How to Live Happily Ever After by Bree Wolf is a charming novella about love at first sight, at least on the part of Grant, the Earl of Wentford. He saw Agnes and he knew. She didn't believe him. She thought it was a wager or a joke. But he kept after her. It took a week and sixteen proposals. On proposal seventeen she accepted. This was a fun, witty story, as unlikely as they come. Nessa (Agnes) is a 29-year-old spinster. Grant is the new earl. His mother has other ideas. It was not deep. It was not dramatic. It was pure entertainment. I loved it!

This is an absolutely charming story with loads of humor and loveable characters. Agnes can’t believe Grant is serious about courting her, and certainly not about marrying her. Grant fell in love with Agnes, whom he calls Nessa, at first sight. There is one determined suitor, one confounded lady, two meddling mamas, and one sweet papa. The story is simple with a few side-steps and lots of fun. So, how do you get that happily ever after? Persistence! If you enjoyed Ness and Grant in How to Wake a Sleeping Lady, you’ll this one. It’s the story of how it all began.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

I found this gentle Regency romance sweet and heartwarming, as Grant, Lord Wentford pursues the proclaimed spinster Miss Agnes Bottombrook. One look at Agnes and he knows with absolute conviction that he has found the woman he wants to marry. Unfortunately, he not only has to get past Agnes's reservations but his mother's machinations as well. As his mother plows forth with her own plans, not caring one bit about the hearts she is shredding in the process, Grant quietly goes about winning his reluctant lady's heart. This gentle romance is well written and tender and comes to a happy conclusion. I received a copy of this novel as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

An absolutely delightful read!
This book will have you engaged and smiling, waiting to see what is coming next with in the first few pages. The characters are enjoyable and unexpected. The plot keeps you waiting and wondering what comes next. Agnes is a spinster, firmly on the shelf at twenty-nine with no prospects. She had watched Grant, the Earl of Wentford, for years but knew that she was not someone he would want. When Grant sees her, really sees her, he immediately decides she is the only one for him. However, when he approaches her at a ball, she rebuffs him soundly and he must be very persistent to even get a dance. How can he possibly win her heart and hand when she is convinced that he is only interested in her to win a bet or manipulate her in some way. Mix in two scheming mothers with their own agenda, another couple too shy to approach each other, and a loving father to get a fun often unexpected story to thoroughly enjoy. I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

He was in love. Grant, Lord Wentford, had found his forever mate. She was not as sure as he. Agnes Bottombrook believes she is the object of Grant’s colleagues latest wager. But finding his love translates into never accepting no for an answer.
Nessa, his pet name for her, and Grant begin the dance of courtship, which is as wonderful and heartening as it sounds. It even catches the eye and approval of her father, who lost his own love many years ago. But not everyone is as happy as the three of them. Just who and why would they interrupt a beautiful courtship?
This book is the beginning of the love between Nessa and Grant, whose story continued in “How To Wake A Sleeping Lady”.

I received "How To Live Happily Ever After " from Netgalley and voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Bree Wolf is an out of this world, wonderful author.
For Grant Barrett, Earl of Wentford, it's love at first sight. For Agnes Bottombrook, an older spinster,  it's probably a trick or a bet that a younger handsome Earl wants to marry her
An absolutely lovely story with a beautiful witty dialogue. This is actually a prequel to the the very first book in the series which I re-read once more just to fall in love all over again with the characters.

What a treat to read how Nessa and Grant initially met and fell in love. I enjoyed the story so much that, once finished, I went back and read How to Wake a Sleeping Lady again just to continue the story!
Bree is a marvel and every book is a joy to read.
Thank you Bree Wolf, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.

Miss Agnes Bottombrook accepted long ago that she would never marry. Not even when she was still young did gentlemen see anything in her that would appeal to them. Now, at nine-and-twenty years of age, all hope is lost and Agnes is on the shelf for good. Then out of nowhere, the rakishly handsome and young Lord Wentford asks Agnes who he calls Nessa for a dance, shocking not only Agnes but all of London society, most of all, his own mother. Certain that his intentions are far from honourable, Agnes tries her utmost to rebuff Grant and reveal him as a scoundrel.
A delightful short story, it can easily be read on its own but if you’re new to the series I'd recommend reading before How to Wake a Sleeping Lady. Grant fell in love with Agnes/Nessa at first sight & was determined to marry her & proposed everyday. A fun entertaining read, which had me smiling, I love interfering women & we have two in this book
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

I would suggest reading this book before reading HOW TO AWAKEN A SLEEPING LADY.
At 29 years old, Miss Agnes Bottombrook considers herself an old spinster and lost her chance for a husband, children and love. At a ball, Grant, Lord Wentford, notices Agnes for the first time. She's perfect and he wants to marry her right away. Only Agnes/Nessa is suspicious and thinks it's some kind of bet or joke. She's not convinced Grant is sincere. He won't give up, until she says yes to his proposal, a proposal he asks her everyday. Grant is one persistent dude! Guess how many times he has to ask before she says yes? 4 1/2*STARS *
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

I recieved a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a short novella and that was the only way I able to get through this.
I usually really like Bree Wolf but this novella was ridiculous.
Other books have insta love but this literally had Grant proposing immediately after meeting Agnes who he calls Nessa.
On the first page he sees her for the first time and decides he will marry her.
And apparently their is another story after their wedding.
