Welcome to Book One in the fabulous new Book of Love series. A dingy old book tucked away in an old Regency London bookshop holds magic and love for those who use the 'recipes'! 

When Lady Olivia Gosling finds The Book of Love in a musty bookshop, she is most eager to try out its love “recipes” on someone safe. 

Did she say safe? 

Well, Beast isn’t really safe, but with her odious guardian about to marry her off to one of his unsavory friends, Olivia needs her childhood friend to fall in love with her... fast. If Beast can love her, then any man she chooses will surely do the same. 

Alexander Beastling, Duke of Hartford, is known as Beast among the ton. He is big and muscled, and there is a dark aura of mystery about him that he makes no effort to dispel. Now that he’s returned from battle, he’s appalled to learn of the marriage plans Lady Olivia’s loathsome guardian has for her. Beast has decided that he will help her find a proper husband, even if it means putting up with her ridiculous experiments taken out of a book she refers to as The Book of Love. Olivia calls them magical recipes for love. 

Is it possible they actually work? Because suddenly, Beast can’t seem to get Olivia out of his mind... or his heart. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Lady Olivia Gosling needs to marry quickly before her awful guardian forces her to take a man of his choosing.  She's heard about a book that will help her find out what she needs to know to make a man fall in love with her.  An old friend has also managed to get her away from the city for a week with a group of her very best friends. 
Alexander Beastling,  the Duke of Hartford is a recently returned war hero.  The highest in the land have big expectations of him.  Marriage to a worthy woman and maybe a very influential job.  His natural protective instinct rushes to the surface when he learns an old friend is hurting. 
Both our lead characters are surprisingly honest in what they want, and how they feel.  They have known each other most of their lives so putting the other before themselves is normal for them both. 
There is lots of fun and a little danger.  All the characters are really interesting and I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series.
