“Puglisists were not men of good standing, they were desperate men from the working class who risked their lives fighting for money and a moment of fame, not gentlemen with dimples in their cheeks and eyes that brightened when they smiled.”

When Rosalind Newbury was young, her aunt encouraged her to make a list of things she wanted to do before she married. With her marriage approaching, Ros began to feel uneasy, as though there was something missing or maybe she’s not quite ready to make this leap. So she resolves to finish The List. The only problem? Her best friend is occupied with entertaining her infuriating puglisist cousin for the summer and when the first thing Ros attempts to cross off her list nearly results in her drowning, she knows there’s no way she can do this alone.

So she recruits the infuriating puglists cousin (Charlie Winston) to help her, instead. Only Charlie is not the arrogant rake that first impressions seemed to suggest.

I loved every minute of this story. With my long TBR sometimes I lose sight of why I read and books become, ‘just another one to get off the list’. With “Miss Newbury’s List,” I made the deliberate decision to savor the act of reading and not just the act of pressing ‘read’ on Goodreads.
The result? You cannot imagine my dismay at how quickly the halfway mark descended upon me.

This story was an utter delight. There’s something about how Megan Walker writes relationship dynamics that just really *works*. Whether it’s between siblings, cousins, friends or family, the tensions and push and pull of their relationships were so tangible and ‘real’.

Charlie is the very definition of ‘looks like he could kill you, is a cinnamon roll,” (iykyk), and I absolutely adore the friendship that developed between him and Rosalind. I loved how they were able to be silly with each other one moment, and have deep, hard conversations the next. I’m sure I spent half the book grinning to myself. If Rosalind isn’t smitten with this puglisist, I sure am.

If you're looking for your next “cozy read,” this is it.

I was so wonderfully give this book from NetGalley for an honest review!

Oh My Freaking Word. This is everything. We have banter, charm, the regency era stuff, the gown, the romance. I loved it all. The writing was amazing and the plot was amazing. The main character, Rosalind, is so much fun and very relatable. I could connect with her and her family was so sweet. I loved Liza and Charlie had me sobbing over how sweet he was. Charlie is what ever women should look for in a husband- he funny, sweet, and cares about what Rosalind wanted. I loved everything about this book and read it so much quicker than I have been reading.

This is my all time favorite book, the plot was so engaging and the characters were rich! I drew out my reading of this book because I didn't want it to end. I'm a major fan of Megan Walker and I'll read anything that she writes, she truly has a gift! I fell in love from the very first page until the end, I wish I could give this 10 stars!

This book was amazing and deserves all the stars! It was funny, charming and just so sweet. I wasn’t sure if this could top Lakeshire Park but I think it just might have. The chemistry between the characters just flew off the page. Megan Walker has quickly become an auto buy author for me and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Thank you Net Galley for the ARC of this book.

Delightful! I had high expectations after reading Lakeshire Park by this author, and I was not disappointed! I loved Ros and Charlie’s story. Charlie has such a good heart. And the friendships and family ties throughout the book were almost as good as the romance.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an arc of this book! The review is entirely my own opinions.

"Miss Newbury's List" by Megan Walker follows Rosalind Newbury in her final weeks before she marries a duke 10 years her senior. It is her duty to do so to elevate her family's status in society. But, how can she marry a man that she doesn't know? How can she marry so soon when she hasn't even begun to live? She finds a wish list that she's created since childhood and is determined to complete the list and live a little before taking on responsibilities as a duchess. She enlists her best friend Liza and Liza's cousin Charlie, who happens to be a boxer, to help her complete the list. As their adventure progresses, sparks fly between her and Charlie which causes her to ponder if she should put her duty to her family or her happiness first.
-This book was a delightful and quick read. It was so easy to get caught up in the shenanigans of the characters and journey along with them on this adventure. I did find that I struggled a bit with the characters maturity, they seemed so young to be taking on such major responsibilities, but I know that is how it was in that era. The supporting characters were exactly that. This story was about Rosalind and Charlie, and as lead characters, they held their own.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a bit of Regency with clean romance!

This was a lovely book! I loved the concept of the list and it was so fun to read about Rosalind accomplishing each goal. The romance was so sweet! Also this is kind of random but I love all of the characters’ names haha Megan Walker is an amazing author who knows how to write the cutest scenes and compelling characters! Rosalind’s relationships with her family were so endearing. There were also so many scenes that made me laugh. If you loved Lakeshire Park like I did, definitely put this at the top of your list!

I received an early copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley. I was kot required to post a positive review.

What a beautifully written love story. I love the idea of a bucket list before she weds. This story had me laughing, crying, and quickly turning pages to find out what was next. I Definitely recommend this one.

Miss Newbury's List was such a sweet read! I can't wait for everyone to get their hands on it! The Romance between Rosalind and Charlie is beautifully written and felt real. It's amazing what a silly list could do! All the silly and sweet moments that they have together make up for a wonderful story, a heart skipping romance, and a brilliant book!

Thanks to Netgally and Shadow Mountain Publishing for an advanced copy of this marvelous read.

Such a sweet story. I loved this whole thing. The characters, the story and the writing. It was all very good. I couldn't predict what would happen. Charlie was such an amazing leading man. I just loved his need to help her with her list. This is a proper romance with some sweet kisses. I loved the growing love between them. You could feel it and see it unfold.

This book is a breath of nostalgia. Anyone who ever wrote a bucket list as a child can relate to Miss Newbury and her list of things she wants to do or accomplish before she gets married.

With her wedding date looming, Rosalind Franklin frantically for a list of things she wants to do before she becomes a duchess including learning how to swim and witnessing a scandal...

When I saw Megan Walker had a new book coming out, I jumped at the chance to read it as soon as possible. I couldn't have been more delighted with the story and the hours I spent within its pages. It's a beautiful story of redemption and self discovery wrapped up in a sweet love story!

I flew through this book in one day and was not disappointed!! Miss Newbury’s List is a sweet romance with vibrant characters and a steady plot that captivated me through the whole book. Character development is something that I often find missing or shallow in many historical romances, but this book does not fall into that category. The characters are not perfect saints, and show realistic personalities making Ros and Charlie perfect compliments for each other. This book is light enough to read after a long day, but also has depth and lots of heart and even some action! Highly recommend, will be keeping my eye on this author.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy!

You know the Christmas movie Elf, when Buddy is shouting "I'M IN LOVE, I'M IN LOVE AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT?!" I feel like this is the perfect way to describe how much I loved this book. I adored Rosalind and Charlie, I love seeing their relationship grow and change. It was fabulous!

This book was so great. I love Megan Walker's historical proper romances. They are well written with great Characters. I love the plot with Miss. Newberry trying to finish her list before she has to get married and in the process falls in love. If you love historical romances then you will love this book.

No surprise, this new Megan Walker regency romance is fantastic! Megan is an engaging and entertaining writer and this novel does not disappoint!

Rosalind Newbury must do what is best for her family. And what is best is marrying a neighboring duke to unite their families. She does not love him, but she does love her family. Remembering her aunt's advise from year prior, she finds a list of ten adventures to complete before she marries. She gets her neighbor and best friend, Eliza, to help in her endeavors, but that also includes her friends wayward cousin, Charlie.
Charlie Winston, is running away from his family and duty. He does not want the responsibility that has been given to him following the death of his brother. There is no way he can live up to his brother's example. Charlie finds himself at his cousins home, who is trying to reform him, and meets the beautiful and alluring Miss Newbury.
Intrigued by her and her list of adventures, he agrees to help finish the list before her wedding day.

This is a sweet story of a young woman, trying to do her family proud, but feeling lost. A true feeling for many of us today, trying to be something we are not, trying to fit in, or just trying to fill our souls.
Rosalind is to marry a Duke, but remembers a list of things she made when she was 12 to do before she is married. She determined to complete that list. Ros is full of life and spunk, and feels the completion of this list will make her complete and ready to move forward with the life her parents want for her.
But sometimes our lives go down different paths, and experiences change us, as happens with Ros. Her excitement for life and adventure introduce her to new ideas, but can it all work out?
This is sweet, clean, and a good book on realizing what is truly important in life and of trusting family, because you never know...

A solid 3 1/2 stars.

Rosalind is engaged to be married to a duke, much to her family's delight and advantage.

After finding an old list she wrote when she was only 12, inspired by an aunt who was bold, she decides to do everything on that list with her best friend Liza's help.

Liza's cousin Charlie is staying with the family after getting in trouble boxing, and he gets involved in helping Rosalind accomplish the items on said list.

I think I would have liked it better if Rosalind would have updated her list instead of stubbornly following everything she'd written as a child. It would have been more meaningful.
It has some funny scenes and tender moments, and kept me interested until the end.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

**I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher via NetGalley. While I am grateful for the early access, my opinions and words here are my own--as always.**

Miss Newbury's List was so good. I could create lots of hyperbole here to describe the complete satisfaction I had while reading it and at the last sentence, but I won't. Just know this was an enjoyable historical fiction with a good dose of romantic attraction and tension.

Rosalind is the eldest daughter of a gentleman and lady who obediently agrees to marry the duke her father has arranged for her to marry. The alliance would elevate her family's social standing, ensure her safety and security, open doors of opportunity for her brothers careers and marital matches as they came of age, and allow her to wield heavy influence in society her whole life. Without a season in London to find love on her own, skipping the middle madness of the season's marriage mart to go directly to the desired end seemed an obvious best choice.

Perhaps obvious is not always best. Rosalind had more she wanted to do with life before becoming an almost all-powerful duchess of duties to all but herself. Inspired by an idea shared at the wedding of a beloved aunt by the beloved aunt, Rosalind creates a list of ten things to do before she marries. She thought she'd have plenty of time to do those things. But the aforementioned shortcut to the marriage wiped out all the time she had planned on. Time to get down to business. Time to rope a friend, Liza, and her visiting cousin, Charlie, into the adventure.

Ready, set, go!

I always feel a bit guilty when I inhale a book so quickly when I know took the author a long time to write the drafts and suffer through all the edits. But glory it was good.

This was so much fun. I was super tempted at the 60% point to read the end to reassure myself this was worth the emotional investment. But I didn't. I kept reading.

The ending was nicely done. I'm not sharing anything here. Just...thank you, Megan, for making it happen as it did. I loved every character that was introduced and the way they gave insight into other characters and prior plot points.

Seriously, I have high praise for the crafting of it, the characters, the settings, pacing, and conflict.

As usual, there was a supporting character not given much page time, but just enough that I was curious about their background and future. I've already asked the author to please write their story ASAP.

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to rereading Rosalind's story more than once.

Stop it this book was so cute! Megan Walker wrote one of my top two favorite Regency romances ever so to say I was excited for a new book is a huge understatement! I am so happy to say I was not in any way disappointed. I absolutely devoured this one and enjoyed every moment. Charlie was so so so utterly swoony and sweet Rosalind - so much respect for her heart! I can't wait for everyone to read this one! Congrats to the author on knocking another one right out of the park!

Review with photo with be posted to IG closer to pub date.

I really loved this book! It was romantic, funny (it made me laugh out loud at parts), suspenseful, and beautifully written. Descriptive without being flowery or distracting. I love the characters that Megan Walker created. Lovely book that I recommend to any lovers of historical romances.
