📖 Book Review 19# - No Ordinary June by L. N. Jacobs

I really enjoyed this one, though it’s definitely more of a quiet Regency romance than a dramatic sweeping love story.

Gregory Kendall is such an unusual hero. He’s reserved to the point of awkwardness and approaches marriage so practically that some of his early conversations with June feel more like an interview than flirting. At times he frustrated me, but that also made him feel more believable and interesting than the typical charming Regency hero.

June was probably my favourite part of the book. She’s observant, intelligent, and quietly witty, especially when she’s noticing how ridiculous society and courtship can be.

What I liked most was how subtle the story felt. It’s less about scandal and dramatic twists and more about loneliness, reputation, emotional restraint, and the pressure of marrying “well” in Regency society.

If you want fast pacing or a lot of spice, this probably won’t work for you. But if you like slower, character-focused historical romance with strong Austen vibes, it’s worth picking up.

I’d give No Ordinary June ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5.

L. N. Jacobs is an Italian paediatrician living in Sweden, where she's perfected the art of balancing hospital shifts, family chaos, and an unhealthy obsession with happy endings.

By day, she wrangles tiny patients and their worried parents. By night (and early mornings, and lunch breaks), she writes emotional romances about imperfect people finding love in the messiest, most unexpected ways.

Her stories blend the high-stakes drama of medical life with sizzling chemistry, sharp banter, and characters who feel like friends you'd text at 2 AM. Think ER meets happily-ever-after, with a hefty dose of wit and a side of Swedish fika.

When she's not writing or saving lives, you'll find her devouring romance novels, hoarding chocolate like it's currency, plotting her next adventure, or convincing her family that "just one more chapter" is a valid excuse for everything.

L. N. Jacobs writes the kind of love stories that make you laugh, swoon, and believe that even the most guarded hearts can find their home.
