🩷“This book is a wonderful guide to friendship and love.”
🩷“The two little girls Daphne & Susan made the story.” 🩷“Not to be missed!”He lost hope. She gave him her hand. Nathanial Caswell lives by rules now—no risks, no attachments, no love. After heartbreak left him hollow, he’s tucked himself into a life where joy feels like a distant memory. But during his brother’s wedding, a woman with bare feet and eyes full of quiet determination offers something he never expected. Not pity. Not romance. Just friendship. Just someone willing to stand beside him until he can stand on his own.
She believes happiness is a choice—and hope is always worth the fight. Charlaine Palmer knows what grief feels like. She simply chose not to live in it. Her heart aches for Nathanial, not because he’s broken—but because she sees who he could be if someone reminded him how to smile. And she’s not afraid to try. One laugh, one walk through sun-drenched fields, one masquerade at a time.
Friendship was enough—until it grew into something stronger. As the days pass and defenses fall, Charlaine begins to wonder if the bond between them might be deeper than she imagined. But love, real love, asks for risk. For letting go. For the choice to live fully again, even when it hurts.
He’s learning to breathe. She’s teaching him to trust. And together, they begin again.
🐸 If you’ve ever needed someone to believe in you when you didn’t—and longed for a friendship that could quietly grow into love… this story is yours.

🪶 I write love stories that heal slowly and speak gently—about courage, belonging, and becoming. They start with romance. They stay for heart.
This delightful story is Nathanial and Charlaine's romance. Nathanial is so broken after his engagement to Abigail is ended by her giving his engagement ring to another man. Nathanial travels from Boston to England for his twin brother's wedding celebration. While at the party at Pembroke, Nathanial is introduced to Charlaine, Pierces ward. Charlaine is a free spirit and kind and compassionate to everyone. When she sees Nathanials pain, she reaches out to him and tells him she will be a true friend to him, no strings attached. Nathanial teaches Charlaine to dance and she teaches him how to enjoy life again and to learn to trust.
A wicked witch, actually a confused and thoughtless ex-fiancé, has turned Nathaniel into a frog. He has hopped across the pond to escape the pain of the broken engagement. Charlaine has lost her family in Jamaica to illness has come to England to be with family friends. They are both somewhat lost and in need of a friend.
This is a cute, heartwarming rendition of the frog to prince fairytale. Nathaniel is wary of becoming too close. Charlaine is a kind happy person, full of life, and is determined to change this frog into her prince. There are lots of friends and family to nudge the couple toward a happy ending. The flower girls are adorable. Of course, we all know that fairytales end in happily ever after. I enjoyed and recommend this story and the Happy Ever Regency series. I do wonder where Emma is going in such a hurry, and why is Lord Ashhaven holding her shoe?
It was an amazing story of love and redemption after betrayal and abandonment. But I had already read it. I wish she would tell when these are not new stories.
Delightful story! I enjoyed finding out about how Charles Whickerton and Beatrice came together. Beatrice has found herself in a situation where she may be forced, by her parents, to marry a much older man. When Charles first meets her, he is determined to make her his own. This is a beautiful, romantic tale and I highly recommend it.

Another beautiful story by this intrepid author. I loved the previous books in this series but this one blows the others out of the water. Troy and Nora are such fabulous characters that you struggle to understand why they separated five years ago. Secrets & misunderstandings along with some twists and turns kept my interest from start to finish. I thought that Grandma Edie was wonderful! This is a fantastic story that you don’t want to miss, but it helps to have read the earlier stories, in order to understand the Whickerton family members.
