Miss Rose And The Vexing Viscount is a sensual, interesting, chemistry laden read which just sizzles and makes the reader really invest in the story being told.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.

When they turn 21, orphaned triplets Annabelle, Isobel, and Rosabella Lennox are told by their guardian that it was their mother's wish for them to head to London for a Season. Giving each of them a challenge to discover more about their mother, and her reason for being in Scotland alone, they head out for an adventure. However, youngest sister Rose is less inclined to the social side of the Season, and would rather return to Elgin to become a teacher. However, her host's handsome nephew, James, Viscount Ashbourne, may just be the one to make her reconsider. But would a viscount ever want to be with a bookworm whose parentage is unknown?

When I first started reading this book, I clearly wasn't in the right mood for it, as I only got 2 chapters in, and wasn't hooked. However, when I tried again, the triplets story gripped my attention, and the more time that James and Rose were together, I needed to read on to see them hopefully get a happy ending. Rose was always the shier of the sisters, but with James she was comfortable enough to snap back, and make snarky comments, cementing their friendship greatly. Both fell hard for the other, but fought their attraction as much as possible. I hated the third act breakup scenes, but James's actions more than made up for it. The discovery at the end of the book on who exactly their mother had been was fantastic, and though I'd guessed at the connection earlier, it was lovely to see it play out. The other sister's have had their stories planned out, and I can clearly see who their love interests are going to be - I can't wait for Isobel's with her prince!

An enjoyable Regency era romance with well written, likeable characters. Catherine Tinley has written another entertaining story which keeps the reader engaged throughout.

Lovely Regency romp! A buzzy, fast-paced plot and likeable characters. Will look out for more by this author.

Thank you to Mills and Boon and Catherine Tinley for granting me an arc copy of Miss Rose and the Vexing Viscount!

You’ve got me hooked on this trilogy - regency romance with mystery, a sibling series, a feisty-blue stocking heroine, and a grumpy Lord about to get a rude awakening as he falls in love. The cherry on top was part of it was set in Scotland with realistic travel times! Thank you Catherine Tinley for your accuracy and dedication to portraying the state of Regency roads, you made my little history nerd’s day.

Catherine Tingley writes with the same wonderful word craft and character artistry as Jane Austen. Her writing is engaging, entertaining, and full of wonderful historical nuisances of the era. I loved the individuality of the narrative and the essence of the story crafted around the romance of Rose and James.

Regency romances can sometimes struggle to set themselves apart and stand out because of the familiar historical setting and grand stage of a London season amongst the Ton, making the only difference the characters at the heart of the story. Nothing about this book felt like old familiar terrain – everything was shiny, new, and splendidly original for the plot and the personalities of the cast of characters. I enjoyed the mysterious quest subplot given to the triplets, each having their specific answers to find relating to their family history. This was a refreshing and unique twist on the trope of the season in the ton as the Lennox triples attitude wasn’t all about the marriage mart but learning more about their mother and unknown origins.

I’m going to be honest, Rose and James had me kicking my heels up and down in delight with their antics. Rose might appear shy, and timid but underneath there are hidden depths to her personality, which she exhibits in the familiarity of her sisters. Her sassy nature and passionate heart are drawn out by James who she seems to infuriate. James tries to be the typical aloof Lord, with a rakish past overcome with the duty of inheriting a title, and now is battling off the match-making mamas who want to capture his title for their daughters. But I love how Rose short-circuits him so easily and brings out a rashness to his character and playfulness that had me chuckling away.

They were a perfect match for each other. I loved watching them grow together, overcoming their assumptions about one another, and discovering their feelings for one another was sweet, heart-warming, and addictive to read. I am going to be throwing my money to Mills and Boon for other sisters’ books in the near future. Rubbing my hands gleefully in the hope the wait won’t be too long!

Fans of Bridgerton will enjoy this trilogy as well. Rose is one of three sisters and each book tells their own story. There is romance and mystery which keeps the reader hooked right from the start. I liked that there is more than just the romance throughout the story and look forward to the next two in the series.

This is a really good start to what looks to be an entertaining trilogy. The set up of the overall story arc was dealt with well and then we were off with Rose and James’ story. The characters are clear and well drawn and the scene of the presentation at Court to Queen Charlotte was was a lovely set piece. I enjoyed this book and will look forward to the next two in the trilogy.

This period romance was everything you want. A mystery, pining and forbidden romance. There was so much going on that by the end I was fully invested in this relationship.
However, starting off I felt the pacing was a bit slow as I got to know the characters plus the characteristics of the three siblings were mentioned a fair few times which I probably could have lived without.
That being said, they did truly develop as the story went on and delved in deeper. The plot felt more engaging and paced well after the first third of the book.
I enjoyed the mystery aspect as well as the romance and I'm definitely going to be reading the further installments about her sisters.
Overall, a great period romance with a dash of mystery thrown in for fun.
Favourite Quote - She burned for him. She thought of him constantly. She dreamed of him while asleep and daydreamed of him while awake. Impossible daydreams.
Favourite Character - James

Miss Rose and the Vexing Viscount is the first book in the Triplet Orphan series by Catherine Tinley. It was an intriguing start to the series which definitely made me want to read all the books as they are released.

The prologue grabbed me straight away even before knowing about the triplets or their tasks in London. I won't say anything about it but trust me, if you are anything like me you won't be able to read quickly enough to find out all you can about the woman who is the triplets' mother.

The series centres around triplet sisters who have no idea who their mother and father are. When they turn 21 and their education in a residential school ends, their guardian/solicitor arranges for them to go to London for a 'season'. They are to stay with his sister who will sponsor the women with the hope of them finding husbands. During their time in London, each sister has been tasked with finding out what they can about their parents which gives a nice touch of mystery to the story.

A romance develops between Rose and their sponsor's nephew. What starts out as an argumentative relationship could become something much nicer but with Rose not knowing who her parents are, a future with a Viscount isn't to be. Or is it?

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole concept of triplet sisters and especially enjoyed it when they took their bow before the Queen. I am invested in this series now because I want the three women to find love but also, of course, to find out who their parents were.

The trilogy follows the Lennox triplets, with each book focusing on one of the women. The triplets, affectionately known as the Belles, are presented to the Queen and are this year's diamonds. But with doubts about their backgrounds, it's unlikely any of the ton would want to marry them.

I was soon engrossed into their world and loved all the characters. Although not the world where one kiss could have you 'sent away'. Each of the triplets has been given a task to find out more about themselves. I loved how they worked it out and loved the outcome.

I've read and loved previous books by Catherine, and I'm already looking forward to the next 2 books.

3.5 stars - somewhere between enjoyed and really enjoyed. Hooked on the mystery, and looking forward to the next sister's story.

I love the Catherine Tinley books, they are full of beautiful romance and certainty in the power of love. The triplets in this book are great, full of life, full of hope and happy to be having their season in London. The mystery that is an excellent start to the book is woven through the whole tale and adds a piquant to the telling. Such a good romantic read.

I love Catherine Tinley's books and this one lived up to expectations.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me an early look at this book in exchange for an honest review.

An entertaining story of triplets, focusing on one - Miss Rose. Books two and three will I believe focus on the others and having hugely enjoyed this book, I eagerly anticipate the others. This story is a tale of orphans, a kind guardian and a romance, with a happy ending of course but also, each girl has been tasked with solving part of a mystery. Rose’s task was finding out who her mother really was, and she accomplishes this. A pleasure to read this book.

Miss Rose and the Vexing Viscount is a historical romance novel by Catherine Tinley.
I really adored this sweet, historical romance novel. It had a fairy tale innocence between the two main characters. Which I found adorable. This was a very enjoyable sweet, short novel that you could read in a day. Plus it had a great cast of characters. I highly recommend it.
💓 Thank you to netgalley, Mills and Boon and the author, Catherine Tinley for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
