From the author of the Kellington and Emerson Regency romance novels comes the fifth book in the Jasmine Cottage series set in the early Victorian era.As the sole remaining resident of Jasmine Cottage, Emma Moore has watched as her sister and three friends found true love. As happy as she is for them, she is less optimistic about her own chances of wedded bliss, since she had a long-ago falling … long-ago falling out with the only man she ever loved. Pride and a wounded heart have prevented Emma from ever trying again with the man she has loved most of her life. And now she finds herself living alone in her beloved cottage on his estate.
Christopher Aston, the Earl of Audsley, is a powerful earl who can get anything except the one thing he wants the most — the love of Emma Moore. A stupid mistake seven years earlier changed their lives forever and he has regretted it ever since. But when fate steps in and gives them a second chance, can they find true happiness together?
Of course they can! It’s the final book in the series. I’m not going to give you four happily-ever-after novels, then keep Emma and Audsley apart.
WHERE LOVE GROWS is a story of second chances because true love is worth the wait. It contains sexual scenes of a graphic nature because these two have been waiting a long time.

This was a series that was so good, I was compelled to devour it!
I can’t believe this was the last book in the series.
I truly love the ladies of Jasmine Cottage and am sad to say goodbye.
Emma is the last of the ladies to marry. She has been in love with Christopher Aston, the Earl of Audsley for what seems like her whole life. But the stupid mistake made 7 years prior has kept them apart.
I have been waiting to find out what happened between Emma and Audsley that has kept them apart. 7 years prior they made a mistake that caused them to become estranged. Now they find themselves repeating that same mistake but can the outcome be so much different.
I truly loved watching Emma and Audsley figure their way back to one another. The twist and turns they make had me completely captivated.
I loved watching them try to figure each other out and to watch they grow closer.
It was wonderful to finally see Emma get her happy ending after seeing her sister and their friends find there.
This book was the perfect ending to this series.
To be Written.
Had to purchase all books in Maureen Driscoll’s Emerson Series after reading the most delightful, entertaining book in The Jasmine Cottage individual books.
Although each book could be read as a standalone book, why deny oneself of the rich references in the series books of how all character’s lives are intertwined.
i highly recommend all books in the Jasmine Cottage Series.p!
Now, off ti read The Emerson Series!
Really loved reading this last book in the Jasmine Cottage series. The author is truly gifted with words. I need to go find the first book now….
WONDERFUL END TO A LOVELY SERIES
It is bittersweet to come to the end of this enchanting series. Emma has been infatuated with Christopher Aston the Earl of Audsley since she was a child. That feeling changed into a deep love as she grew. Both adults were deprived of a parents’ love although Emma has her sister Grace and the friends who called Jasmine Cottage their home. For a serious man, Audsley finds it difficult to express his feelings – but those feelings are real and he does all he can to make Emma happy. His love for her and their child Emma carries is beyond wonderful. And the mention and introduction of the characters from the Emersons and Kellingtons has the perfect touch. It is not just their love story, but a story of the deep bonds of love and affection among the ladies of Jasmine Cottage and the intertwining of previous series. You see how love can conquer petty traits of jealousy, greed and gossip. Especially wonderful is Emma’s defense of her friend Daphne at a ball where she throws not one, but two glasses of champagne at the source of gossip. Audsley will do anything to ensure Emma’s happiness – a truly wonderful man and the wish of anyone with a pulse! Being truly blessed with shared love is a gift – as is this wonderful conclusion of true love! Thank you for sharing such precious stories which make me wiser and better. Looking forward to more!
This final book in the Jasmine Cottage series is a wonderful and much-awaited addition to the series. The characters finally find happiness against all odds. My only regret is that it’s the end of the series, which has been so wonderful and a favorite of mine.
This is the fifth and last story in the Jasmine Cottage series and all I can say is, what a way to end it. I truly think this is the best one in the whole series and the reason for it are its main couple, Emma and Audsley.
Now, Emma has always been likeable because of her forwardness although she can be abrasive, she was well meaning and loving. Her sweet nature and quick wit were endearing.
As for Audsley, I found his character to be unlike any Ms. Driscoll has written so far. I found him reserved and quiet, yet still strong and a man of honor.
Emma and Audsley’s happily ever after took awhile and their path was fraught with misunderstandings, but in the end, their love for each other won the day.
This is such a fitting end to this series. I highly recommend it. If you’re a fan of Julia Quinn, Mary Balogh or Lisa Kleypas, then you will definitely enjoy this story. It’s THAT good.
