I have yet to pick up a Martha Waters book I haven’t enjoyed. This was no exception. I loved West and Sophie together and more importantly loved the strength of Sophie and her relationship with her sister. She’s a heroine with a lot of substance and standing on her own two feet and doesn’t really need the hero, but did it because of their feelings. I’m sad this series is over. It’s truly been a fun ride!

I was not a fan of previous books in the series, but for sure this one wins the first spot.
Sophie, while having her reasons to marry another man, was cruel in choosing a friend of her almost fiancé, and even crueler, after becoming a widow to take another of his friends as a lover.
Her plan to help her sister with a fake engagement with this poor man was literally the final blow for me. Like she was rubbing in his face that they could fake but not be together (and bare in mind, she believes herself in love with him, it’s not an unrequited love situation)
The villain of the story (who was also the villain of the first book) gets basically no consequences for ruining both his son’s lives for years and years. He may not successfully separate Sophie and West, but still, that’s such a non-issue.
I read this book so fast because I was so angry at everything happening, there was no real emotional moment between the two, the reconciliation felt so swallow. I really felt nothing, when usually it’s so easy for me to just get into the story
2 stars because the siblings moment where cute at times

I’ve read the previous books in the series, so I was very excited about the opportunity to read this final installment. Everyone else in the group has paired up so it was finally West and Sophie’s turn.

Actually, it’s their second chance at love because they formed an attachment years ago but were forced apart by West’s mean father. Sophie is widowed and not looking for love, but she puts together a fake engagement scheme to help her sister’s prospects and enlists West’s help

Overall, the book is a bit of a letdown because of the build-up over the first four books in the series. The two protagonists spend too much time maintaining the farce of the fake relationship and not realizing that maybe, just maybe, they should take a chance on something real. The big denouement was satisfying, albeit a bit predictable.

I would recommend To Woo and to Wed. Although it’s missing some of the spark that made the first book in the series stand out in the world of historical romance, it’s still a fun little book. After so many “will they won’t they” moments over the course of the series, it was satisfying to see West and Sophie get their happily ever after.



I received a digital ARC of this book from Atria Books/NetGalley

I am so sad this series is over. I love these books beyond words. They’re so silly yet full of heart, lovely, fun, tender, I could go on. Love.

I am a huge fan of Martha Waters and this series. After binging Bridgerton, I was looking for historical romances that gave the same feel (as I know many people were), and this series did not disappoint!

Oh absolutely sensational. I enjoyed this SO SO SO much. This entire series is brilliant and I'm so glad that this book was the conclusion. All fans of histrom should give this series a try. It's got something for everybody.

A rom-com regency is just what I needed! Great book with lots to love about their dynamic and the antics they get up to.

West and Sophie were once almost engaged until his father got in the way. Now Sophie is widowed and has no interest in romance. When Sophie's sister is holding back from romance of her own, Sophie believes she won't settle down until Sophie does too. Sophie devises a fake romance with West so her sister can feel free to move on. But what if those feelings from long ago never really went away?

This is the last book in the series and I am honestly sad it is ending. I love a good fake romance plot and this one is no exception!

I received from #NetGalley a copy of #ToWooandtoWed by #MarthaWaters. This is part of a Regency series and takes place in 1818 in England. Sophie and West were in love in the past but Weston is the heir to a dukedom. His father believes Sophie's family is beneath him and threatens her sisters' futures. West meanwhile has an accident that kills his friend and severely injures him. Sophie marries someone else to save her sisters and becomes a widow. 7 years later, her sister,Alexandra, who is also a widow is in love. Sophie thinks she will not marry unless Sophie marries so she goes to West and proposes a fake betrothal. This book is about that betrothal and Sophie's relationships with her friends and sisters.

I appreciate the opportunity to read this title and thank the publisher for providing me with an eARC, however as so much time has passed since this works publication date and my lack of urgency with this piece, I am unfortunately going to move on. I hope to one day read this work at a later time and if I do, I will adjust my review. Thank you again for the opportunity.

GOSH I enjoyed the rest of the series.. and that's true of this one, too! While I could have asked for more tension, banter, and humor, it was evident the entire storyline and I really enjoyed the series finale! The present/past timeline helped add to this storyline, as we watch West and Sophie evolve in their relationship overtime, both changing for the better. Fake engagement, historical romance-esque speaking, and forced proximity were the main tropes and I thought they all worked together REALLY well. Way to go, Martha Waters! Can't wait to pick up your other stories. Thanks for the opportunity to read!

To Woo and To Wed is the final installment in the Regency Vows. This was the perfect finish to this fun Regency romance series. Sophie and West's interactions were witty and entertaining.

Martha Waters books are ones that I keep coming back too. I love that the characters overlap and it helps keep the story going.

Like the other books in this series, this was fun and great and I loved all the characters who showed up again. Waters does a good story telling.

I love this series. They are all intertwined, but all can be read as stand-alones. Perfect for Bridgerton and historical fiction fans! Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the opportunity to read in exchange for a review.

I’m sad to see this series end with this final installment, but To Woo and To Wed felt like a solid ending to the Regency Vows series. This novel funny and lighthearted like the rest of the series and navigating through Sophie and West’s love story was anything but entertaining! What I enjoy abut this series is a regency romance that’s got a slightly modern sensibility that can appeal to new readers of this sub-romance genre. It feels less stuffy than some of the other more traditional Regency romances I’ve read in the past and the characters are not afraid to poke fun at themselves.

Sophie and West end up in a scheme of a “fake romance” much like the other novels and this book explores their long and complicated history with each other. Readers get to view snippet of the past as flashback to the couple’s younger years and what led up to their falling out and current day strained relationship. It’s blatantly obvious to us that the two very much care for each other (romance trope formulas!) but it’s the journey of how they start to rekindle their relationship. They have to navigate through a lot of difficult feelings that they’ve been struggling with, grief of a shared friend, and also the obstacles that have kept them apart. It was so satisfying that Waters, took the time for the characters to develop and work through issues rather jumping into a insta-love situation.

What I enjoy the most about these books is the dialogue and the lively personalities of the characters. Everyone feels fully fleshed out and the setting is immersive sending the readers to the time of lavish gowns, handsome waistcoats, and gorgeous balls. The humor and witty banter kept me locked into the story and laughing all of the way! This is a great series if you’re looking for a fun and lighthearted read. I recommend reading the novels in order to get the full reading experience. I look forward to reading more from Waters in the future

I enjoyed this close out to the Regency Vows series. I am glad we finally got Sophie and West's story and it was nice to see all the other couples as well. It did feel a little bit short on story, compared to some of the other books in the series, as really all that needs to happen is for Sophie and West to admit that they still love each other. There are some amusing misadventures before that happens, but overall it's a pretty chill book and a quick read and definitely lacks some of the drama of previous entries in the series. I do think it could have been a little shorter, but overall it was a fun way to spend an afternoon.

*Thanks to Atria Books for providing an early copy for review.

I love this whole series! Martha Waters really knows how to write a cheeky historical romance! The characters are so fun, I hope she keeps going!

thank you netgalley and atria books for the arc.

Martha Waters is just a reliable author for me at this point, and that's a good thing! I love her work, her writing, and her swoonworthy romances.
