I was especially charmed by the clever way more than one character managed to put an offensive character in their place without their being any the wiser. Oh, if only I had been blessed with such a gift!<\/p>\n<p>As always, Miller&#8217;s skill with description and her imaginative plot held my interest until the very end. I was invested enough in the story to want to force Catherine and Jonathan to actually sit down and talk it out rather than constantly avoiding the other&#8217;s eyes. My goodness, they could have saved themselves months of misery! Of course the story wouldn&#8217;t have been quite so much fun in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>Quite a few quirky and interesting characters grace the pages of &#8220;Winning Miss Winthrop&#8221;. Some were very likeable and of course there were one or two of those readers love to hate. All in all, this book is one that will find a permanent spot on my shelf once I purchase a hard copy. Carolyn Miller is quickly earning herself a position on my favorite authors list.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book provided by Kregel Publications through NetGalley.

Now tragedy has brought him back into her life. This time it isn\u2019t her heart he\u2019s taking, it\u2019s her home and her family\u2019s good name.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Carlew\u2019s serious demeanor and connection to trade, not to mention the rumors surrounding his birth, have kept him from being a favorite of the ladies, or their parents. Now, suddenly landed and titled, he finds himself with plenty of prospects. But his demanding society responsibilities keep pressing him into service to the one woman who captured his heart long ago\u2014and then ran off with it.<\/p>\n<p>These two broken hearts must decide whether their painful past and bitter present will be all they can share, or if forgiveness can provide a path to freedom for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Set in the sumptuous salons of Bath, Regency England\u2019s royal breeding ground for gossip, Winning Miss Winthrop is the first volume in the Regency Brides: A Promise of Hope series. Fans of the wholesome and richly drawn first series won\u2019t want to miss this new set of characters\u2014or appearances by their old favorites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-21678\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CMiller-423.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"167\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CMiller-423.jpg 167w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CMiller-423-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CMiller-423-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 167px) 100vw, 167px\" \/>Carolyn Miller<\/strong> lives in New South Wales, Australia, with her husband and four children.
