Synopsis: Lady Jennifer Arden and Ben Ellis know that a match between them is out of the question. Yet their hearts yearn for the impossible. Discover a new heartwarming story from New York Times bestselling author and beloved “queen of Regency romance” Mary Balogh.
Left unable to walk by a childhood illness, Lady Jennifer, sister of the Duke of Wilby, has grown up to make a happy place for herself in society. Outgoing and cheerful, she has many friends and enjoys the pleasures of high society—even if she cannot dance at balls or stroll in Hyde Park. She is blessed with a large, loving, and protective family. But she secretly dreams of marriage and children, and of walking—and dancing.
When Ben Ellis comes across Lady Jennifer as she struggles to walk with the aid of primitive crutches, he instantly understands her yearning. He is a fixer. It is often said of him that he never saw a practical problem he did not have to solve. He wants to help her discover independence and motion—driving a carriage, swimming, even walking a different way. But he must be careful. He is the bastard son of the late Earl of Stratton. Though he was raised with the earl’s family, he knows he does not really belong in the world of the ton.
Jennifer is shocked—and intrigued—by Ben’s ideas, and both families are alarmed by the growing friendship and perhaps more that they sense developing between the two. A duke’s sister certainly cannot marry the bastard son of an earl. Except sometimes, love can find a way. (Synopsis from Goodreads)

My Thoughts: This was cute and I really enjoyed it. Mary Balogh is a historical romance author who I have no hesitation picking up books from. It's easy because I know I'm going to enjoy what they write.
This is the third book in the Ravenswood Series. It can definitely be read on it's own, but characters from the other novels are present, so it's a little more fun getting to recognize and see past couples.
Our main character is crippled from a childhood illness, but she never gives up. I liked Lady Jennifer's determination.
I enjoyed Ben too. They were a very cute couple and I liked seeing them grow and be happy together.
Mary Balogh has written more than one hundred historical novels and novellas, more than forty of which have been New York Times bestsellers. They include the Bedwyn saga, the Simply quartet, the Huxtable quintet, the seven-part Survivors’ Club series, and the Westcott series.
Thanks so much for checking out my Blog Tour Stop for Always Remember by Mary Balogh. Thank you to Berkley and Mary Balogh for letting me be a part of the tour. Historical Romance fans should definitely add this newest Balogh to their tbr.
