With sweet romance and thrilling mystery, The Temptations of Anna Jacobs was a fantastic historical romance read. I really liked this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I really enjoyed reading it. Loved it!Anna was a lovely heroine. She was very smart, strong, and determined not to let society's disapproval sway her from what she wanted. I appreciated that she was unwilling to let rumors dictate how she perceived a person (like with Drew's reputation as the Ripper). She was a great heroine and I really liked her.Drew was also wonderful. He was really trying to redeem himself in this book. After being drunk for most of his adult life, keeping bad company, and being so muddle minded that he allowed the murders to be pinned on him, he wasn't going to go back to all that. He set out to redeem himself and he definitely did. He proved himself as a clever, determined, and worthy gentleman. And, he was so sweet and adorable. I thought he was a perfectly flawed hero.The romance was great. Anna and Drew were very sweet together. I liked how Anna didn't judge Drew for his past or his reputation, and Drew understood Anna's wish to be a doctor. There was some steaminess between them, though their romance was mostly sweet. I thought they were a lovely couple.The plot was fast paced and I was hooked the entire way through. There were tons of thrills that kept me on the edge of my seat, as Anna and Drew tried to find the Ripper. I really enjoyed the story and the ending was lovely.The Temptation of Anna Jacobs was a fantastic historical romance. I loved this book. The romance was sweet, the mystery was thrilling, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Romance lovers, this book is a must read.*I received a complimentary copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
