He gambled on love once; the stakes are higher now.
England 1803: Troy Beaumont, sole heir to the Earl of Whickerton, once took a gamble on love and ended up with a heart in arrears. Now, driven by duty and the whispers of society, he contemplates a marriage of convenience, setting aside his family's fairy-tale ideal of marrying for love. He'd much prefer the life of a bachelor, but knows duty calls louder than desire. The question isn't just whom to marry, but can he marry without love?
She thought her heart was dead; she was wrong.
Lady Leonora, better known as Nora, survived a loveless marriage only to be branded a widow. Her heart, once bustling with youthful dreams, now feels like a quiet spectator in her life—until fate shoves her right back in front of the very man who once held its reins.
Thought he was done with love? So did he.
Their surprise reunion sparks more than just old friendship. Troy's once composed heart can't help but recall the melody of Nora's laughter, and the mischievous twinkle in her eye tempts him to reconsider the notion of love.
Nora, feeling her heart skip and stumble, wonders why it chooses now to dance again, especially when a future together seems fraught with complications. After all, Troy needs an heir, and she cannot provide one.
Once friends, once more. Is third time the charm?

★★★★★RebeccaThis whole series has been a joy to read. The characters are full of life. The relationships do not always go smoothly. But love triumphs in the end.
★★★★★Sher ParkerThis series has just kept getting better book by book and for me this one was the BEST of them so far! At times I cried and felt just so uncomfortable that I was stressed out but I kept reading and this wonderful author Bree Wolf took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride to what I THOUGHT was going to be the end of this series! I'm so glad it's not!
★★★★★B. tafuniBree Wolf always writes a wonderfully warm, family centered romance. She brings out the best in people!
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.
One kiss changed everything but too late to stop Nora marrying another. Now Nora is a widow but Troy is loath to risk his heart again and in Nora’s mind there is an insurmountable problem to their ever being together. However neither of them have taken Grandma Edie into account!
A friends-to-more romance between Troy Beaumont, Earl of Whickerton, and Lady Nora who grew up together and were friends until their first kiss. Unfortunately, that kiss occurred just before Nora married another. Neither of them can forget that kiss or each other. Nora returns home after her husband dies, runs into Troy at the place of their first kiss. Troy had a way of pushing others away and holding them at arm's length; he filled the title of Earl of Whickerton well. He watched his sisters all marry, and the Whickerton household was filled with family. But he wanted more. Nora and Troy reacquaint secretly, fall deeper in love, but she cannot marry him because of a secret she holds. But then what she thinks to be "impossible" happens! A wonderful swoon-worthy love story. I enjoyed becoming reacquainted with previous family members and friends, new babies born, and--most fun of all--Grandma Edie! A delightful Regency romance! I received a complimentary ARC of this book and have voluntarily given my honest opinion in this review. I'm looking forward to the mysterious Keir MacKinnear's story soon!
“No one should have to live without love in their life.” Indeed, The Whickerton family’s number 1 rule, Whickerton’s marry for love. Troy lost his love 5 years ago when she married another. Nora also lost her love that day, honouring a promise made while her heart belonged to Troy. Missed opportunities sometimes come full circle, and when Nora is widowed and returns home, Troy has the chance to change their past.
Bree Wolf has a way of writing characters that take root in your soul. You cannot help but feel for them, feel with them. After 7 stories of Whickertons, I thought I had come to know this family. I was completely unprepared for some of the revelations that came out in this story. A history we thought we understood, completely turned on it’s head. This made the story remarkably compelling. I expected the truly heart-wrenching story that would bound to come in Troy & Nora. After the conclusion of the last book, we knew certain expectations, but I was completely taken aback by a few surprises. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and this family and am grateful that we are not through with this group just yet. Cannot wait to read the next instalment of the Whickertons.
A lovely romance with interesting characters and such an engaging story. Samuel and Emma are a delight, I mean what could go wrong with a Duke and his Scottish matchmaker. Lots of attraction, a whole lot of fun and a wonderful happy ending and finale to this series.
Lady Emma Blackwood is a matchmaker visiting London to help the Duke of Clearford’s sister find a husband. She is hoping to make a successful match, so she and her sisters can stay in London and escape from their father.
Samuel Maerriweather, the Duke of Clearford has given up on offering advise in courtship and needs help finding a husband for his sister Lady Felicity. He decides a matchmaker is just the person he needs for her but not for himself.
Samuel and Emma are determined to forget their first meeting in the garden under the moonlight and do their duty to each of their sisters. The more they are determined not to be together, the more determined the sisters believe they do belong together. Even going as far as to fake a disappearing sister and sending Samuel and Emma on a wild chase together. Let the fun courtship begin!!
Wow!! What a way to end the series!! Samuel finally gets a wife and I felt Emma was perfect for him. I absolutely loved their story!! This book was very entertaining, lots of fun and had plenty of steam. One of things I really loved about this series was the interaction between Samuel and all of his sisters. It was so much fun having all of them together in each of the books as we read each of their stories!! I highly recommend this book and the entire series!!
This was a great conclusion to a great series. I enjoyed all of the books and was hoping that Samuel would get his story told and was not disappointed.
Samuel is the Duke of Clearford and the brother of eight sisters, most of whom are of marrying age. He needs to get his sister, Felicity, married to a suitable man after she was spurned by another man, leaving her bereft and heartbroken. She wasn’t interested in any other men, but when he has Lady Emma Blackwood come in as a matchmaker, Felicity does not object.
What adds more zing to the story is that Samuel is in need of a bride himself—and an heir. He’s in his thirties and time is ticking. He wants to get his sisters married off first and most of them are (and have their own stories in this series), but he is concentrating on Felicity since the younger sisters are too young to be pursuing husbands. He has his eye on a certain widow, but has just platonic feelings for her. He thinks he can make a relationship with her work. He has to be careful of who he picks for a wife due to the risk of scandal should anyone find out about his sisters’ book club. That is a story unto itself and spread throughout the series.
Emma has a story of her own that’s sad and has determined her course in life. She’s already on the shelf and is trying desperately to save the reputations of her own sisters. She knows she will never marry, even though she’d like to someday. How she first meets Samuel was absolutely beautiful and laid out some angst for the rest of the story.
The tension, the difficulties, and the feels between Samuel and Emma flew from the screen. There were a few times when I wanted to shake her for being so stubborn and obtuse, but she had her reasons. In the end, I admired them both.
This was a terrific story that captivated me from the beginning and kept me enthralled to the end. I couldn’t have asked for a better finale.

Six sisters, two matchmakers and the moon
Emma & Samuel
Scottish Lady and disgraced matchmaker, she’s set on securing a duke’s sister the perfect husband, keeping her wastrel father happy and her little sisters far out of reach of his greedy clutches.
He’s the duke and retired wannabe matchmaker set on marrying the young widow his sisters selected for him. Not the love match he once dreamed of, but she’s already well aware of the family secret and that should be enough.
They accidentally meet under the moon; a magical moment in which anything seams possible... followed by the cold shower the next morning when she learns he’s her new employer, and he realises he can’t risk her reputation...
At 31 she’s a fairly innocent but curious spinster, and he, now 35, forgot about women the moment he became the Duke 13 years ago. Their repartee and sizzle is chef’s kiss!
It’s 100% love at first sight for the both of them, and they can fight it all they want, you just know these two are made for each other. Literally two peas in a pod, and it’s oh so enchantingly enthralling watching them crack each other’s pod - it’s such an endearingly clumsy awkward irresistible muddle!
Add a mingling meddling mischievous gaggle of sisters, seductive knife throwing lessons, salacious books, naughty notes, ballroom shenanigans, new friends, old foes, the jealousy theory, too many brothers-in-law, a failed proposal, an elopement, a mad dash road trip, a storm and a true knight-in-shining-armour rescue - and you get the brilliant, bubbly, both heartbreaking and heartwarming, delectable, fantabulous fairytale ending to this wonderful series! Never a dull moment; I absolutely devoured this book! I love this family and their stories so much, and I cannot recommend this entire series highly enough!
The Duke of Clearford would like to marry for love, but his family’s secret erotic lending library makes that impossible. If the library is discovered, his wife would be ruined. But if he marries a member of the library, someone already courting scandal, he won’t have to risk an innocent’s reputation. He’s determined to do just that. Until he meets Lady Emma Blackwood—beautiful, intelligent, and entirely off limits. Chased out of Edinburgh by her enraged father and a scandal she did not cause, Lady Emma is determined to restart her matchmaking practice in London with a prestigious client the insufferable Duke of Clearford. Yet attraction, unexpected and consuming, threatens to their loyalty to duty and obligation
The final book of this delightful series, it’s easily read on its own but the Merriweather family features throughout. I loved both Samuel & Emma, they were attracted to each other from their first meeting in a community garden. I loved how their relationship grew & deepened. Their sisters were a delight & were determined to find the right ‘match’ for their eldest siblings. The banter was delicious, the attraction sizzled & the pace was good. There were plenty of hiccups on their journey which all made it an engrossing romance.
