4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting twist on the ton of Georgian England
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2023

I read this book over the Sukkot holiday. While I am very familiar with the Marranos, the secret Jews who had to pretend to convert or be tortured and murdered during the Spanish Inquisition, I had not studied the history of the Jews in England during the Georgian England period, so thought this would be an interesting book to read. The Pearlers are secular Jews, hiding in plain sight so they can be jewelers and sell to the members of the ton, who are known not to pay their debts. However, they are being blackmailed by a member of the ton, who they had once provided a kindness to, which proves that saying that "no good deed goes unpunished. The family are Kohanim, which their son takes very seriously, even though as secular Jews they have no connection with the Jewish community and he has no problem eating tref. His father has nevertheless contacted a shadchan (match maker) who found him the perfect match. He has his doubts. Meanwhile at a house party given by the blackmailer, he meets Rachel Newman, who is having her debut. Her family had moved to England after suffering horrible persecution in Switzerland and her father also has contracted with a matchmaker, who found the perfect match. Ok, everyone knew where this was going to lead to. But neither knows that the other is Jewish and despite feeling that the other would be perfect, they are forbidden to each other.

I found the story well written and the characters likable and believable. I did think it was kind of funny that when Rachel saw Fave naked, she did not immediately realize that he was a Jew. That both families have to hid their Jewishness if they want to be financially well off has been a story told over and over again throughout the exile. It is a shame that they chose money over their religious obligations and I have to hope that when Rachel and Fave have their own home, she does not have to give up kashrut and her observance, which I guess I will find out when I read the next book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Realistic from an historical perspective, but a bland story
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024

I bought this series because, being Jewish, I thought it'd be nice to read a regency romance about some of my people. I thought the history part of the story was excellent. I'm glad the author didn't try to smooth over the ways Jews have been treated throughout history and how they were accepted in England, only not really.

That said, I thought the writing was uneven, some was lovely-especially some of the descriptors, some was junior high school level, and some was so vague as to make me go back and reread to try and figure out what the characters were doing. The villain was a bit too cartoonish for me. I understood the Yiddish terms and the issues Fave and Rachel were having based on their faith, but I thought the narrative lacked a bit of clarity as to why they behaved as they did for readers who weren't as fully versed in Jewish traditions.

It was obvious from the moment we're introduced to Rachel how the arranged marriage was going to work out, so no surprise or even suspense there. The over-arching story of the King's competition was interesting and a good plot device to link the stories together. What I did NOT like at all, and I blame this on both the author and the editor is the inclusion, several times, of a form of address to females not used until the later half of the 20th century. There's no excuse for that slipping by, and it did--more than once, and among the reasons I downgraded my review from my initial reaction of 4 stars to 3.

The author also included a recipe for rugelach (a baked treat) and a bit of info on Jasmine infused tea--which was nice, but I thought a glossary of Yiddish terminology would have been nicer--not all the readers grew up with Yiddish spoken in the house and not all the terms' meanings could be inferred by the way they were used.

Finally, I really liked Arnold and Lizzie, more than I liked Fave and Rachel to be completely honest, and I have hopes that their stories will be better than this one.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this remarkable book! The characters were developed so well that I could clearly see them, hear them, and care about them. Moreover, the character development and arc of story line kept my interest to the last page. I also appreciated the story of love, and the coming together of the characters. Really interesting read and really thought provoking!

Guess I read book two before book one! Now that I've read book one, it all makes more sense. I had no idea that the late 1700's and early 1800's were so against the Jewish religion. Now I know it wasn't just WWII. This is a lovely romance story. Enjoy reading and learning and keep the facial tissues handy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet romance
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2022

Every romance has its problems. This one is unique in that it isn't supposed to happen. Rachel is supposed to marry the man her father has arranged for her to marry and have lots of babies. Fave is supposed to marry the woman his father has arranged for him to marry and pass down his pure ancient bloodline. Neither of them has ever been in a relationship before. Neither of them is prepared for the feelings they have for each other, but they both want to take it to the limit. They each must walk a fine line between the truth of their families and the ton. And they are both at the mercy of a horrid blackmailing woman who will stop at nothing to have her own way.
Rachel's family has a very sad backstory and her mother still suffers for it. Both families have found ways to be successful and to find their way to the edges of the London ton. It's maintaining their positions and their balance that keeps them all constantly checking to be sure they are doing and saying the correct things.

4.0 out of 5 stars an expose of hypocrisy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2022

This is more than a regency romance. It has all the necessary elements to fulfil the requirements of that genre, strong characters, both male and female; a compelling attraction; a thorny dilemma and a happy ending. However, it draws out more than that. Using a Jewish perspective, it gives a lovely insight into Jewish culture but more importantly it exposes the unbridled racism that has been inflicted on Jewish people for centuries. In this case it is the snobbery of the ton that exhibits it, such that this is a more realistic depiction of societal attitudes than many regency writers. All in all, an enjoyable read

2.0 out of 5 stars Bit poor
Reviewed in Australia on September 12, 2022
Verified Purchase
This book is a bit of a trudge. It moves slowly and the hero and heroine are a tad dim, despite the constant assertions that they have brains. The plot hinges on people undertaking an arranged marriage remaining anonymous until the ceremony, which anyone who has ever lived within cooee of a jewish community will tell you is so unlikely as to be impossible. There’s also some stuff about kohanim having to be virgins when they marry, but this looks like a bunch of horse feathers. Plenty of poor research, modernisms and bad editing also detract from one’s reading pleasure. The book is set in 1813, but there are updos, Ms. instead of Miss, protein (term not coined till 1830s), montana sapphires (not discovered till 1865) and fountain pens (unreliable & therefore unpopular till much later in the century). Rapprochement is used as a synonym for reproach, segue is spelled segway. There are many more things like this, but it’s not worth wasting my time to list them. Avoid.

British names and places wrongly spelled. A daughter who suddenly becomes her mother - names mixed up. A sweet treat that changes from one chapter to the next. Proof reader urgently required. Shame because story is interesting.
