A past relationship threatens their future. Can they clear his name and find happiness together?

Miss Ellen Brooks has had no choice in her future husband. When her father arranges a marriage to Viscount Stafford, she does her best to be pleased with the match, even though she knows very little about him. But when her father becomes ill, Lord Stafford decides that there is no need for the arrangement to continue and publicly breaks the engagement, leaving her ashamed and confused.

Viscount Leonard Stafford considers himself an honorable man. However, when a failing in his past comes back to haunt him, he realizes that in order to protect Miss Brooks, he must end their engagement. Broken by guilt and shame, he tries his best to avoid the lady, only to realize that he has begun to feel more for her than he anticipated.

Will he be able to overcome his past mistakes once and for all? And will Miss Brooks ever forgive him should he tell her the truth?

If you like gripping historical romance with period-perfect detail, then you’ll love this page-turning Regency romance. Grab your copy today!

The Convenient Arrangements series tells the stories of ladies who manage to find love and a Happy Ever After amidst some difficult and “convenient” situations.

Rose has read her way through countless romances over the years, “borrowing” them from her older sisters, and hiding them from her mother (Mom didn't like the sexy book covers!)

She has a special love for Regency romances and when she began writing, the Regency period was a natural place to start. The ton, the wealthy families, the Season, the dilemmas, and yes, the marriages, have always fascinated her. She loves a happy ever after! Now she is happy to bring this passion to her stories and share it with her readers.

On a personal note, Rose lives in North Carolina, is married, and has a terrier that barks too much. She enjoys taking him for walks to tire him out!

5.0 out of 5 stars More romance and mystery in Regency England! Very well done!

A Past to Forget, book 5 in Rose Pearson's Convenient Arrangements series, is further proof that Rose can deliver on her promise to provide novels that allow a reader to escape into Regency England, with a guaranteed happily ever after ending.

I have come to love Lady Newfield, who appears like a fairy godmother in all the books so far. Her standing with society as well as years of wisdom and experience, allows her to face up to the fool's amongst the nobility who think to prey on the vulnerable. Her no nonsense approach to the ton and their frivolous lifestyle is refreshing. Lady Newfield's witty comebacks had me giggling aloud frequently. She is a wonderfully created and well-developed supporting character.

The main characters in A Past to Forget, develop slowly as the story progresses, much like you would expect to happen in real life. Both Ellen and Leonard gain courage and strength as their love for each other develops. The difficulties they encounter as Ellen and Leonard become more involved seem at first to be insurmountable. The drama and mystery add to the suspense you feel as a reader. I sat forward in my seat and held my breath as Ellen tried to find the evidence to save Leonard from his evil-ex.

Rose Pearson's A Past to Forget, is an easy-to-read, entertaining romp through England's past. It is perfect for cold, rainy afternoons when you are stuck indoors. A Past to Forget will allow you to escape for a time to a different world and a different time for a short interlude. And when you are done you will return to reality, refreshed and ready to tackle whatever life throws at you!

Well done, Rose Pearson!

It was a lovely story. Ellen is an intelligent and interesting woman who finds herself capable of handling crisis and finding solutions. Her love story with Leonard is sweet and clean. There is mystery and intrigue. The villainous lady is evil and manipulative. However, Ellen and Leonard extricate themselves from her clutches with some help from friends. It all ends well for Ellen and Leonard and they have a happy future together.

I enjoyed Lord Stafford and Miss Brooks story. Lady Newfield was a delight. The story was reminiscent of Beauty & the Beast. Gaston being portrayed by the manipulating, controlling lady Moore. It is a short, clean read.

This is a clean story with only a few kisses. Also, it ends at the 83% mark, rest excerpt for another book. It is short for even a novella but I still felt a connection to the couple.

I found this enjoyable and not only enjoyed the main character's but also the secondary character's. I liked how we learn the reason why he broke the h's heart. He truly thought he was protecting her. There is one very nasty villain who does get what is coming to her.

The h comes up with a plan to protect the H. It was the one thing I didn't like about the story because the plan was the only thing to save the H. I couldn't get over neither the H nor his best friend figured it out - lol.

No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, little on romance and clean. I recommend this story and author. (ljb)

3.0 out of 5 stars An engagement ends due to blackmail
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2023

A gentle romance which has a dark thread. Storyline is interesting, the romance is interrupted by past events and a widow with intent to marry again.

I found the writing style a little heavy going at times. The characters are a mixed bunch, couple feisty ladies, a hero that is a little less so, but he is a gentleman in trouble.
