Outgoing and cheerful, she has many friends and enjoys the pleasures of high society\u2014even if she cannot dance at balls or stroll in Hyde Park. She is blessed with a large, loving, and protective family. But she secretly dreams of marriage and children, and of walking\u2014and dancing.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">When Ben Ellis comes across Lady Jennifer as she struggles to walk with the aid of primitive crutches, he instantly understands her yearning. He is a fixer. It is often said of him that he never saw a practical problem he did not have to solve. He wants to help her discover independence and motion\u2014driving a carriage, swimming, even walking a different way. But he must be careful. He is the bastard son of the late Earl of Stratton. Though he was raised with the earl\u2019s family, he knows he does not really belong in the world of the <span class=\"a-text-italic\">ton.<\/span><\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Jennifer is shocked\u2014and intrigued\u2014by Ben\u2019s ideas, and both families are alarmed by the growing friendship and perhaps more that they sense developing between the two. A duke\u2019s sister certainly cannot marry the bastard son of an earl. Except sometimes, love can find a way.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_yv4m172 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_iig8172  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25881 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png?resize=296%2C72\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jan 16, 2023<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong> <em>Ravenswood<br \/><\/em><strong>Book: <\/strong>3<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $14.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Balogh\u2019s latest release in the Ravenswood series hits different.<\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If I\u2019ve said anything over my years of reading it\u2019s this, very rarely do I read a book and cry. Maybe I\u2019m getting older, maybe it\u2019s the season of the year, but <strong>Mary Balogh<\/strong> and this book had me shedding ugly tears with a few sobs, late at night.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This series in general is this slice of life story where connections are forged, remade, or healed through the passage of time, change, and courage. Always remember is no exception, and tells the story of the eldest Ravenswood, <strong>Ben Ellis<\/strong>, the bastard son of the since-passed Earl. On the flip side our heroine is the sister of a duke, <strong>Lady Jennifer Arden<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Both Ben and Jennifer have lives filled with challenge. From Ben\u2019s role as a widowed father, and not quite allowed to re-marry into the upper echelons due to the circumstances of his birth to Jennifer\u2019s childhood illness that has left her unable to walk normally and mainly restricted to a wheelchair. These two, while familiar with each other due to their respective sibling\u2019s marriage, have never really interacted one-on-one, until the summer of the Ravenswood fete. A month\u2019s long gathering and stay that forces both Ben and Jennifer into each other\u2019s paths, and forever changes them.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is slice of life type story with lots of heart. Ben\u2019s habit of being a fixer is heart-melting. He wants to help Jennifer have more freedom in her life and does so by trying to find ways to make her more mobile. In return she becomes the listening rock he needs, someone who will let him speak his mind about all the things bothering him and give good advice. These two actions start to form a closeness that neither can deny and the subsequent falling made this unable to put down by the time I hit chapter two.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, if you want a historical romance that includes plenty of slow burn, family drama, and in general low-angst falling I highly recommend <strong>Always Remember<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_198e172 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/426TRXG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3O97vU2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/always-remember-mary-balogh\/1143364133?ean=9780593638392\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/always-remember-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Mary_Balogh_Always_Remember?id=7NO5EAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Left unable to walk by a childhood illness, Lady Jennifer, sister of the Duke of Wilby, has grown up to make a happy place for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,112,128,48],"tags":[152,305,307,404,405,548],"class_list":["post-30918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-berkley","category-landra","category-penguin-group","category-reviews","tag-4-stars","tag-historical-romance","tag-historicals","tag-recommend","tag-recommended-reads","tag-regency-romance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

Outgoing and cheerful, she has many friends and enjoys the pleasures of high society\u2014even if she cannot dance at balls or stroll in Hyde Park. She is blessed with a large, loving, and protective family. But she secretly dreams of marriage and children, and of walking\u2014and dancing.<br \/><br \/>When Ben Ellis comes across Lady Jennifer as she struggles to walk with the aid of primitive crutches, he instantly understands her yearning. He is a fixer. It is often said of him that he never saw a practical problem he did not have to solve. He wants to help her discover independence and motion\u2014driving a carriage, swimming, even walking a different way. But he must be careful. He is the bastard son of the late Earl of Stratton. Though he was raised with the earl\u2019s family, he knows he does not really belong in the world of the ton.<br \/><br \/>Jennifer is shocked\u2014and intrigued\u2014by Ben\u2019s ideas, and both families are alarmed by the growing friendship and perhaps more that they sense developing between the two. A duke\u2019s sister certainly cannot marry the bastard son of an earl. Except sometimes, love can find a way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jan 16, 2023<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong> <em>Ravenswood<br \/><\/em><strong>Book: <\/strong>3<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $14.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Balogh\u2019s latest release in the Ravenswood series hits different.<\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If I\u2019ve said anything over my years of reading it\u2019s this, very rarely do I read a book and cry. Maybe I\u2019m getting older, maybe it\u2019s the season of the year, but <strong>Mary Balogh<\/strong> and this book had me shedding ugly tears with a few sobs, late at night.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This series in general is this slice of life story where connections are forged, remade, or healed through the passage of time, change, and courage. Always remember is no exception, and tells the story of the eldest Ravenswood, <strong>Ben Ellis<\/strong>, the bastard son of the since-passed Earl. On the flip side our heroine is the sister of a duke, <strong>Lady Jennifer Arden<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Both Ben and Jennifer have lives filled with challenge. From Ben\u2019s role as a widowed father, and not quite allowed to re-marry into the upper echelons due to the circumstances of his birth to Jennifer\u2019s childhood illness that has left her unable to walk normally and mainly restricted to a wheelchair. These two, while familiar with each other due to their respective sibling\u2019s marriage, have never really interacted one-on-one, until the summer of the Ravenswood fete. A month\u2019s long gathering and stay that forces both Ben and Jennifer into each other\u2019s paths, and forever changes them.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is slice of life type story with lots of heart. Ben\u2019s habit of being a fixer is heart-melting. He wants to help Jennifer have more freedom in her life and does so by trying to find ways to make her more mobile. In return she becomes the listening rock he needs, someone who will let him speak his mind about all the things bothering him and give good advice. These two actions start to form a closeness that neither can deny and the subsequent falling made this unable to put down by the time I hit chapter two.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, if you want a historical romance that includes plenty of slow burn, family drama, and in general low-angst falling I highly recommend <strong>Always Remember<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/426TRXG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3O97vU2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/always-remember-mary-balogh\/1143364133?ean=9780593638392\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/always-remember-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Mary_Balogh_Always_Remember?id=7NO5EAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30918"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30918\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30926,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30918\/revisions\/30926"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
