Pretending she’s her twin gets complicated when Hope is shipwrecked with a handsome castaway. When rescue comes, will she risk her heart to confess the truth or will they part forever?
Pretending to be her sister, Hope Everly finds an adventure at last. The Caribbean’s warm waters and tropical islands fulfill nearly all her dreams. When an excursion to visit another island with a naturalist … dreams. When an excursion to visit another island with a naturalist expedition is interrupted by a storm, Hope is stranded on a desert island where she and her fellow castaways are dependent on a handsome stranger for their survival.
Alejandro Córdoba, trapped and alone on the island long enough to give up all dreams of rescue, knows nothing of what has become of his war-torn homeland or his family. When he finds the beautiful Miss Everly washed up on the shore, along with her companions, he does not know if their arrival is a blessing or a curse.
Hope’s behavior, acting one way with Alejandro and another with her friends, further confuses things when they begin to fall in love. If rescue ever comes, will telling Alejandro the truth mean losing him forever?

I continue to be delighted by Sally Britton’s Regency romances. Her ability to describe a setting without slowing down the plot keeps me in the story. I felt, along with Hope, the desire for adventure and the chafing of society’s expectations and also the hopelessness experienced by Alejandro. There is a fabulous HEA. This is a great addition to the Inglewood series, but can be read as a standalone. I highly recommend the whole series, including this newest addition. I was given a complimentary copy. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this excellent romance.
I really enjoyed this book Sally Britton is one of my favorite authors! I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and was excited to see how Hope’s story went, it was a very original story for a regency book and totally befitting the adventurous Hope. Can’t wait to read Isaacs story next!
Saving Miss Everly was so wonderful; I read the whole book in one sitting! Hope Everly traded places with her twin sister Grace in order to go on an adventure to the Caribbean that should have been hers in the first place. Unable to come clean as to her true identity, she ends up pretending to be Grace a lot longer than intended. That is until she washes up on a deserted island with her shipmates and finds the incredible Alejandro. Forced to find ways to survive, Hope’s true nature and self are revealed. The rest is an original tale that’s part Robinson Crusoe, but mostly just a beautiful tale of what it means to truly love someone for them. Definitely a new favorite from author Sally Britton.
Saving Miss Everly is book 3 of the Inglewood series by Sally Britton.
I have been looking forward to this book as the glimpses of Hope Everly in previous books had shown she is a real character with a penchant for trouble. I was not disappointed. Hope definitely has the ability to get herself into trouble but it was her heart and the way she looked after others that really stood out for me.
Hope is traveling with her friend Irene and family in the Caribbean when there is a shipwreck and they are stranded on an island. Luckily for them the island is inhabited by one person, Alejandro, a handsome young man who has been stranded on the island for 14 months. Can they survive the island and the emotions running high? Will Hope and Alejandro ignore the sparks between them or let them ignite?
I definitely recommend you read this book to find out! I struggled to put it down and enjoyed the mix of regency with castaway!
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I sssssoooo enjoyed this one! Regency romance with a twist! No ballrooms or Hyde park in this fun book, you are taken on a ship and shipwrecked on a deserted island! How awesome is that. Try to follow all of society’s rules when you are just trying to survive. I loved this one and had such fun reading it. Alejandro and Grace….I mean Hope were good characters. I felt so sorry for Hope always trying to play Grace but it was good for her:} There are lots of good side characters in this. Britton always slides in these great side characters that make me wants to know there story! What happens to Thorne? Who is he in love with after just one day? I am going to need their story now:}
I’ve really enjoyed reading this series of friends finding love. This tale and romance really fit in with the character’s, Hope, personality. I thought the plot was original and unique. The writing is very well done. I am taken into the story and feel the emotions of the characters along side them. Great imagery. I did miss reading how she was welcomed back with her parents. I was just curious how that conversation would’ve gone. I thought poor Hope because she’s the wilder twin the blame was placed on her for switching places with most everyone. I know it’s not fair to the author but I’m already thinking okay when does the next book come out!? Hurry, hurry, hurry. Ha!
Who would have thought a castaway story could turn into such a delightful love story?!
Last book, Grace and Hope traded identities so that Hope could follow her dreams of adventure, and Grace could explore her relationship with Jacob. When Hope’s scientific excursion to a neighboring island with a small group is shipwrecked during a storm, they wash up on a small island deserted except for one resident Spaniard, a castaway himself! We learn how he survived for 14 months by living off the land, and he teaches this group of soft Englishmen what they must do to survive. Hope, known as Grace to the group, lives up to her name and strives to look for the positive in the dire situation, which captures the attention, and the heart of Alejandro, the Spaniard. Thus begins the tender love story, which quickly captures the reader’s heart as well.
As in every group, there are those who tend to fight against the goad, bringing pain and destruction in their wake, and makes for an interesting and realistic story that will not soon be forgotten. The H is noble and the h is brave, and we rejoice when they find their HEA.

So good! I loved every word of this book. The story was so fitting to the characters. So well-written. I really enjoyed this third book of the Inglewood series and I believe it is my favorite. The love story was so sweet, clean, and strong, and had such a beautiful and romantic happy ending. I highly recommend it!
I received a complimentary copy of the book. All opinions are my own and are expressed voluntarily.
A daring adventure with so much to love! Wonderful characters that brought charm and life to the story. Sally Britton will capture your heart with the story she weaves between Hope and Alejandro, beautiful and spellbinding. This is the kind of book that will have you still pondering on it days after it’s been read!

Historical castaway
I enjoyed this unusual take on a twin, a castaway and a Caribbean island.
Hope is half a twin.
Alejandro is a castaway.
Props for an interesting premise!

I love this continuation of Discovering Grace. Hope Everly wants excitement and does she find it. I love how she is unable to fit into the mold to be a proper young lady, no matter how hard she really tries. This story is funny, entertaining and has very interesting characters. You will find yourself wanting to strangle Miss Carlbury. I do suggest for the best enjoyment to read Discovering Grace first, it will help explain parts of this book. Sally Britton has written a winner.
Update: I just listened to the audiobook. Marian Hussey is fabulous as the narrator. She made a very convincing Spanish Hero. And I loved Alejandro and Hope even more than I did reading it myself. So well read.

Hope wanted an adventure and she sure got one! This is the most unusual set up for a regency romance I’ve seen. I mean the bulk of the book takes place on a deserted island in the Caribbean. You don’t see that in regency stuff every day. I loved it and was annoyed every time I was interrupted in my reading by life. Just let me read!
I loved the relationship between Alejandro and Hope. I believed the connection they had from the first moment. I was thoroughly annoyed by the annoying characters as much as I loved the lovable ones. It was telling that Hope spent so much time with her “friends” the Carlburys and they suspected nothing about the switch in sisters even when her behavior was inconsistent yet Alejandro knew something was wrong from the start though he didn’t know what and then when he saw Grace, he knew immediately that it wasn’t Hope. They hadn’t known each other long but knew each other so much better.
This was another story that showed the difficulties for women in Regency England. So many restrictions that serve to make life harder. And if you are stuck on a desert island, who gives a hoot about propriety. Just do what needs to be done to survive.
I’m just vindictive enough that I would have loved to see Albert get a sufficient setdown that would knock some humility into him. Grrrr
I’m looking forward to the next in the series.
No sex or language
A little violence

I love the story.
The characters are well done. We see sides to characters we’ve met before that had not been seen, and we meet new characters that feel as though, given the opportunity, could grow to be good friends.
I love that the old friends know and love each other so well and yet they still do little things that surprise the others.
