To Charm a Lady

Title: To Charm a Lady

Series: The Cartwells #2

Author: Joanna Barker

Source: Library

My Review:

To Charm a Lady is the second book in The Cartwells duology. They don't have to be read in order, but you will enjoy them more if you do read them in order.

Edenbrooke

Title: Edenbrooke

Series: Edenbrooke #1

Author: Julianne Donaldson

Source: Library

My Review:

I have a confession to make. This book has been on my "want to read" list for years. After checking it out of the library multiple times, including on Hoopla, and never reading it, I decided I didn't want to read it. Then, I decided to give it one more try. You all, I almost missed a fabulous book because of some weird mood I had previously been in!!

Sense and Suitability

Title: Sense and Suitability

Author: Pepper Basham

Narrators: Fiona Hardingham and Christopher Ashman

Publisher: Thomas Nelson Audible Audio

Genre: Regency, Christian Fiction, Christian Romance, Classic Retelling,

Source: Net Galley

RELEASES: October 14, 2025

My Review:

I did not like Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. But when I saw Pepper Basham had a book coming out loosely based on it, I knew I had to read Sense and Suitability. Why? Because Pepper Basham wrote it. Also, this is Basham's first foray into the Regency genre.

Enchanting the Heiress

Title: Enchanting the Heiress

Series: Hearts on the Heath #3

AuthorKristi Ann Hunter

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Historical, Christian Fiction, Regency, Romance

Source: Library

My Review:

Enchanting the Heiress is the third and final book in the Hearts on the Heath series. It can be read as a standalone novel, but I recommend reading the first two books, or at least the second, as Jonas and Harriet are first introduced in those books. It will give you a broader understanding of their character and interactions with their friends.

Winning the Gentleman

Title: Winning the Gentleman

Series: Hearts on the Heath #2

AuthorKristi Ann Hunter

Narrator: Ann Marie Gideon

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Historical, Christian Fiction, Regency, Romance

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

Winning the Gentleman is the second book in the Hearts on the Heath series. While it could be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading Vying for the Viscount first, as that is where we are first introduced to Aaron Whitworth (our mmc).

Technically, this is the second in the series. The first book is The Blackmailed Bride, and follows Marcus's sister, Olivia. I loved that book, so I picked this one up to read.
