Miss March Lawson had to grow up very quickly.  Her parents died suddenly and left her with three young children to protect.  Years later when she is struggling to make ends meet,  there is one last thing she can try.  
Michael Cavensham,  the Marquess of McCalpin has a terrible secret that he has kept hidden from everyone except his brother.  That secret makes him feel vulnerable and at times unworthy of his birthright.  
Theft is theft,  even if it's a small amount,  but if the money should be yours anyway does that count???  
This is an emotional romance with both our characters dealing with uncomfortable issues.  When someone sets out to profit from the troubles our poor heroine faces,  it could destroy a whole family.  Our hero needs to dace up to his difficulties before they ruin everything.  
A fascinating story that will have you crying and laughing.  
I loved it.

3.5 stars   I felt this one had a pretty strong start, a bit weak in the middle and an ok finish. I seem to be having a bit of a struggle with this type of book lately. I like the characters, but the reasons for the turmoil are just so lame. I wish they had more meat to them.

**Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the ARC in exchange of an honest opinion.**

Another amazing book in The Cavensham Heiresses Series.  Janna is a remarkable new talent in the Historical Romance Genre.  This is her third book in the Series and my favorite.  Her characters are amazing, her stories are full of heartache, courage, loyalty, and love.  March and Michael are both responsible for their families and will do anything to keep them safe and happy.  They both have secrets that could ruin them and destroy everything they hold dear.  Both are strong, stubborn people who have to overcome their fears and trust each other.  This one is a tear-jerker, have tissues handy.  I absolutely recommend Janna's books!

Michael Cavensham, the Marquess of McCalpin has recently found out he’s inherited the guardianship of the Lawson siblings from his uncle.  Now he’s discovered March Lawson, a ward he’s never met, is forging his name to procure funds from her inheritance.  He decides to visit her home to assess the situation more closely and find out who she is and why she is needing those funds.  
Ever since her parents died eight years ago March Lawson has struggled to raise her siblings on a meager allowance.  She’s devoted her life to raising them and desperate times call for desperate measures. She’ll protect them by even breaking the law and sacrificing her own happiness at all cost. When she meets McCalpin, he’s not quite what she expected, he’s not a heartless man simply an uninformed man. McCalphin quickly takes action to see the family feed, clothed and taken care of. 
For McCalphin family is everything, he understands March’s devotion to her family and vows to protect them and keep them safe. What he doesn’t expect is to fall hopelessly in love with the embezzler. March knows Michael is a Marquess and heir to a Dukedom will someday marry someone higher in London’s society, not a sheep shepherdess. I loved this story of March and Michael I was crying by the end of the book.  It was filled with so much emotion as these two struggle with their new love and trust even as someone sets out to harm them and their loved ones. This is my honest opinions after I voluntarily read a copy of this book that was provided to me with no requirements for a review

Everything that i love about historical romance!  A touch of scandal, secrets, romance and so much more.  Loved the character March and how she tried so hard to keep the food on the table for her three siblings and care for them after the death of her parents at such a young age.  I will admit to having wet eyes here and there.  If you enjoy historical romance, I will certainly recommend this book to you.  A well deserved 5 stars!  

My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers.

March Lawson has been down on her luck her whole life.  Since the sudden passing of her parents when she was 16, right before her first season, she’s had to take care of her siblings as best she could.  After years struggling to keep the estate and her family together, March is becoming desperate for funds and does the unthinkable by posing as the man in charge of their trusts.
The Marquess of McCalpin has a lot of responsibilities and the last thing he needs is the 4 orphans whose trusts are now under his control.  Upon he summons the eldest Lawson to London and he learns how desperate their real situation is, he’ll ensure to change their circumstances and give them the future March has been aiming to achieve.
Secrets, intrigue and misunderstandings fuel this lovely story of a proud guardian and the woman who becomes his charge.
This was my first read by this author and I was pleasantly surprised.  Ms. MacGregor’s writing is accurate and has a great flow.  Her characters are relatable and believable in the most charming way.
I really loved most of this book, but I felt it started dragging after 75% when the conflict got a little too complicated for my taste.  The pace seemed to slow down and I wasn’t as enthralled as I’d been most of the book, but it still makes for a good, entertaining read and I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.

3.5 stars

I enjoyed this book. The main character, March Lawson, to me it seems as if; to quote my father "if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all". Her parents send her and her 3 siblings away when their mother falls ill. The illness leaves March, 17, and her young siblings orphans. They have each other, two faithful servants, and a guardian who could care less.... Eight years later, dire times befall the Lawson family and March is forced to do something that could land her in jail. She's embezzling funds from her own trust under the guise of their newest guardian. ... Then she is called to London to face the new guardian. Is all lost? Will March go to jail and leave her siblings to a fate worse than death? Enter the Marquess of McCalpin, the newest guardian of the Lawson family. Just what will he make of this family? Will he press charges against March and send her siblings scattered across England? Wonderfully written, poignant at times; my emotions were involved and ran the gamut while reading this story.

This book held my interest from beginning to end.  She had me laughing and had me grabbing for my tissues. I was completely enthralled. 
The heroine,  March, was the oldest of 4 siblings, when their parents died of influenza.  March at 17, took responsibility for her family, giving up her dreams to support them. She is a very strong and courageous young woman,  to which life had not been kind.
8years later.
 Micheal, the Marquess of McCalprin, finds out that he is responsible for the Trusts of the Lawson siblings. How he inherited this responsibility he doesn't know. But some interesting reports are coming in on that account and he decides to investigate. What he finds is a family barely holding on. He forms an instant bond with March, recognizing her beauty, her courage and her sacrifice for her family. 
March is so relieved to finally get help.  She looks to Micheal to help bring her family to the position in society they should be.
As the story goes on,  upt ar the relationship grow and develop.  They both have issues from the past that have to be dealt with. It's not easy for either of them. 
This is the 3rd book in the series and I have loved each and every one of them.  I can't wait for the next in the series.

This was a highly entertaining historical romance ....

Alice Hubbard , granddaughter of a Duke , was a 'little' unlucky - she had lost not one, not two but three betrothed ......luckily she didn't love any of them.........unluckily she could not take the humiliation and retreated from Society .
Henderson Southwell , her deceased brother's best friend , has returned after 4 years way 
He finds her even more beautiful than he remembered BUT she is just as forbidden... ...he had made a promise to her brother that he would never , ever , ever pursue her .
He wants to put the light back in her eyes ,to convince her that she need not spend life as a spinster , that someone would love her .......it just couldn't be him ....Promises must be kept .

Alice has always been infatuated with Henderson and now on his return she begins to hope that perhaps she need not be a Spinster after all .

I loved the journey that these two characters take us on - I was able to laugh at their woes even whilst feeling for them at every obstacle in the way .

I will be looking for other books by the Author .......she is just what I need to take me away from the trials of everyday modern life .

First I would like to thank St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for a copy of this book. 

I am mostly a mystery reader but every once in a while I enjoy reading a nice romance to cleanse my reading palate. I am so happy I received this book, I smiled, chuckled out loud and became very angry and distressed when forces starting stacking up against March, and Michael needed a good shaking. 

 The romance between the 2 main characters was lovely and I finished this book feeling very happy with life. I now need to go back and read the other books in this series since I enjoyed this one so much.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.

What a delightful story! Once I started, I couldn't put it down. I loved the dual POV that the book was written in. It was charming to see the male protagonist having some issues and not the perfect alpha male. It really made for a more humanizing character. I could have fallen for McCalpin myself!!!! As for March, oh my word. That poor girl. She just had such a hard life and it seemed like everything that could go wrong did for her. Yes, Ms. MacGregor really out did herself. The plot was such that you can't put the book down because there was so much going on that one has to keep reading. This is the first book in the series that I have read. Now I have to go back and read the prior stories. The characters from other books make many appearances here and I am so interested in reading their stories now.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a great historical romance that is FULL of action!!!!

Bring your tissues - this one's gonna hit you right in the feels!

The prologue was just heartbreaking. It perfectly set up the situation March finds herself in with her younger siblings, so when the story picks up years later we're anxious to see how things are going for them. The Lawson family is in dire straits, not due to lack of money in the estate's bank, but lack of proper access to that money. March is forced to take drastic measures just to keep her family fed. 

Michael, the Marquess of McCalpin, has been hiding a terrible secret: He suffers from dyscalculia, though it wasn't called that in that time period. He believes he'll bring shame on his family and his future as his father's heir to the duchy if his secret is revealed, but keeping the secret - and not being able to fluently discuss matters that relate to numbers in any way - takes a real toll on his self-confidence and he's constantly afraid of being publicly humiliated if his secret is discovered. 

When he learns that his guardianship over the Lawson family - a responsibility he inherited from the previous Marquess, who was a dear friend of March's late father - has been usurped by Miss Lawson's attempts to forge his signature, he recognizes that he's partially to blame and sets out to make things right for the family. In the process, he and his family are completely charmed by the Lawson siblings even as he struggles with his wholly inappropriate feelings for the eldest sister. 

March is only interested in seeing her sisters happily settled and her brother well on his way to manhood. She's given up hopes of ever finding happiness with a family of her own. She's determined not to find herself beholden to the Cavensham family, regardless of their generosity. She certainly doesn't expect the feelings and attraction she has for the Marquess to be returned in kind, but she tries to keep her heart intact while she convinces herself nothing could ever come of such an alliance. 

The romance builds slowly from their friendship, so slowly it almost sneaks right on past them both. They each have their insecurities, their belief that the other couldn't possibly have any interest in a romance. When the inevitable finally becomes real, it's beautifully handled and joyous to behold. Theirs is a love story for the ages, made especially rewarding by the deep love shared between all the members of both families. 

This story was extremely well-written, sensitive about the disability and respectful of the integrity of the characters, even in difficult circumstances. I was hooked right from the start by that poignant prologue, and fell in love with Michael quickly, even when I wanted to Gibbs-slap him upside the head. It's the best kind of Regency romance, perfectly done with memorable characters. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book through NetGalley.

Perfect as a standalone or as part of this series. It hit exactly the right notes for me, and I loved the characters. Excellent secondary characters and pacing. The best book from Ms. MacGregor yet.

March is an orphan and doing what she must to raise her siblings for the past eight years on little money. Michael is the man that controls March’s purse strings, when he finds out what she has been up to he decides to visit.  What will happen with sparks fly.  This is a fun, entertaining read with plenty of emotion, the characters really drew me into the story.  A great historical read.

I received an ARC of this book in trade of an honest review. 

This is the first in the Cavensham Heiresses series that I have read and the first book by Janna MacGregor and I really enjoyed this book. Characters from previous books are present but they are not so involved in the story that you need to read them before this one. 

I absolutely loved the heroine March. When her parents died right before her entry into society, she became responsible for her three younger siblings and the management of their family estate. Her love and devotion to them and her caring nature to everyone makes her quickly and easily likable. The hero, Michael, is not perfect and the struggles that the reader sees him face makes him endearing and relatable. March and Michael's attraction and growing love for one another had good pacing and did not feel rushed and I enjoyed reading them all in love with each other. 

The plot of the story was able to keep my interest even though I felt that some points were trivial and could easily be rectified. I really enjoyed and did not expect the twist that occurs towards the climax of the story and how that affected March. Towards the end of the book I became very frustrated with Michael with his actions towards March and felt that the things were wrapped up too quickly and tidily.

The supporting characters were fun and interesting to learn about. Michael's family and their closeness and how much March and her siblings loved each other was refreshing to see when many authors in this genre write families as strangers who can barely tolerate each other. I hope that March's sisters get their own stories with heroes of their own <spoiler>I really do not want them to end up with the men who avoided them when March's alleged illegitimacy became public and miraculously reappeared when it turned out to be false. Janna explained that away in the epilogue but I hope that her sisters are smarter than that and at the very least make it a little difficult for the men if that is who they are going to end up with</spoiler>

All in all I enjoyed this book and i give it four stars.

I very much enjoyed this book. 
I found it to be well written and I read it so fast because I was so into the story.

I highly recommend

March Lawson knows how to get what she needs... most of the time. However, she wants to assist her siblings on a meager allowance she gets and she feels it's her responsibility to do all she can to keep her family safe and sheltered. She didn't know what was about to happen would drastically change her fate.

Michael Cavensham, the Marquess of McCalphin feels it's okay to give March a bit more difficult of a time considering that she's been forging his name. He doesn't have her imprisoned but he does play with her heart she feels. She doesn't seem to have control over it and is worried. 

This book was compelling and the characters very charismatic. The purpose of this story has great meaning and it is so creative and intense in the interplay of the Marquees and a woman down on her luck momentarily. What is to come is a nice surprise. The duke-to-be is in for a surprise also! 

This book gets 5 stars! I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! I laughed. I cried. I couldn't put it down. 
Well written. Strong female lead doing anything for her family comes up against a future duke with his own hubris. In addition to the leads, there were colorful, secondary characters. 
March Lawson is the eldest child, who at age 17, assumes the role of head of household after the death of her parents from flu. After many years with no help from their appointed guardian, March is desperate for funds to support her little family. In this desperation, she embezzles funds from her own trust. This leads to her meeting her newest guardian, the Marquess of McCalpin. By the end of the book, they have realized just how perfectly matched they are.
I enjoyed reading this book and learning about all of the characters that I can't wait for the rest of The Cavensham Heiresses books.

Outstanding regency/historical romance. March has done everything in her power to try to care for her three siblings. At age 16 her parents died and she was left to care for her infant brother as well as her sisters. She worked the estate doing not just the book work but physically shearing sheep to keep food on their table. She got desperate since no one came forward to help. Unfortunately, her cousin did everything go make life difficult in order to force her to allow her youngest sister to marry him. Eventually, the family was assisted by the Dukes heir Michael. Sadly, even he had personal issues and was unsure if she was trustworthy in spite of their attraction. There is intrigue, suspense, life changing accusations and so much more. As you begin to think all is well then another issue occurs. This book keeps the reader interested from beginning to the last page. Well worth reading. I received a complementary copy via Net Galley and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. MacGregor.
