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.

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.
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.
This has been such a wonderful series, and this has to be my favorite story yet! Isabella and Rowan are pure delight! The storyline is charming and the clever dialogue and banter between those two make for a most entertaining read. She is a Duke’s sister and he, a successful hotel owner, yet nevertheless a commoner. He could never be accepted by her world, but their hearts say otherwise. I was rooting for them all the way, and enjoying every page of their romance!
Rowan and Isabella’s story is a little strange for the time period and I completely enjoyed it. Well written with interesting characters and an outrageous plot. This story includes some fun bits and steam. Another fine addition to the series from this author.
This instalment covers the twins finding their futures while saving their brother from being blackmailed into marrying someone he does not love. Will Isabella be able to steal the evidence and accept gossip is not her whole life. Will Rowan realise what is in front of him & accept he is worthy of the place his adopted family have gifted him. I found this a really fun witty story. Isabella is quick of mind and saves the situation often, and the steam is also there between her and Rowan. Even the sneezing attacks was charming. Really enjoyed this story.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I love this series, A Gentleman's Guide to Courtship, not only for its ironically-named sub-title, but also for its humor and heart. The Duke of Clearford, creator of the "guide" has pretty much given up on advising potential suitors how to court his sisters. The first three are married, and now it's Isabella's turn. Like the others, she's not particularly interested in marriage--and why would she be when she already has so much freedom?
Rowan Haws is not interested in marriage either, but a potential business deal requires marriage, so he convinces Isabella to play the part of his wife. This ends with predictable results. The way that Isabella can bend the rules of society to pull off this deception is what I find especially surprising.
Lane’s books are always filled with laughs, clever dialogue, and intense sex scenes. Her complex characters always experience transformations. Isabella and Rowan are no exception. Isabella learns she can relinquish the need to control everything because Rowan will be there to keep her safe. Rowan, who had vowed not to marry, takes a bit longer to transform. He needs to see himself as worthy of Isabella and accept the love and acceptance that has been offered to him by his adoptive parents. Then, he needs to face his fears of rejection from the upper classes. Yes, some will reject him, but he doesn’t need their acceptance. Isabella and the very large extended family forming around her will accept him with open arms as soon as he stops hiding. And as long as he has her, he can withstand the disapproval from those who don’t matter.
I love this author and her wild creativity. A story filled with steam, gossip, chemistry, secrets, wit, and more. It just sizzles!
Rowan has an instant attraction to Isabella. She's a lady pretending to be a maid. Rowan is a bachelor who wants to own an inn but who must marry first to have a chance at it.
What starts out as a pretend marriage turns into opportunities of a lifetime. The characters are amazing and outstanding. The story is so engaging that I couldn't put it down. Don't miss this one, you will really regret it.
