A single kiss ruined him.
How’s a rake supposed to please the ladies if he’s incapable of kissing anyone but her—Lady Charlotte Merriweather, the thorn in Quinton Chance, Viscount Noble’s backside. He should never have kissed her. But what else is a man to do when a beautiful woman cries? Now the one woman who makes him feel weak is the only woman he wants. And he promised his father on his deathbed to never show weakness. A proper society marriage will help him focus on his duties as a peer and banish Lottie’s kiss forever.
A single kiss awakened her heart.
Lottie has been in love with Quinton since he kissed her the day of her parents’ funeral. But he apologized and ran, and now all he gives her is smirks and snide remarks. That’s why she’s determined to forget him, to choose a husband from the many men courting her. But none of them kiss like Quinton, and when she discovers his barbs hide softer feelings for her, she knows she can’t give up. She’ll do her best to romance a rogue and prove loving is no weakness.
The Duke of Clearford’s Guide to Courtship will help Quinton woo a tepid bride, but Lottie will use it to romance her rogue. If these waring lovers can quit arguing long enough, perhaps they’ll see that happily ever after begins with a kiss.

⭐⭐⭐💫
3½ stars.
➕ What I liked :
Curvy/full-figured heroine. 👍
Kind of a confident curvy/full-figured heroine.
(In general and for the most part the heroine was a confident curvy/full-figured heroine👍….. And there is No inferiority complex and no negative comparison to other women.👍
But there was a little part of a scene that was both jarring and feels both disjointed and out of character for the heroine and contradicting to how the heroine is and behaves and her personality etc. and also had some anachronistic vibes.)
The heroine empowers other women.
The heroine was Not a OTT naive and willfully ignorant heroine.
Interesting side characters.
OK plot.
➖ What I disliked:
Some parts of the story was a little too anachronistic.
Unlikable hero.
(Intentionally cruel, immature, disrespectful etc.)
Annoying heroine.
(She was too clingy and rather desperate when it came to the hero…. Even-though the hero treated her badly over and over and dismissed her among other things she just came back for more.
And she was almost aggressive in her feelings and emotions etc. towards the hero…
She was almost bordering on being stalking and harassing…He dismissed her and told her No but she continued to be pushy with him etc.)
The heroines contradicting personality and contradicting actions...
(In everything from her being very confident and empowering and self-assured to her being self-conscious about her body/curves… even-though she never “had reasons” to be self-conscious… she herself said that society deemed her plumpness pleasing… but also that she had many suitors and was bold and confident in all ways and never thought about being self-conscious before in any way or situation …. But she is also the one to very often initiate sex/sexual acts.
And she only thinks and acts that way about her body/curves 1 time during oral sex… then she is totally confident and self-assured etc. and seduces the hero and walks around naked and pleasures herself in front of the hero etc. and has No issues with her body or anything about her body ever again and is totally sexually confident and confident.
And the heroines actions is also rather contradicting …. she has no issue or problem with being bold and taking risks with kissing all her suitors or trying to kiss them and being seen walking away to be in private with them etc.
And all the stuff and things with the erotic books she reads…. But then when the shit hits the fan she all of a sudden cares that her sisters can be affected by her behavior when she did not really care before?)
The romantic build up and chemistry was rather unconvincing and lacking but also kind of forced.
Repetitive.
Believability/plausibility issues etc.
( That the heroes father would not had made sure his only son and heir was trained and prepared to shoulder the role of Viscount etc. Especially as the heroes father took the responsibility/”duty” of being a Viscount and a landowner very seriously.
That the hero could not have got help and training etc. and to know what to do as a Viscount and landowner etc. from anyone but Mr. Barnaby…...What about his Estate manager or his steward or his man of business etc. etc. Or from his Mother.??
That Mr. Barnaby would be allowed to have such power over an estate that was not his.
That Mr. Barnaby was so openly disrespectful towards other peers with higher “rank” than him.
That the hero never truly put Mr. Barnaby in his place or dismissed him.
The quick turnaround from the hero when it came to marrying the heroine and being together with the heroine… when he had fought against his feelings and marrying the heroine so much and in the way he did.
That Lord Phillipspots believed the heroines and heroes lie about the erotic book and what happened with that when her behavior when that happened was so obvious about who the book belonged to and who read it.
That the hero would become so cold and stoic towards the heroine … he did not come from a abusive or toxic family … his mother cared for him and loved him and wanted him to be happy and loved…when his father was alive he was distant but kind… his parents did not love each other but they were not toxic or abusive towards each other or the hero… and he had a good friendship with the heroine and her siblings… so his behavior and/or total change of personality was strange.
But also that he cared so much for “his people” his tenants and showed them kindness etc. but was a jerk to the heroine very often.)
Formulaic in the character description/visual appearance/character choice of the hero.
(Hero= tall, big/muscular, handsome.)
The ROM-com vibes were very low.
Some tiny parts of the book felt a little too meta...
The book-cover could have been a little more accurate and better in showing/depicting
a full-figured/plump woman…. Like the heroine is portrayed/described as in the book.

Lady Charlotte Merriweather is the thorn in Quinton Chance, Viscount Noble’s side. He should never have kissed her but she was crying after her parents died in a carriage accident. Now the one woman who makes him feel weak is the only woman he wants. And he promised his father on his deathbed to never show weakness. A proper society marriage will help him focus on his duties as a peer and banish Lottie’s kiss forever. Lottie has been in love with Quinton since he kissed her the day of her parents’ funeral. But he apologized and ran, and now all he gives her is smirks and snide remarks. She’ll do her best to romance a rogue and prove loving is no weakness. The Duke of Clearford’s Guide to Courtship will help Quinton woo a tepid bride, but Lottie will use it to romance her rogue. Then there’s a scandal.
The second Merriweather sister to find love & it was a charming & witty romance. I loved both Quinton & Lottie, close childhood friends but then a kiss changes everything, the chemistry between them sizzles but boy could they blow hot & cold on each other. Their banter is so good but they waltz around each other until Lottie faces ruin but even then things don’t go smoothly. I disliked Barnaby & was glad when Quinton finally stood up to him. A very well written book that took me on a gamut of emotions from laughing out loud to shedding a tear & I loved this friends to lovers story
My review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

How To Romance A Rogue
Charlie Lane
Wolf publishing
Well let’s say this about our main character. They certainly can turn on and up the heat when they need to. Oh the romance between Lottie and Quinton has brewing in as many of years since they were young playmates. Over the years though things have changed for the two and have become very serious. I loved that the writer shared with the readers a little of the story of how Quinton and Lottie come to meet. And most importantly the introduction of Princess. I absolutely adored the comedy and continued sharpe edge verbal sparring Quinton and Lottie shared. I loved the entertainment and wonderful romantic story. The writing is very exceptional and telling.

Holy hell! Lane writes longing and tension and pining to new heights in this one. Absolutely combustible chemistry! Lottie is a force of nature, a pure typhoon once she sets her mind on course, wrecking every little bit of Quinton in her path. I had goosebumps, butterflies and gasps throughout the entire story. We’re not talking third act wrapup, but the entire story! Absolutely delectable!! These characters are everything I love. Strong, independent yet having the ability to lean on each other (at least when they let their guards down). Many lessons need to be learned for them to achieve their HEA, but thankfully, Lottie is determined and will not be swayed. Her moments of doubt hurt right to the bone. She is such a steadfast hero in her own right, already standing strong at Quin’s side even as he tries to guard against his feelings. Seeing her bring him up to scratch was an absolute delight. Beside their romance is the strong bond of sisterhood. So many examples of why this family is so strong. Poor Samuel has a force to deal with in his troop of sisters, for that is what they are, a troop of generals trampling anything that stands between them and happiness. There is no question that I love this story and am grateful I read an ebook. For surely a paper copy would be worn down by the 167 highlights I have in my ebook. 😂 Don’t miss this heartwarming story of facing one’s fears and always fighting for what you love.

Charlie Lane simply doesn't get it wrong with ANY of her books.
I was captivated from the beginning to the end.
They started as friends then they became enemies.
It all started with one kiss in the woods six years prior.
Chance had to shut his heart down when it came to love or anything that wasn't duty. And that includes the one woman who he can't stop thinking about kissing after six long years.
Charlotte knows what she wants and wants nothing less and she will go after what she wants even if it is a stubborn Viscount who says he has no interest in her whatsoever. And that she absolutely despises.
They both are determined to marry someone else however a scandal sets into motion where they end up getting married to one another despite how much they despise each other. But after another kiss after six years they awaken not only their passion for each other but that they can't fight how they feel for each other no matter how hard they try.
With the guide of a dog along the way they also realize love isn't a weakness its a strength to be found with the right person.

Thanks to Wolf Publishing for an ARC of this book, the second in the new series, A Gentleman’s Guide to Courtship.” Just like in the first one, this one makes it clear that the Duke of Clearford, Samuel Merriweather, the man writing the guide, hasn’t a clue about how to woo a woman. And his sisters are there to prove his assumptions wrong, even if they won’t criticize him directly to his face. First, Tristan courted Andromeda, quickly discovering Samuel’s book was bunk. Now, Quinton is using the manual, ostensibly to court other women (not Lottie), and Lottie decides to sneak a look at the manual and use it on Quinton (hence, the title of the book).
Tldr: I recommend the book. It’s everything I’ve come to expect from Charlie Lane—humor, poignancy, and spice.
If that’s insufficient, feel free to read more of my rambling.
Quinton Chance, Viscount Noble, and Lady Charlotte Merriweather, sister of Quinton’s close friend, Samuel, have a history together. Growing up on adjoining estates, they played together as children and were close friends. That all changed when Quinton’s father died when he was only 19. Lottie found him crying and gave him a puppy. Meanwhile, his father’s friend Barnaby told him men don’t cry and advised him to close off his heart and forget about Lottie because she’d cause him to be weak. “How humiliating—to be caught crying by a man so hard a blade against his skin would spark instead of slice.” Like an idiot, Quinton believes him. Until Lottie’s parents die unexpectedly and he comforts her and kisses her.
Every young man in a regency romance with a strong desire to deny their feelings and erect a wall around their heart must have an older advisor who advises them poorly. Quinton’s advisor is his father’s old friend, Barnaby. “A fellow with a visage to make any celebration a funeral.”
Even though it happened years earlier, neither Lottie nor Quinton can get that kiss out of their heads. But because Quinton disappeared after that, and basically ignored Lottie, she is determined to cut him from her heart and marry someone she’ll never love as much as him. At the same time, Quinton decides he needs to marry, but he clearly tells Lottie he will never marry her. And then, his mother asks for Lottie’s help in planning events to which she can invite potential brides. Quinton doesn’t like that idea at all. How can he forget about her if she’ll be there every time he tries to consider someone else? He’ll tell her he doesn’t want her to help his mother. When Quinton approaches Lottie on the street unexpectedly, she says, “The gates of Hell are open today?”
Quinton is persistent, insisting he must speak with her, likely to tell her he doesn’t want her helping his mother find him a wife, and she observes: “That voice. Hard and annoyed and accompanied by a grin both sharp and feral, likely capable of tearing skin with the ease of an ax shredding a single slip of paper.” Lottie explains she will continue to help his mother, but not to worry because she is considering three potential suitors and has no interest in him herself.
Naturally, Quinton isn’t happy about any of Lottie’s potential suitors and dubs Lord Phillipspots, Lord Pisspot. At a ball, Quinton spies on Lottie while she tries to obtain a kiss from one of the men courting her and describes it, “...that meeting place between lips. Barely a meeting at all. More of a how do you do while waving as they passed one another on the street.” He compares it to the one they shared and knows the man doesn’t stand a chance.
Later that night, in a state of inebriation, he chases away one of Lottie’s suitors and confesses his desire to kiss her. He steps all the way up to the line, crowding her, breathing her breath, but doesn’t quite kiss her. Later, when she thinks about the kiss she received from her second suitor, she thinks, “She could marry a kiss like that. And yet, it paled in comparison to not being kissed by Quinton…In his not-kiss she’d felt more promise for the bedroom than in any of the three attempts made by the other men.”
Charlie Lane has a great ability to use wordplay. And I love wordplay. These few stood out to me. The next time Lottie sees Quinton, “His attention bounced about the room, unsettled and unsettling.” And then, after showing a bit of care and consideration, Quinton backs away and says something dismissive. “From thoughtful to thoughtless in less than a breath.” Yet later: Lottie and Quinton end up fooling around, almost like it’s a challenge gone too far. As she strokes him, he thinks, “He didn’t want this, didn’t want her touch. Didn’t want to have to lie to himself about not wanting it.” Struggling to fight his attraction to Lottie, he thinks, “He’ll get her an ice, then fashion his heart of that substance as well.” The ice idea doesn’t work. When Lottie senses Quinton’s hesitation to leave her side, “She wanted to dance around his hard hesitation, erect a monument to it.” I don’t think the wording is coincidental, and I found the wordplay quite clever. Charlie Lane is also clever when it comes to sentence structure and balance like in this simple statement: “‘Shall I stop,’ he asked, not stopping.”
Watching Quinton attempt to socialize with the women his mother invited as potential brides, Lottie is beside herself with jealousy. “She ripped a book from the nearby bookcase but could not read it. The same sentence knocked at her brainbox several times, but no matter how many times she saw it on the page, she never came closer to understanding it.”
Lottie has already written off two of her three suitors, so when the third proposes to her, she wants a kiss before agreeing. She wonders why he won’t kiss her, and it’s because of her brother’s stupid guide which advises against kissing until after a proposal is accepted. Lottie doesn’t understand this and shocks her suitor with her question. “She’d not known that question had been sitting so lightly on her tongue until it had dropped into the air.” He holds firm and she turns down his proposal.
Finally admitting to herself that Quinton is the only one she wants, Lottie takes notes on a copy of Samuel’s manual. One of the suggestions is competition. Lottie considers how to make herself seem better than his other prospects. She doesn’t like the idea of competition arguing, “She didn’t want to put other women to shame, to point out their flaws, and present herself as superior. She too had flaws. Many. She’d much rather hold them up, help them to shine.” This speaks to her character and tells the reader exactly what kind of person she is.
Lottie blatantly tells Quinton that she intends to court him because “I want you to belong to me.” As the night goes on, he can’t get that thought out of his head and cannot wait for the guests to leave so he “could pack himself up into a coach with a crate of whiskey, tell the driver to dump him and the crate over the edge of the known universe, and drink himself into stupor on the way there.” He’s overwhelmed because he still believes Barnaby, who has told him not to get involved with Lottie.
Quinton’s mom seems clueless to the undercurrent between Lottie and Quinton and gushes that soon she and Lottie will be planning an engagement ball for him. “He nodded and returned her smile, but it felt like a twisted wound across his face.”
I laughed out loud on more than one occasion while reading this book, and it wasn’t just the dialogue. Quinton is not happy about this whole courting process, especially when he’s too busy fighting his attraction to Lottie. Told to consider his visage in his interactions with others, “Quinton’s scowl deepened for a moment, and then it smoothed out. Or attempted to. He didn’t quite succeed. He merely looked less like an angry vengeful bear and more like a bear that had eaten something which did not agree with his stomach.”
And what story is complete without a bit of foreshadowing, in this instance sounding pithy and memorable: “...he held her heart, her love, in his palm and did not even know it. How easy to be careless with something you did not know you possessed.” Sure enough, something happens just prior to the wedding, and although Quinton wouldn’t dream of leaving her at the altar, he is in a hurry to leave immediately after the ceremony and doesn’t tell her why. Of course, she knows something is wrong throughout the ceremony, and then, “...apparently, they were married, and he was escorting her down the aisle as if flames licked up the sides of the pulpit, stretching long, fiery arms after them.” As Quinton dashes off to take care of something obviously important that he doesn’t take the time to explain to her, she pulls herself together and plays hostess, making an innocuous comment about an emergency that called Quinton away but which she’s certain he’ll handle efficiently.
Lottie proves that strong women are women who are brave enough to love, even when the object of their affection is too block-headed to realize he loves them right back. Lottie’s many actions demonstrate her independence of thought and action, her willingness to show her anger and state her needs, and her courage to fight for what she wants. Quinton didn’t stand a chance. Lucky man.

A steamy story. The second in this series, about a Duke trying to marry off his sisters who have an interesting side line. Lotte is a determined character and seems to have changed from how she was in book 1, where she was the tranquil, apparently well behaved sister. She rapidly becomes very forceful in this. There is humour in the story as Quintin and she try to sort out their feelings. I thought Quintin was being too manipulated by Barnaby, and now older would have put him in his place. It would have been nice to have had a line about what happened to him. There were numerous bits that wouldn’t have happened, such as Lotte spending the night before her wedding in the hotel, her family not knowing. There are also occasions when she and her sisters seem to go off without chaperones etc etc. However given the humour I did not mind as I might have done, and accepted it in the spirit of the story. I enjoyed the book, marginal if it was a 3 or 4 star but went for the latter, just.

How to Romance a Roque is book two in A Gentleman’s Guide to Courtship Series by Charlie Lane. I knew I was going to love this series because book one was amazingly delicious but she has surpassed my expectations with Lottie and Quinton’s story. I love a good childhood friends to lovers story but this one was absolutely my favorite!
Lady Charlotte Merriweather, Lottie has been in love with Quinton Chance, Viscount Noble since she was sixteen years old. When Quinton lost his father and was grieving Lottie comforted him as he was crying and gifted him a puppy. Barnaby, his father’s friend witnesses them together and isn’t happy. He tells him he has to grow up, be strong, and stay away from Lottie because she has witnessed his vulnerability and she makes him weak.
When her parents die he wants to make her feel better so he kisses her, apologizes and runs away. One little kiss that changes so much for Quinton. He just can’t forget that kiss or Lottie but decides a society marriage is what he needs to move on and forget Lottie. It gets interesting when his mother asks Lottie for help in planning events for Quinton to meet potential brides.
Lottie has given up on a future with Quinton and with the mandate by her brother, the Duke of Clearford that she and her oldest sister’s marry she has decided to forget him and choose from the men currently courting her. She really tries to like her suitors but something is missing, they aren’t Quinton. But when she realizes his barbs actually hide tender feelings for her she decides to fight for a future with him. I loved Lottie when she decides to court him and drive him mad it was so much fun.
I adored how Quinton was saying one thing but his actions told a very different story. I felt the tenderness and love he had for Lottie even though he was trying to think with his brain and the idiotic advice from Barnaby and not his heart. There was plenty of emotional turmoil between these two but the love they had for each other wins out in the end.
There is so much to love about this awesome story, Charlie Lane has given us another intriguing story with exceptional characters, laugh out loud situations, tenderness, love, passion, vulnerability, misguided advice, and an emotional roller coaster that ends perfectly.
I had difficulty writing this review because I wasn’t sure I could adequately express just how much this story touched me and how much I enjoyed it. I cannot wait to see what surprises she has for us in the rest of the series.

Lady Charlotte Merriweather, Lottie has been in love with Quinton Chance, Viscount Noble since she was sixteen years old. When Quinton lost his father and was grieving Lottie comforted him as he was crying and gifted him a puppy. Barnaby, his father’s friend witnesses them together and isn’t happy. He tells him he has to grow up, be strong, and stay away from Lottie because she has witnessed his vulnerability and she makes him weak.
When her parents die he wants to make her feel better so he kisses her, apologizes and runs away. One little kiss that changes so much for Quinton. He just can’t forget that kiss or Lottie but decides a society marriage is what he needs to move on and forget Lottie. It gets interesting when his mother asks Lottie for help in planning events for Quinton to meet potential brides.

Lady Charlotte and Quinton, Viscount Noble, have known each other since childhood. She was the one to bring him a little cheer at his father’s funeral - the same day he was told to put his heart to sleep and never show weakness again. He was her first kiss after her parents’ funeral four years later, and then he ran away.
For the next years, their paths barely crossed. She was busy with her secret erotic lending library and stealing kisses, and he was off, dutiful Lord by day and dashing rake by night.
At thirty Quinton needs a wife. A nice cold marriage of convenience that won’t interfere with his duties, provide an heir and ban Lottie from his mind once and for all.
For Lottie no one but Quinton will ever do. Only, her brother, the Duke of Clearford, set a deadline for the end of her and her sisters spinster existence. Either they all find husbands themselves, or he would coach one to find them.
And that’s how they come face to face again on the battlefield that is the marriage mart - both determined to marry anyone but each other!
📚 As you can guess, this is a lost cause from the start, but boy of boy, the fight they put up is excellent! They push each other’s buttons for sport, and they most certainly know what (and where) they are! He’s possessive and jealous, but also endearingly attentive to her and stubbornly set on resisting temptation. She’s clever and resourceful - her literary education made her just daring enough to throw him of balance. It’s all so charming, witty and steamy once she pushes him too far.
Bickering, sarcastic sneers, running interference, provoking, tempting, teasing and since they’re both absolutely incapable ignoring a challenge, this all leads to some wicked, awkward and funny situations. Truly a captivating and entertaining tale!
This would have been a perfect 5-star read, but for a small thing that left me wanting… All throughout the story I was hoping for something to happen, and it didn’t. Well, it did a little, but I feel there was a lot more meat to it.
But, you should definitely find out for yourself and read this marvelous story!

We first met Lottie in the first book of this series, Never Woo the Wrong Lady, and she was suffering from unrequited love for a man that had apparently led her on at some point in their lives then had dropped her like hot potato. Fool, him.
With this book, we get the whole story. We get to see the first kiss six years ago, the circumstances that surrounded it, the fallout from it, and the reason Quinton set Lottie to the side. Then we get to see what happens years later when his mother asks Lottie to help her plan parties and events to introduce Quinton to perspective brides. Meanwhile, Lottie is looking for a husband. Kill two birds with one stone; everybody wins…until Quinton decides he doesn’t want her around and tells her so.
There were some parts of this story that had me laughing out loud. Other parts made me question the intelligence of the characters, but considering what was driving them, it all made sense. This is a classic case of unrequited love for Lottie and Quinton. It would’ve been so easy for them to slide into love, but if that had happened, there wouldn’t have been the longing, angst, jealousy, scandal, off-the-charts steam between Lottie and Quinton, and the camaraderie between Lottie and her sisters.
I wanted them to get their happily ever after. I cheered for them when he stood with her after a big scandal. It was past the point of being mere chivalry or being a gentleman. It was a case of unspoken, denied love come alive, it was magnificent.
I’m usually turned off by headstrong, too-independent heroines, and I did think Lottie overstepped more than a few times, but she had to take the bull by the horns to make things happen. She didn’t know what she was up against and I had to give her kudos for hanging in there.
This book is an easy five stars and I’m excited for the next book.

Childhood friends to suppressed love as adults
Lottie and Quinton grew up on neighboring estates and comforted one another during each of their lowest times as young adults. 6-10 years later, Lottie hasn’t given up on her unrequited love for Quinton despite his attempts to push Lottie away so he can try to convince himself he doesn’t care.
Definitely a case of a hero who has it bad for a heroine but has his head in the sand and needs a big push. There was a bit too much longing for me, I got impatient waiting on something to give. Once it did though, I enjoyed the continued push and pull that Quinton experienced on overcoming the chauvinist teachings of his mentor.
I really liked Lottie, she was the strong and intelligent eldest sister that took the brunt of responsibility for her sisters. She suffers from megrims and I loved the way Quinton knew from her facial expressions and body posture when one was coming on. Caring for her and knowing her cues, he was only ever fooling himself.
Book three is Prudence’s and there’s some foreshadowing for her story in this one. The book teases between two gentlemen for a reluctant bride that has me intrigued.
How to Romance a Rogue is the second book in the Gentleman’s Guide to Courtship.
There are three encounters.

Does Love Make You Weak?
It started with a kiss with these two childhood friends, but Quinton had a taskmaster who told him that Charlotte would make him weak. He promised his father on his deathbed not to show weakness, and his father’s friend was there to ensure he fulfilled his promise. He told him that Charlotte made him weak and that he must learn from his father’s story. His love of Quinten’s mother nearly destroyed him, but did Quinton have to follow in his father’s footsteps? Whether love made him weak or not, Charlotte would not leave his mind and heart despite all his efforts. He was going to marry for duty, not love. Would anything convince him to take a chance on love? Would he ever believe that love made you stronger, not weaker? Charlotte was no wilting flower. At first, she would entertain suitors she did not love. Then, she realized that love was worth the risk. She would fight for Quinten with everything she had. Would she win the war? I found the story delightfully entertaining and would recommend it to lovers of steamy, historical romance.

I Most Definitely Enjoyed this One!
I sat reading with baited breath every time the Merriweather girls' secret was almost let slip and only breathed easily again once the panic was averted.
In this, a delicious friends to lovers story, we continue the search of a husband for each of the girls (with the "use" and sometimes misuse of the brother's book, 'The Gentleman's Guide to Courtship' and this time it is Lottie who is the main feature.
What an adventure in cover-ups this story turned out to be! Besides that, it is full of some very funny scenes, some of passion, others about family ties and commitment and the cherry on the top is the love which blossoms between the two main characters!
All of this is woven together into an easily read book which kept me turning pages to find out what would happen next.
I read an ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of this amusing book and am happy to leave my review of it.

Lottie and Quinton have been friends all their lives. After his father’s death, Quinton became distant. Now that he has decided to marry, he is determined not to show weakness by falling in love. Lottie scoffs at this idea. She agrees to help Quinton’s mother organize meet and greets, and then she gets an unconventional idea. In the second story in the A Gentleman’s Guide to Courtship series, there is a bit of a twist. If her brother’s guide works for gentlemen, maybe it will work for a lady, Lottie, who wants to woo and win the love of her life. Now the fun starts. Will her efforts bring Merriweather and Chance to their happily ever after? This is a wonderful story with entertaining and fun characters. There is a somewhat confused hero (for a while) and a determined heroine, who bicker and swap snarky and witty banter. An enjoyable addition to the series! I look forward to what come next.

DNF at 47%.
I didn't find the "relationship" between the leads to be romantic, interesting, or held any promise of being so.
The male lead was mean, cruel, disingenuous, and tedious (not in a good way). The female lead, for all the constant descriptions of her strength, repeatedly put herself in a position to be abused by this dude. Even after she made her play, he was insistent that there was not nor would there be anything between them. Yet she continued to show up, continued to force him to speak to her, and continued to attempt a physical relationship.
Oddly enough, I'm not seeing any other reviewers pointing out the hypocrisy of this. Had the male lead continually pushed the female lead in the same ways, it would definitely be considered stalking, harassment, and possibly abuse. Yes, it's a Regency era romance, but still.
I didn't see the "charm" in the story. There didn't appear to be much hope that the dynamics would change, so I stopped reading.

Charlie Lane never ceases to amaze me. Her writing is always gorgeous and this book in particular is so very good, with tender moments, funny scenes and the right dose of angst. The only downside is the utter idiocy of the hero… I wanted to bash him in the head to make him see some sense almost until the last page! And yes, he was very young when he started all this nonsense, but heavens, he was impossible!
Lottie on the other end is wonderful and all too patient with him.
This series is perfection so far and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the other sisters, and the Duke, of course!

This is a nice story about Quinton and Lottie. They were childhood friends and grew up next to each other. When Quinton’s father passed away, his father’s friend helped guide Quinton. He wanted to Quinton to stay strong and not be weak to a woman he might care for. Lottie shared her first kiss with Quinton, from then on, she loved him, as for Quinton, he could not get her kiss off his mind, so he ignored her. He decides it is time to marry but he will marry anyone he does not love, so Lottie is out of the running. This story is about Lottie trying her best to make Quinton show he cares and to show him how much she cares. This is a nice story written by a nice author.

I was definitely entertained by this story. It made me laugh, cry, and even occasionally want to strangle the hero. Friends from childhood, Charlotte and Quinton shared a kiss that for her was unforgettable and sealed the deep affection she had for Quinton. But because of a deathbed promise to his father, Quinton had to stay away from the only women that could bring him to his knees and make him weak (with desire). Charlotte tries to convince Quinton that love is a strength, not a weakness as his father claimed. Misguided and confused at first, finally Quinton realized that Charlotte was who he wanted and loving her would only make him stronger.

A strong woman with her own opinions, Lady Charlotte keeps waiting for Quinton, Viscount Noble, to do more than acknowledge her existence. Everytime she thinks she's broken through to the man who kissed her when she was sixteen and he was barely twenty, he closes off. Maybe she needs to court him. She does have those secret books with illustrations. Her seduction seems to be going well, until her reputation and her sisters' are ruined, or will Quinton save the day?
Very steamy,funny and sometimes sad.

Quinton and Lottie were childhood friends until he messed up with a kiss and then distanced himself from her. Now she is helping his mother find him a wife and the hateful banter was so funny I was snort/giggling constantly. I love how they call each other Meriweather and Chance. The story is so well written I can’t wait for more of the series to unfold.

Charlie Lane books are pure delight! This one is no exception, having wonderful characters with great dialogue and banter, and a sizzling romance. I loved every page of it even if the Viscount was too stubborn to learn that his mentor had led him astray in believing that loving someone would make him weak. Thank goodness for Lottie’s patience and unconditional love for her misguided soulmate.

What a great book to read! Full of ups & downs, laughter & tears, joy & sorrow. I loved the romance story between Quinton & Lottie, both so strong and one too stubborn to realize what the feelings were.

I really did enjoy this, but it took awhile to get started. It didn't get good until 40% of the way in. Downgraded to 3 stars because of it.
