Another winner! I loved the chemistry between Grace and Declan. In a race to find a stolen crown, they must team up to save Grace from being turned over to foreign enemies and save her name in the Ton. This story ha intrigue, danger and of corse a bit of romance with both loving the other, yet fearing reciprocation. Loved it yet again! Kudos Meara.
Thank you Meara Platt, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.

A Delightful Historical Romance with Intrigue

She found him in her bed, or did he find her in his? When Deklan came home, he had no idea he would find the woman he was seeking, right in his bed. It was all very innocent. Grace was a guest of his aunt’s, but she was exactly the woman he was looking for. He just didn’t realize his heart was looking for her, too. Deklan had the task of protecting Grace from ruthless agents, intent on capturing her. The two must find a very important crown—a crown the loss of which was causing a diplomatic incident. Would they find it? On their quest to find the crown, they would find love and adventure.

This is a delightful story. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to those who like historical romance with charm, humor, and intrigue.

The Book of Love series is going strong with the addition of this latest installment, The Miracle of Love. Grace and her family are paying the price of her father and brother's crimes. Her brother has stolen a priceless crown from a foreign royal house, and now Grace's life is in danger. Her brother's actions have caused her family to be ruined and disgraced. Foreign agents believe she knows where her brother has hidden the crown and wish to take her hostage in order to get it back. Deklan is the top agent for the Crown and is given a new assignment to retrieve the crown. He always meets with success as he doesn't let personal feelings get in the way of his work. But things are different with this new assignment which will affect his whole family and change his life. He needs to find that crown in order to keep Grace safe. He and Grace have one week to retrieve and return the crown before the foreign agents take her in their custody. The story is full of suspense and intrigue, and of course romance, as they work together to find the crown and solve the mystery, racing against time to keep Grace safe. Deklan and Grace had great chemistry and I easily got caught up in the danger and romance. The story kept me engaged from start to finish and was a delight to read. The series never fails to enchant and captivate and this book was no exception. A delightful addition to the series!

A royal crown, belonging to a foreign country, is stolen and could bring conflict between nations if not recovered. Deklan Quinton is a top agent and it's his job to recover the foreign country's crown and protect the young lady caught in the middle. Grace Montford has no idea what her father and step-brother have done with the crown. She knows their only objective is to hold it for ransom. It's a dangerous game they play putting Grace's life on the line. Deklan has no objections to protecting the lady, especially when the discussion involves the Book Of Love. A sweet amusing romance that has just a little danger in the background and a little heat.

This is a really fun, adorable quick romance read. The fifteenth instalment in the book of love series "The Miracle of Love" tells the love story of Grace and Deklan.

This story is really enjoyable and cute to read, it's also very fast paced so if you don't like reading slow burns this is perfect for you. The characters are so cute especially their moments together, this is overall just really easy reading good to just relax and read.

Meara Platt always does a wonderful way of story telling. Another great book in the series. A reluctant lover and an innocent, but lovely young woman. Both in love, neither recognize it. He is busy trying to save her from being kidnapped in retribution for something her father and half-brother did. And you know, well you'll have to read it. Amazing as always

This is such a fun, quick paced, insta love romance that has our couple on the run and tied up in a fake marriage in order to keep the heroine safe. This novel is full of delightful tropes that work beautifully together to create the perfect swoon-worthy escape. Meara Platt has such a wonderful tone to her books that quickly draw you in and keep you engaged and on a fun and wild ride. I love that I know exactly what to expect when I pick up a Platt novel and I am never disappointed! If you love a sweet and charming historical romance look no further than The Miracle of Love. This is the 15th book in The Book of Love series, and while it can be read as a stand alone, I do believe that you will have a better grasp on the underlining plot that drives the action of this story.

In this novel, Platt has gifted readers with a sweet and sheltered heroine who is learning to stand on her own two feet after the disgrace her brother and father have brought to their family name. Grace, is still kind and trust worthy and she learns to rely and trust others in order to stay safe. Deklan, is an agent of the crown, he is fearless and smart, and he will protect Grace to the best of his abilities. When these two meet, not only is their meet cute perfect hilarious, but their chemistry is off the charts. I loved watching the action of the plot force these two into tight situations where they have to fully rely on the other. I love that they both swiftly and steadily fall in love with the other. I love that they both work really well together and they both feel like equals throughout their situation. Meara Platt ramps up the sensuality throughout the novel and moments of physicality are beautiful markers to show the trust and love these two have for the other.

If you love Meara Platt and this series, you are going to be delighted with this installment. Each novel is a charming gift that I find such wonderful joy in. If you have not picked up a Platt novel I highly suggest starting at the top of this series and working your way through, you will not be disappointed!

How Meara Platt keeps coming up with such wonderful tales is beyond me. I loved the Leopard Tree analogy. So cute! This was very engaging and a page turner. I always enjoy her books they are just the right mix of intrigue and action and romance.
I recieved a free copy so that I might tell you what I honestly think. Hope you enjoyed my review. Now go enjoy the book.

The Miracle of Love by Meara Platt is another in the Book of Love series. It is not so different from any of the other books in the series, either in plot or character development. What makes it so fun to read is Meara Platt as the story teller. She is beyond good at it, between the details with which she imbues the story and just the personality she gives it. She was born to do this and I will keep reading as long as she keeps writing.

A reluctant lover and an innocent, but lovely young woman. Both in love, neither recognize it. He is busy trying to save her from being kidnapped in retribution for something her father and half-brother did. She is forced to face the reality of them as she never had before, but she doesn’t let it break her. She moves forward. People insult her in public and she rises to the occasion. Every time. He recognizes the close call he had with a woman to whom he had been attracted in the past. It’s all very fun, not to mention the chase: both of them.

I was invited to read a free e-ARC of the The Miracle of Love by Dragonblade, through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #Netgalley #Dragonblade #MearaPlatt #TheMiracleOfLove

When Deklan Quinton arrives at his aunt’s home, he finds two things in his bedroom, Grace Montford and the Book of Love. He might be in trouble. Grace’s father and brother have stolen some very valuable articles from some very powerful people. These people want to use Grace to get the property back. Deklan has been assigned to protect her. This is a delightful story. There is adventure, danger, and romance. Deklan and Grace are great characters. The chemistry between them is strong. As they race to recover the stolen art, they begin to fall to fall in love. It looks like the Book of Love has done it again. Enjoyable story.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily reviewing it.

Deklan and Grace may possibly be my favourite couple in this series.

He’s passionate and tough, so strong in every way, but he’s a pushover for Grace, that makes his character so perfect.
Grace is strong to but in different ways, she’s felt with so much and now is trying to save herself and her family.

The chemistry is off the charts and this book is written so beautifully, Meara is a wonderful author who I can’t get enough of.
I dread this series ending every time a read a book.
It would suit me if it continued indefinitely.
Awesome work Ms Platt , five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This novel was an enjoyable read in the Book of Love series. Another man and lady fall in love with each other from the moment they unexpectedly meet. She was just supposed to be an assignment, but ended up being so much more to him. She was only trying to save her family, but ended up falling in love with him. Who could marry someone with such scandal due to their family’s unethical choices? This novel was a nice holiday read, bringing two people together, one not looking for commitment due to his duty and the other hiding away from society due to her family’s shame. An adventure together brings them closer, for by only returning what was taken will set her free and allow them both to be with each other in the way they truly desire. I received this novel from net galley and the publisher. Thank you! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Deklan Quinton is the Crown's top agent, and when an international theft of a priceless international crown threatens to start a war, Deklan is assigned to protect Grace Montford, the daughter of the thief. Grace doesn't understand why she's in danger from foreign agents and has a hard time reconciling to the fact that Deklan is her protector until the incident is resolved, but the more time she spends with him, the more her heart is engaged. Can the delicate beauty tame the beast, or will Deklan leave her the minute the assignment is complete?

This was another cute story from Ms. Platt. I loved the opening scene when Deklan first becomes acquainted with Grace. That was both funny and touching, especially with the addition of his mother and aunt in the scene. Deklan lives a solitary life as an agent and bristles when Grace refers to him as a leopard--a solitary hunter who answers to no one. As the danger mounts, Deklan and Grace must race out of London and try to uncover the hiding spot of the royal crown. I thought the middle of the book dragged a bit, and of course, there's the "insta-love" of these two--already in love after only two days?? That's not very realistic, but it is the nature of these 'Book of Love' stories. Ms. Platt has delivered another enjoyable read, and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

This book was cute!
I liked the interactions and banter with the characters, and the plot was intriguing to be kept along with their romance as well. I think the two of them are very sweet together.
Granted I assumed it would be the typical romance books where while things are connected (plots, characters, etc) that this would be easy to jump in- that wasn’t the case. Given I haven’t read the abundance of prior titles to this, I feel there was context missing (to no fault of the author, I just assumed it was an easy jump into). The more I continued the book, the stronger the characters got. It was easier to picture the two together for even though they each had their motivations, it felt a bit too “instant-love” for my personal taste.

I’d be very happy to recommend this title for the library adult romance section given that we’d be able to get the other copies as well, that way the authors lovely vision is complete. :)
Thank you for the opportunity for this read/ARC and I enjoyed the romance elements a lot.

The Magical book is at it again!

He is an agent of the Crown, given the assignment of finding the stolen goods.

She knows it is her family that have taken it. The problem is she may be in danger herself!

As the two work together, another emotion seems to be evolving on their journey. Will they find love?

Great series!!

From the first page to the last you will spellbound by The Miracle of Love. With the appearances from characters who you found a special place in your heart. I just love the way Grace and Deklan met, it had me laughing! Marea Platt has given readers a book that is well-written and well paced, filled it with great cast of characters that come off the pages and pull you into this emotional ride that keeps you involved until the very end, heartfelt dialogue, family unity and with an enjoyable plot that brings this read together perfectly!

I hate to say this about a novel by Meara Platt (who I have enjoyed in the past) but this story was just boring. Luckily, I had read the book previous to this one in the series or else I would have really felt out of the loop because it relies so heavily on those previous events. I will say, the entire book isn't boring - the beginning is very interesting and there is a sense of danger for Grace that was not maintained throughout. I really liked Grace and enjoyed seeing her start to develop more confidence in herself. I was so disappointed for her when she found out what her father was really like. I thought Deklan was a little too high-handed with her and his interest in her came a little too quickly. Had Ms. Platt just upped the drama/intrigue a little bit for the middle of the story I would probably have enjoyed it so much more.

What a great start, grabs you from the first page. Deklan, the Crown’s best agent returns home for the holidays and to start a new assignment. Unknowingly she happens to be in his bed, Grace’s father and brother has committed a art heist and now the whole family is in disgrace. Together they work to find the missing crown and also learn from the magical book of love.
I loved the beginning, but the discussions on the book of love was a bit to long. Seemed to drag on and on. I read a few others in this series and will rate this 3.5. Thank you NetGalley for this eARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story. #NetGalley #TheMiracleofLove

Deklan Quinton is a hero who has more than earned his reputation as the Crown’s top agent. He is fearless, resourceful, and always successful because he never allows his feelings to interfere with his assignments. But now he has met Grace Montford and his heart will not stop getting in the way of duty. Grace’s brother has stolen a priceless crown from a foreign royal house, and Deklan has one week to retrieve it in order to save Grace’s life. Grace Montford, beautiful daughter of a viscount, was expected to make a brilliant debut in the upcoming Season. Instead she is disgraced, shunned by her friends, and chased by foreign agents who want to take her hostage because her foolish brother has stolen their priceless royal crown and everyone believes she knows where he has hidden it. She and Deklan have one week to find it or else she will be turned over to those foreign agents.
The fifteenth book in this brilliant series & it’s easily read on its own. I loved both Deklan & Grace, I loved the chemistry between them & their verbal bantering. A well paced story, which I read straight through & once again the Book of Love weaves its magic though it has to dig deep this time
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

This is the 15th book from Book of Love series. My first book from this author, and it is sooo good.

The opening was good, make me laugh and cant stop reading. Author write so smooth and i enjoy how the main problem unfold. How stubborn Deklan is, bickering with Grace because she reject the idea married him. I think Grace reason was make sense.

Thank you to NetGalley for provide this book, it is pleasure to review this book.
