I've been aware of Lisa Wingate's writing for many years, but it wasn't until I picked up a copy of Before We Were Yours in the summer of 2017 that I considered myself a fan.

Redeeming the Reclusive Earl is an enjoyable read from an author who knows her audience (me!), and delivers what I like to call ‘comfort food,’ novels. Virginia Heath is reliably good, and sometimes exceptional (see: The Wild Warriners, and His Mistletoe Wager). In this book, I liked the p ...
