ABOUT BREE
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.
She's the scandal he never planned for.
England 1803: Meet Lady Harriet Beaumont, known affectionately as "Harry" in the circles that dare speak her name with a chuckle. Daughter to the Earl of Whickerton, Harriet is a breath of fresh air—or a whirlwind of chaos, depending on whom you ask. A self-proclaimed spinster and savior of the animal kingdom, her heart is reserved for the wounded and the wild. From Sir Lancelot the rabbit to King Arthur, a parrot with a penchant for being called Biscuit, her life is a parade of rescued creatures. But her latest project is her most challenging yet: a two-legged, rather dashing specimen known as the Duke of Clements, whom she has cheekily dubbed Sweet Jack.
His world was orderly until her whirlwind arrived.
For Bradley Jackson, the Duke of Clements, life is a series of meticulously planned events. That is until he encounters a most peculiar lady in the woods. Lady Harriet, with her untamed spirit and disinterest in propriety, is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, turning his orderly world upside down. Tasked with selecting a suitable duchess, Bradley finds himself hopelessly distracted by the one woman who insists she will never wear the title.
A duke's dilemma: the woman who won't be won.
As Harriet continues to invade his space—and slowly, his heart—Bradley faces an unforeseen dilemma. How does one court a woman who is determined to remain unattached? With each passing day, the idea of anyone else by his side seems more absurd, yet the more he learns about Harriet, the more he realizes just how formidable a task winning her heart will be.
Rules for a perfect life: 1. Meet her. 2. Forget all other rules.
Caught between the pull of desire and the push of duty, Bradley and Harriet must navigate the complexities of their positions and their passions. Can a lady who vows never to marry and a duke desperate to claim her heart find a common ground? Or will Harriet's menagerie of misfits be the only hearts she's willing to mend?
This lady is not to be won, but to be reckoned with.

This has to be one of the wittiest stories I have read. Harriet is a hurricane that blows into “Jack’s” life without even a hint of warning! Bradley or Jack(cute nickname that drives him crazy) is a prim and proper duke who is flummoxed by Harriet’s bold nature. Watching them dance around each other is hilarious ! What was a little disappointing was this story seemed to be extremely long. I felt like some of the middle was just the same information said over and over. The climax was exciting and one detail was TOTALLY unexpected. Wonderful Wickerton characters abound and as always , Grandma Edie doesn’t disappoint. Lovely read!!
Impetuous, stubborn and wildly independent, Lady Harriet is determined to never lose her identity by submitting to marriage. However her love for mending hurt animals has found a new focus on the rigid, lonely Duke living next door to her sister. Bradley Jackson, Duke of Clements closed his emotions off many years ago, if ‘Harry’ bring him back to life, will her life change also?
I absolutely LOVED this book! Lady Harriet (Harry) follows Grandma Edie's suggestion to ride a different route one morning where she meets the Duke of Clements (Bradley Jackson/Jack). He's all prim and proper, and Harry is the complete opposite. What will happen when his caution and care to all things proper clashes with her spontaneous and uninhibited behavior? Lots of fun with a twist of danger! I enjoyed Harry's prodding Jack into different thought patterns, questioning his beliefs (will she go too far?); and, although Jack was tempted to turn away, he persisted in meeting, helping, and rescuing Harry. A few twists and Grandma Edie's scheming made it a fun read! I received a complimentary ARC of this book and have given my honest opinion in this review.
I really loved this book, but of course I’m in love with each and every one of this author’s books. In this one I must confess that I related to Isabella so much! She’s somewhat of a control freak like me. And I totally understand that it’s hard to let it go. Actually, Rowan needed a woman who took control of his life and wrenched him from the shadows in which he was much too comfortable. He needed to be managed and he was! I really loved the side characters as well, because in Lane’s books they are always as gorgeously fleshed out as the main ones. And I especially loved the ladies, the old friends of the late Duchess, who are always helpful and funny. A gorgeous, five star read!!!
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.
