This regency romance by USA TODAY bestselling and HOLT Medallion winning author BREE WOLF about a resolute, young lady and an unworthy suitor proves that love isn’t always easy…but it is always worth fighting for.

LADY ELEANOR has all the symptoms of being in love: butterflies in her stomach, her knees in severe danger of buckling and her heart doing somersaults. For all intents and purposes, she should be happy; if only the one man who managed to steal her heart was not also the one man she is forbidden to marry.

HENRY WALTHAM, fifth son of Baron Caulfield, feels blessed and cursed at the same time. While he cherishes the many happy childhood memories of growing up with his band of brothers, the four of them, unfortunately, managed to garner rather scandalous reputations since entering society. Henry wouldn’t care in the least if these reputations didn’t now stand in the way of his own happiness.

Presented with an endless stream of appropriate suitors, Eleanor finds herself faced with the task of choosing a husband by season’s end. A suitable husband, of course. Preferably one with a title, a large fortune as well as an impeccable reputation. Three conditions her beloved Henry does not fulfil.

Aware that the woman he loves is on the brink of being married off, Henry is torn between simply whisking her away to Gretna Green - and let propriety be damned! - and the deep desire to prove himself an honourable man and win her hand through honest means.

Still, not everything is as it seems and, soon, Eleanor and Henry come to realise that the key to their future can only be found in the past.

"Ms. Wolf is a gifted writer. Her stories are filled with heart, love, and steam with no need to cover your eyes. I can never get enough and am working my way to owning all her works." - Elizabeth, AMAZON REVIEW

"This is my favorite book in the series, so far. I had a hard time putting it down. I just had to know the secret that kept her mother from wanting her with Henry." - Jennifer Scruggs, AMAZON REVIEW

"The twists and turns are surprising and keeps the reader intrigued from start to finish." - Pamela Pond, AMAZON REVIEW

True Forbidden Love

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018

***I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book from the author in exchange for a true and honest review.***

Lady Eleanor just wants to have her HEA with Henry. In the beginning Eleanor comes across as being timid and a people pleaser- particularly her mother. Her mother seems to dislike Henry for reasons she just doesn’t understand. Finally with the help from friends and family, Eleanor decides to seek her happiness. Eleanor stands up for herself no matter the cost of hurting her mother.

Poor Henry he has no idea why Eleanor’s mother does not like him. He knows it has something to do with his brothers who are all “rakes”. But Henry really loves Eleanor and he is willing to do anything to have her as his wife.

When Eleanor and Henry true feelings are revealed, the true situation of mistrust is revealed. But nevertheless, Eleanor and Henry have their Happily Ever After.

I have read all of the books from the Forbidden Love Novella Series. So I was familiar with all the characters. It was nice see them in this story, particularly William and Catherine from The Forgotten Wife. I so glad that I discovered Bree Wolf’s books. I truly enjoy them. I like how she has been able to weave into her stories, previous characters from her books. I look forward to her next book in this series, which has to be about Eleanor’s friend Winifred and Lord Chadwick. We shall see.

Well written with believable characters!

Hearts to be Mended is book 6 in the Forbidden Love Novella Series by Bree Wolf. I have read all six books and find myself amazed each time I've read one of them how engrossed I become in the story and the characters she has written about. As a reader, I tend to gravitate toward books that are more sensuous. but that is not the case with Bree's books. Yet she still manages to portray the deep emotions and feelings her main and supporting characters have or develop for one another and at the same time, tie up a reader's emotions until the very last page is read.

Lady Eleanor Abbott, sister of Arthur, featured in the previous novella, Rules to be Broken, is deeply in love with Henry Waltham, fifth son of a baron, who has no prospects. Eleanor's mother is adamantly opposed to any match between them and will not be persuaded to change her mind. Eleanor feels there is something her mother is not revealing about why she is so opposed to Henry. Will Eleanor be able to change her mind and find her HEA with Henry?

It was nice that several characters from previous books show up in this novella. New characters include Henry's brother Nick who is slowly destroying himself but won't communicate with or accept help from Henry. All in all, Bree did a very nice job developing the story and it will be interesting to see which characters will appear again in any additions to this series.

This is one of those "feel good" stories that has a great twist and takes you across the finish line with a WHOOSH !!

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018

While at first I pictured the heroine as a girl in love with being in love--speaking the words but not caring enough to find out why her mother HATED the groom-to-be's family, after feeling like giving them a "push" it suddenly came together and was fantastic.
I thought it began a little slowly with the heroine a bit too timid (her mother was a cold type) to push for acceptance of her marriage to her love but whoa--Ms. Wolf really got it in gear and raced across the finish line in record time. There is a fantastic twist and I won't give it away.

While this wouldn't be my favorite book by Ms. Wolf, it is really good and left you with a "WOW" feeling when it was over!

Perhaps novellas simply aren't my thing!

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2018

I wanted to love this. The secret had potential but in so few words, which for me is a lack of depth, it simply didn't work.
I also felt pulled out of the story by the over-use of phrases like "deep smile" and the mismatch between being described as "enraged" with a "stern" face.
Not for me.

Possibly the best one so far in this series

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

First, let me state that I was given a pre-released copy of this book to read for an honest review afterward. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was prepared to be disappointed and am happy to say I was not. This may be the best one in this series so far, although I really liked book 3 as well. That said, the mother of our heroine is one aggravating woman, but our couple in love prevail. One of the things that I really like about the books by this author is that she does give meaningful glimpses into the lives of characters from previous books in the series. I like that sense of continuity. In all fairness, I will state that there are typographical/grammatical errors to be found, but I only caught two and I seem to be in the minority of individuals who are irritated by these. The story itself was great with a nice little surprise HEA mixed in with the major story. There is some angst, but it does not drag along as happens in so many stories. I just wonder if Stephen will get his own book and if so, will he get the heartache he deserves?

Excellent follow-up to 'Rules To Be Broken'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the story of Henry and Eleanor who we met previously and it is lovely to see their romance come to its rightful conclusion. Along the way we see one of Henry's brothers also get his Happy Ever After and are introduced to his other three brothers. The eldest is particularly interesting and I am hopeful that he will have his own story as he clearly had his heart broken in the past. These novellas are just the right size for an engrossing read but are better read in pairs as the characters in the second book are generally introduced in the first. I received an ARC but this is my honest unbiased review.
