Royal 💕

A little long in some places. I loved the historical aspect of the story. The depth of characters was nice.

Great characters. I loved the strong females that were intelligent. Definitely a great read.

A great read!

Another stunning novel from Ms Royal. Fantastic character development. Intriguing plot line. Beautiful scenery. Last, but not least, accurate history. All add up to a delightful must read. Enjoy!

Violet gives you romance without violence and a great story about history that I found fascinating. I throughly enjoyed reading it.

This story is filled with historical richness and a wonderful romance. ♥️

I've never read any of Lauren's previous books, but that will change. I loved this book. This title caught my eye because I lost my Mom, Violet, a little over a year ago. I love romance novels and this one did not disappoint. I loved all the characters and especially the story line. I'm a sucker for happy endings.

After reading Lauren Royal's Jewel Trilogy, I was hooked. With "Violet" I have begun the Flower Trilogy. Though the "Violet" plot is not as intricate as those of the Amethyst, Emerald, and Amber novels in the Jewel Trilogy, I found it sensual, sweet, and humorous. I love the hero in "Violet." Ford Chase, a spoiled, youngest brother of three older siblings (whose stories are in the Jewel Trilogy) is not used to having any responsibilities. The laugh-out-loud part is when he takes his five-year-old niece to his home for weeks while measles rage in her home. Being a young bachelor (and somewhat of a rake), Ford is not used to being around children. The fun begins. This adorable little girl intrudes on his life-long obsession with science, but he soon comes to care for her. Ford falls for his neighbor: soon-to-be-21-years old, plain Violet who is intelligent but doesn't think a handsome man like him could love and want to marry her for herself--but only for her inheritance. Because Ford--being a younger son--is poor, most of their story deals with her confusion (which eventually becomes somewhat tedious). Violet and her family are unconventional for 17th century English peers and also provide some humor. Readers may want to read the books in the order they were written to better appreciate "Violet." I gave it only 4 stars because I liked the Jewels better. An avid reader of historical romance, I am only recently a Lauren Royal fan.

I love Violet's and Ford's families and the way real scientists of the time period were brought into the story. It's both humorous and sexy. One of my favorite romance novels ever!
