Description

Who said three times is a charm? How about seventeen? An overlooked spinster finds unexpected love when a charming earl sweeps her off her feet. Will she dare trust fate or fear ruining them both? Discover passion's power in this swoon-worthy tale of risking it all for love. 💛 Opposites attract 💛 Persistent hero 💛 Love against the odds 💛 Slow burn romance 💛 Dashing earl 💛 Wallflower heroine Miss Agnes Bottombrook accepted long ago that she would never marry. Not even when she was still young did gentlemen see anything in her that would appeal to them. Now, at nine-and-twenty years of age, all hope is lost and Agnes is on the shelf for good. Or isn’t she? Out of nowhere, the rakishly handsome—and young, mind you!—Lord Wentford asks Agnes for a dance, shocking not only Agnes but all of London society, most of all, his own mother. Certain that his intentions are far from honorable, Agnes tries her utmost to rebuff the young lord and reveal him as a scoundrel, only seeking her attention to win a bet or wager of some kind. Unfortunately, Lord Wentford cannot be rebuffed, no matter how hard Agnes tries, forcing her to contemplate the possibility—remote as it might be—that he might truly…care for her. Or doesn’t he? Without her consent, Agnes finds herself swept off her feet by her most unexpected and equally persistent suitor, doubting her own sanity when desires she thought she had long since abandoned resurface. But will she dare believe him? Would she be a fool to do so…or rather not to do so? Brimming with passion, laughs, and sighs, How to Live Happily Ever After explores classic tropes like enemies to lovers, forbidden love, and opposites attract with wit and flair. Celebrate following one’s heart against the odds to find a joyous, transforming love.

  • 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.

    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.
