💙“I loved Nessa’s doubts and how sweetly Grant overcomes them. Adored the kitchen scene!!!”
💙“Loved Grant’s pursuit of his ‘Nessa’ and his seventeen proposals!” 💙“I needed this sweet, clean romance in a time of such trial and strife.”It was her!Grant Barrett, Earl of Wentford, felt as though he had strayed into a dream as he stood and stared across the ballroom at the woman he would marry.
He had never met her.
He had never spoken to her.
He did not even know her name.
Yet, he knew that it was ℎ𝑒𝑟.
Her and no other.
Grant had felt it as though a bolt of lightning had struck him hard in the chest, knocking the air from his lungs and pulling his focus from the world around him to settle on her.
Her alone.
It was her! His heart beat fast against his ribs as his gaze trailed over her lovely features. Her eyes shone in a rare golden hue, complementing the soft waves of her hair despite the few unruly curls that had escaped down her temples. With a wave of her hand, she brushed them away. There was kindness in her gaze, something soft and tender, sweet and almost innocent. Yet, Grant smiled when he saw the determined set of her jaw as well as the hint of steel that came to her eyes as a group of haughty, young debutantes pushed past her with no regard for their surroundings.
With a slight scoff, his siren turned away, rolling her eyes in a way that made Grant’s heart pause in his chest.
She was certain love wasn’t meant for her. He asked seventeen times to prove otherwise. Agnes Bottombrook has spent nine-and-twenty years quietly watching life pass by. She’s accepted her place—a spinster, unnoticed and unremarkable—content to keep her heart safe behind skepticism and sense. She’s learned to question everyone’s intentions… especially the charming ones.
Then Lord Wentford asked her to dance—and didn’t stop asking. Grant Wentford doesn’t hesitate. The moment he meets Agnes, he knows. She’s not a wager or a whim—she’s his future. And when she doubts, he proposes. Again and again. Seventeen times, each one gentler than the last. Until something softens inside her, and she wonders if maybe love isn’t foolish after all.
She guards her heart. He lays his bare. And somewhere between fear and certainty… they begin. Grant’s persistence doesn’t feel like pressure—it feels like hope. The slow bloom of something Agnes thought she’d never have. And once she sees where her path is meant to lead, she chooses it—not because she’s convinced it’s safe, but because she knows it’s right.
She didn’t believe in happily ever after. He just kept asking until she did.
💞 If you’ve ever doubted whether you were worth choosing—and longed for someone who would wait, believe, and gently ask again… this story is yours.
A tender prequel to Nessa and Grant’s love story, How to Wake a Sleeping Lady.

I enjoyed this book, but it's not one of my favorites. A different storyline from the debutante attending the ball to find a husband. The kitchen scene seemed out of character and time with a regency book.

Agnes, affectionately remained Nessa by Grant, Lord Wentford, finally accepted his proposal after just a week of getting to know him on a more personal level. Yes, she had noticed him form afar, but being 29 and not quite in the same social sphere, she thought herself beneath his notice.
That is until he laid eyes on her and he immediately knew she was the one for him. He was relentless in his pursuit of Nessa, visiting her daily, getting in her space, and asking for her hand in marriage.
My favorite scene was in the kitchen when they both made a tart. And then ended up have a flour fight! Very touching and I'm glad her mind finally realized what her heart was saying all along.
Now to continue their story in How to Wake a Sleeping Lady!
I love this sweet, clean romance with wonderful characters. Grant sees Agnes across the room at a ball and falls instantly in love with her. He knows in his heart that she is the woman for him for eternity. Agnes is an older spinster held in contempt by the ton. According to the ton, she has no recommended quality. Grant is an Earl and used to getting his way so he is stubbornly persistent in his pursuit of Agnes. Agnes on the other hand is terrified that Grant is not serious. She fears that he is pursuing her to win some sort of wager. Grant's mother and her friend, mother to Lady Elizabeth are determined that Grant and Elizabeth will make the perfect match. A DELIGHTFUL story!
Some people believe that love at first sight is a myth, but it is more than the stuff of fairytales; it is real. When Grant sees Nessa, he knows she is the one, but now, he must convince her of it. The odds are against him. She believes him a cad. Surely, he is not interested in her, a spinster. Surely, there must be a wager in the works. Then, there is his mother, determined to marry him off to someone of her own choosing. Can Grant convince Nessa to marry him? Can he defy his tyrant mother? This is a delightful story that you can read in one sitting. Even though it is listed as the seventh book in the series, it is best read before the first book. This story does not end on a cliffhanger, but Grant and Nessa’s story continues in “How to Wake a Sleeping Lady,” a lovely and touching tale.
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.
