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.

★★★★★ZenaOh wow! Loved this story - for me it is the best in this series! Oh, the heart-wrenching angst and fabulous second chance for love for Juliet and Christopher, the cuteness of the little boy and of course the grandmother who is just too good a character to believe!

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.
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.
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.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a special copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own
