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.

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 is a nice story about a Heiress, Lady Georgiana who is tired of fortune hunters. She meets her best friends brother in law who together they decide to fake a courtship to keep fortune hunters away and to keep the ladies away from Joshiah. Joshiah decides he wants to get out of London and take care of the family lands, Georgiana loves London. How they will deal with each other and still respect what each one wants is the enjoyable part of this story.
I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
This was a heartwarming story of love at first sight for Charles Beaumont, Lord Hawthorne. Attending his first ball, he’s instantly captivated by Beatrice, sensing that she’s someone special from the moment they meet. Even when he discovers she’s pregnant, Charles refuses to abandon his pursuit, regardless of his family’s opinions.
It was wonderful to revisit the Whickerton family, especially with the unwavering support Charles receives from his mother. Her advice to follow his heart highlights the family’s strong belief that a Whickerton only marries for love.
Charles truly shines as a prince among men, unbothered by the fact that Beatrice is expecting another man’s child. His only desire is to protect, love, and marry her. Though Beatrice initially thinks he’s mad and resists his advances. I loved that Charles does not give up on proving to Beatrice that he really wants to marry her.
This beautifully written Christmas romance is a testament to the author’s storytelling talent. The way she captures the depth of emotion and creates characters with such warmth and devotion made this story truly touching.
I received an ARC (advanced review copy) from the Wolf Publishing and I am leaving this review voluntarily, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
This was a surprising story. Sweet with wonderful characters, no steam. I don’t want to give anything away so I’ll just say I didn’t see what happened coming. I expected something different. I really enjoyed this book.
Josiah and Georgiana are at the Christmas at his brother’s country estate. To deter fortune hunters and determined ladies, they agree to pretend to be courting. They had no intention to actually become a couple, but walks, talks, and the joy of eating cake eventually lead them in just that direction. Cute story, daring kisses!
I thoroughly enjoyed getting swept away by Charles' and Beatrice's love story. It was great to read of Charles' mother, Edith Beaumont, Countess of Whickerton (a younger version of Grandma Edie found in other stories).
Charles has just arrived back in England and is attending a ball with his family when he notices a young woman fighting back tears. He is drawn to her immediately and wishes to help her, but she turns him away on several occasions. Finally, he is able to help her, and she tells him her secret--that she is carrying another man's child, another man who promised her his love but then turned away from her. Left pregnant and single, Beatrice and her family face ruin until her father arranges for his widowed and elderly friend to wed Beatrice to save face and their reputation. Now that Charles knows Beatrice's secret, he offers to save her, yet she refuses his help once again. This is where the tenacious and loving Edith steps in and smooths things over.
The only thing Charles wants must be won through patience as well as respect and kindness. Can he do it? Will love win out? I loved the way Charles was forgiving, respectful, and kind to Beatrice. I also enjoyed the characters of both Charles' and Beatrice's younger sisters that brought warmth to the story. And, of course, Lady Whickerton is an enjoyably strong, mysterious and kind woman who meddles to ensure her family's happiness throughout many of Ms. Wolf's books.
I highly recommend this book as well as the entire Whickertons in Love series. I received a complimentary ARC of this book and have given my honest opinion in this review.
