Bernadette Baxter, la más joven de las cuatro hermanas Baxter, es conocida en todo Hatfield por sus remedios herbales, su ingenio rápido y su corazón compasivo. Ya sea preparando pastillas, acomodando huesos rotos o entregando tés de hierbas, Bernadette se ha ganado la confianza y la dependencia de los habitantes del pueblo. Pero cuando un nuevo médico llega al lugar, su posición en la comunidad se ve repentinamente amenazada.
El Dr. Glynn Williams ha visto su parte de heridas del campo de batalla y está decidido a traer la medicina moderna a Hatfield. Sin embargo, su llegada se encuentra con la resistencia de Bernadette, cuya fuerte voluntad y conocimientos en herbolaria desafían todo lo que él cree sobre la curación. Su rivalidad genera mucha tensión – y más que un poco de atracción – mientras chocan por pacientes, prácticas médicas y la obstinada creencia de que saben lo que es mejor.
Cuando Bernadette y Glynn se ven obligados a trabajar juntos, su animosidad comienza a transformarse en admiración. Pero con la fuga de Napoleón de Elba proyectando una sombra sobre Inglaterra y el padre de Bernadette aún desaparecido en Francia, ambos enfrentan desafíos que amenazan con separarlos. ¿Podrán Bernadette y Glynn encontrar un terreno común – y el amor – antes de que el deber y el peligro los alejen el uno del otro?
Adéntrese en el encantador mundo de la Inglaterra de la Regencia con esta serie ingeniosa y conmovedora sobre la familia, el amor y el valor que se necesita para seguir el corazón.
Las Bellas de la Librería es una serie de romances históricos dulces, sin contenido sexual explícito.
I've been writing since I was 5 years old. I've always had to set it aside and try to concentrate on so-called 'real life' though. I've had a number of interesting careers - engineer, real estate sales agent, owner of an electrical goods store, silversmith - but finally the time has come for me to return to my first love. Writing.
I've always loved the works of Jane Austen, so perhaps it's fitting that my first published work should be a variation on the much beloved Pride And Prejudice.

Bernadette has been acting as herbalist for the town, growing and supplying concoctions for the local apothecary for years. It's logical that she would clash with the town's new, young doctor, Glynn Williams, who gives little credence to old fashioned remedies.
With her three sisters now married, Bernadette is now in sole charge of the book shop, and still must deal with cruel relatives, a serious problem with the vicar's daughter, and the Baxter's missing father. Loose ends are tied in this last book of the series, which has been delightful.
All four covers of this series are brilliant. They even reflect Crafty the cat's evolving story. 4.5 stars
A most enjoyable final installment of The Bookshop Belles. I loved the challenges and obstacles to Bernadette and Glynn's romance and how the whole series concluded. Crafty the cat created problems as usual, and the family rallied to help in the end. I highly recommend the series of entertaining Regency Romances.
This series has just about everything, mystery, danger, sweet love stories and villains you will love to hate! If you like swoon worthy heroes and strong heroines with sweet love stories this will definitely not disappoint.
(My 4 stars is probably your 5.) Unable to review timely in detail, but I enjoyed this series of prequel+4 books, which should be read in order -- you'll want to find out what happens to all the sisters!
