New York City, 1832. Clarissa Tanner is carefree and lighthearted until the sudden death of her parents.

My Review: 

Clarissa: A Clean & Wholesome American Historical Romance is the first book I have read by Jean Jacobsen. It is, also, the first installment from her Chronicles of the Hudson River Valley series. I enjoyed going back in time to the eighteen thirties New York and seeing what the society life was like. It was pleasure to meet Clarissa and Nicholas and seeing their struggles with has been thrown at them. I thought they had good chemistry and I wanted to know what would become of them. In the addition to the romance, I liked that there was some mystery and suspense. It was not one that could be easily predictable, keeping me engaged and intrigued to find out how it would all end for the two. I was hoping for the best for them but could not tell which path they would take. I thought it was a great story to read. 

I am giving Clarissa: A Clean & Wholesome American Historical Romance a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading sweet and heartwarming historical fiction. I look forward to reading the next addition to the Chronicles of the Hudson River Valley series, The Reluctant Heir. Jean Jacobsen has earned herself a new fan. 

I received a paperback copy of Clarissa: A Clean & Wholesome American Historical Romance from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
