About this listen

What makes a man fall in love? The Book of Love holds the answer, or so Poppy Farthingale believes....

Poppy Farthingale has made a pact with her two best friends to use the Book of Love to find true love. How else will Nathaniel Sherbourne, Earl of Welles, ever notice her? With a small dowry and no prominent lineage, Nathaniel will never consider her a suitable wife, especially when her competition is a beautiful duke's daughter who has already been declared an Incomparable. Poppy has four days to win his heart, but with time running out and her rival about to attend a weekend party at Nathaniel's country home, is all hope lost?

Nathaniel Sherbourne, Earl of Welles, is a man whose heart has been bruised by the ravages of war. He is in no rush to marry, for he's a wealthy and titled bachelor with debutantes aplenty eager to gain his notice. In any event, he has a blackmail scheme to unravel before he can turn his mind to more romantic ventures. But his sister's shy friend, Poppy Farthingale, is suddenly capturing his attention. She's toting around the Book of Love, and he's promised to help her find a suitable match.

But is it possible that he, in fact, is the right man for Poppy?

Good Read

This is the second book in the Book of Love series and once again has fascinating characters. Nathaniel and Poppy spark from the start. It takes him a while to admit he’s fallen, but the journey is interesting and the end result is sweet. These two are strong characters who are comfortable in their own skins. It’s fun to watch Poppy grow and become comfortable in the role she will play within society. I loved getting to see the characters from the previous book in the series and for the continuation of the exploration of the Book of Love. Its’ a fun and entertaining story.

I listened to this book on audio and enjoyed the narrator.

I simply adored this story.

I simply adored this story. From the light and witty banter to the naïveté, it was simply delightful. I found myself giggling from the start. Poppy’s adoring flirtation and Nate’s surprise obliviousness made it such an enjoyable read. The bit of mystery added in and them working together to solve it was a wonderful little twist. Meara Platt writes characters with such ingénue and pleasant quirks that he can’t help but fall in love with them. I am excited to read more of the farthingale family, and all the wonderful matches to come.
