Oh, sweet Poppy Farthingale has been in love with Nathaniel Sherbourne since she was a small child. Now, she must find a way to entice him to notice her but with a small dowry, no great lineage & a beautiful duke’s daughter for competition, she must use The Book of Love to win him.
Nathaniel Sherbourne, the Earl of Welles, has returned from war & now must take a wife to fulfill his duties to the title.
But, the war has changed him after all the memories of wounded & dead soldiers.
This was such a fun, emotional read with LOL humor & Poppy only has 4 days to convince Nate she is his perfect choice for marriage. I love Meara’s books as they always leave me with one of those happy, Feel Good feelings. I was gifted the Advanced Reader Copy of this book; all opinions are my own & have been voluntarily given.
The Touch of Love by Meara Platt is a charming and delightful regency romance. Nathaniel and Poppy are wonderful characters and stand no chance against the Book of Love. Nathaniel doesn’t think he’s the right man for Poppy but he couldn’t be more wrong. They are perfect for each other in every way.
An entertaining and enjoyable romance that leaves you warm inside.
Another frog.
What’s an Earl to do when a young lady decides he’ll be her frog? Poppy Farthingale made a pact with her friends Olivia and Penelope to use The Book Of Love to find love. A scientific approach, a lady needs a frog to experiment with the senses. Poppy has loved her best friend’s brother since she was a child. With the book that worked for Olivia, Poppy’s made up.her mind that the book will win Nathaniel’s love. Charming romance with a couple of villains in the background, one I didn’t see as a partner.
Very nice read, though for the most part predictable historical romance. There are some surprises, e.g. a misunderstood guess turning out to be half-correct.
Well-executed.
