BREE WOLF is a USA Today bestselling author and award-winning word wizard, who is rarely seen without a book in hand or fingers glued to the keyboard.
He left to forget her; he returned to fight for her.
Lady Juliet Beaumont, eldest daughter to the Earl of Whickerton, has known the sting of a love lost. With her romantic aspirations buried deep in the past, she now finds solace as her grandmother’s companion, embracing the joyful chaos of her vibrant and unconventional family. But beneath her contented exterior, Juliet's heart whispers of what might have been, forever yearning for the man whose memory refuses to fade. Can one truly move on when their heart belongs to a ghost of the past?
Lost love isn't lost, just waiting for the right moment.
Christopher Hurst, the reluctant Earl of Lockhart, once left England—and Juliet—behind, chasing horizons he hoped would dull an unrequited love. But the heart knows no distance, and his love for Juliet only crystallized with each mile he traveled. When the formidable Dowager Countess of Whickerton, affectionately known as Grandma Edie, summons him home, Christopher returns, haunted by the fear of finding Juliet irrevocably pledged to another.
He left as a friend. He returns as a suitor.
As Christopher steps back onto English soil, the weight of unspoken truths hangs heavy. When their paths cross again, and Juliet’s emerald eyes meet his with a spark of the old affection, he is determined not to let her slip through his fingers again.
She moved on, or so she thought—until he came back.
In the dance of rekindled affection and old wounds, Juliet must decide if her heart is truly lost, or merely waiting to be found. As for Christopher, he must navigate the delicate art of wooing a woman who believes her heart is no longer hers to give.
She's the chapter he never closed—now he's back to finish the story.

As always, the Wickerton family is a rowdy bunch that makes sure their family is happy. Juliette, the first born has tried very hard to be happy with her life of caregiving to her Grandma Edie. But Edie has other plans….and Juliette’s childhood friend, Christopher’s , return is the plan. I adored how all of the sisters worked together to see the plan unfold. Christopher’s secret is hard to bear, but he finally realized that the only road to happiness is the truth. Seeing his mother finally explain her attitude towards her son is heartbreaking and I loved how the author chose not to make it and easy road to recovery. Bash is adorable and to see Juliettes heart intertwined with his is so satisfying . Now if we can only get Troy to be happy…..
This is both a friends to lovers and a second chance romance - two of my favourite tropes combined. Having read all the previous books in this series, I have been looking forward to Juliet’s story as it was obvious that Grandma Edie had been deliberately keeping men from courting her for a reason. I suppose it was a little slow in the reader finding out exactly why Kit had left six years previously but the ending was truly moving and beautiful. I read the entire book in one sitting and look forward to the next book in the series.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tender-hearted and warm romance between Juliet, the eldest Whickerton sister who's become responsible for Grandma Edie and her younger sisters. Jules, always the demure, level-headed sister practically becomes undone when her longtime ago childhood friend Christopher (Kit) returns for her sister's wedding. But why is he there? Who even invited him? And why did he leave so abruptly years ago when tragedy struck his family? Kit has a secret that only his sister and mother know. Of course, his mother also harbors a secret. So much hidden baggage that nearly destroys relationships. What a gem of a story! So many tender, intimate and swoonworthy moments! And Grandma Edie's manipulative attempts to work things out for her family is a funny interlude! Can Jules and Kit overcome all odds of a future together? A wonderful romance!
Harry’s carefree wild spirit spoke to me from the very beginning. She is drawn to all things requiring help so when she meets a stern Duke who never smiles, she cannot help be pulled to him. Watching her draw him out and his internal battle of rules and expectations is incredibly intriguing. The readers emotions are drawn in as his are. But what is a Duke to do once he fully accepts his emotions and his love for a girl who is convinced she will never marry. The tables are then turned while the Duke tries to convince her that marriage does not have to mean giving up her identity. The way they both come to truly know and understand each other is beautiful, as is their commitment not to change each other.
Once Upon a Not at All Innocent Kiss (A Whickertons in Love Novella). This is the story of how the parents of the Whickerton's came to be married. This definitely gave some insight into Troy their oldest son's story that was in Once Upon an Accidentally Bewitching Kiss. Beatrice Hartley found herself pregnant by a horrible rake who had no intention of marrying her. Her parents planned to protect all of their reputations by marrying her to one of her father's friends. When she met the gentleman, she could sense his disapproval of her and she knew the marriage would be somewhat difficult. When she is crying in despair- a gentleman Charles Beaumont, Viscount Hawthorne steps in with an offer of marriage. Will she decide to follow her parents plans or allow Lady Whickerton (Grandma Edie and the mother of Charles) to arrange an elopement with her son?
I loved finding out how the parents of all the Whickerton children came to be together.
This was a sweet story.
I received a copy of this book form the author and this is my honest unbiased review.
Another lovely story by the talented Charlie Lane! The novella is filled with charm and romance and kept me captivated all the way through. Georgiana is an heiress and loves her independence and the thing she hates most is fortune hunters. In an effort to keep them at bay, she forms an unlikely partnership with her friend's brother-in-law, Josiah. Josiah is rarely in London and a fake courtship with him is the perfect solution to keep the fortune hunters away and also keep her independence. Josiah has no time to marry and is too busy managing his father's estates. He has no problem lending a helping hand to the lovely Georgiana when he finds himself back in London. Both are set on their own paths in life, however, they begin to realize it's a very lonely journey. What started out as a unique friendship and an effort to help each other turned into something so much more.
I absolutely loved the story of Josiah and Georgiana. They had such wonderful chemistry which was evident in the witty banter between them which was an absolute delight to read. A truly lovely addition to the Dare series!
I received a complimentary copy from Wolf Publishing and am voluntarily leaving my review.
The Whickertons fall fast and hard. Charles knows when he meets Beatrice he knows she's the one. Even though she is pregnant by someone else he steps right up to take care of them. She can't help but fallmin love with him.
When Charles Beaument, Lord Hawthorne, eldest son of Lord and Lady Whickerton, sees that Beatrice Hartley is upset at a ball, he steps into rescue Beatrice from a scandalous situation, falls in love with her, and puts the scoundrel who hurt her in his place. Beatrice is reluctant at first, but Lady Whickerton (Grandma Edith) helps move things along. Lovely story in the Whickerton family.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Short and steamy quick read. The characters are the brother and the bff of the couple from Daring Done Right. Dares are still flying and I absolutely loved this book. I read it straight through.
