Review: A Lesson in Trust by Jennifer Connors

The Lesson Series by Jennifer Connors is an interesting idea. THIS book, A Lesson in Trust, is actually Book 6 of the series. The basic premise of the series is this:

Ginny and her friend finally go on a vacation. Although she's not a romance book reader, Ginny is persuaded by her friend, Lisa, to pack several romance books for the trip. Good thing she has them, because everything that can go wrong on a trip does. The resort is hosting the Gay and Lesbian Alliance, so there's a serious shortage of straight men. Ginny gets sick and lands in bed for three days. As she finally emerges from her room, a storm comes through knocking out power to the resort. After several miserables days, Ginny and Lisa finally give up and head home. They're almost home when Bam! they are hit by a truck. This is when the interesting part starts.

Ginny "wakes up" to find herself in another woman's body, in Scotland and in Medieval Times! Ginny quickly catches on that this isn't really real and that she's living in a romance novel. Surely, as soon as she finds the hero she's supposed to fall in love with and him with her, everything will be okay and she'll be herself again. But just as they fall in love and make that true heartfelt connection, Ginny's version blurs and she leaves that stranger's body and the man she just fell in love with. The next time Ginny wakes up, it's a different book with a completely different time period and with different characters and circumstances. 

While all of the heroes became likable, there's been a couple of times that I was really disappointed that it wasn't the end. The first was with Colby in Book 3, A Lesson in Patience. Oh, I really liked Colby! Colby was a rancher in 19th century America forced to care for his siblings after his parents are tragically killed. He's bitter and angry, but Ginny helps him to heal.

I started this series so long ago, that I can't go back and review them all. All in all, they've all been enjoyable and it's been a fun series to read. 

So now, Book 6: A Lesson in Trust...

 

Synopsis:

Ginny's new persona must live in the shadow of scandal created by her parents. She is sent to live with an Uncle in far north England. Her uncle unexpectedly disappears on a trip, but his wife, Olivia, agrees to let Ginny stay. It becomes clear early on that Olivia's brother, Michael,  is destined to become Ginny's love interest. Olivia is less than thrilled and as strange events happen to Ginny that make everyone question her sanity, Ginny and Michael seek to find out who is behind it all. Could it possibly be Olivia?

My Response:

This is the second time I've wanted the series to just end. I would have been happy with Ginny staying with Michael. He believed in her sanity and there was just something about him. I have no idea how many books will be in this series, but I'm very curious to see how it's going to finally end. I will admit, it's becoming frustrating. You just want Ginny to find her happiness!
