MISS AGNES BOTTOMBROOK: Spinster, Skeptic, Suddenly Sought After.
Who said three times is a charm? Try seventeen rejections! At nine-and-twenty, Agnes Bottombrook had gracefully resigned herself to spinsterhood. Gentlemen simply didn't find her particularly charming—not even during her prime. Now, seemingly settled on the shelf, Agnes has embraced her fate with a pinch of humor and a hefty dose of realism.
Enter LORD WENTFORD: Rakishly Young, Handsome, and Inexplicably Interested.
When Lord Wentford, a dashing young nobleman, unexpectedly asks Agnes to dance, it sends ripples through London society and shock waves through his mother. Agnes, ever the skeptic, suspects his intentions are less than honorable—perhaps a wager or a daring bet gone too far.
Old maid? Not if he has anything to say about it.
Despite Agnes's best efforts to dissuade him, Lord Wentford proves unshakeably persistent, challenging her long-held beliefs about love and her own self-worth. As Agnes finds herself increasingly drawn into a whirlwind of emotion and doubt, she must decide: Is embracing this unforeseen romance an act of courage or folly?
Will Agnes dare to trust her heart, or is she risking it all on a fleeting fantasy?
She's not looking for a hero, but what if he's looking for her?
In a tale of unwavering pursuit and reluctant affection, Agnes might just find that the most improbable love could be exactly what she needs—if she's brave enough to accept it.
Customer Reviews
Fun, inspiring read
This was humorous and romantic. It can easily be read as a short, stand-alone story. But, if you want to continue reading, it is the first in a series.
Loved it
I was actually very delighted by this story. I found Grant and Nessa to be fascinating characters. Grant was so charming, and I loved how he went about courting Nessa. Nessa was understandably leery towards Grant considering he declared the first time he met her that they were destined to be together. Normally I wouldn't groove with a character falling in love that fast, but the author made it work. I loved their HEA and wouldn't mind reading more in the series.
Charming
This is an absolutely charming story with loads of humor and loveable characters. Agnes can’t believe Grant is serious about courting her, and certainly not about marrying her. Grant fell in love with Agnes, whom he calls Nessa, at first sight. There is one determined suitor, one confounded lady, two meddling mamas, and one sweet papa. The story is simple with a few side-steps and lots of fun. So, how do you get that happily ever after? Persistence! If you enjoyed Ness and Grant in How to Wake a Sleeping Lady, you’ll this one. It’s the story of how it all began. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.
