Book: Winning Miss Winthrop

Author: Carolyn Miller

Genre: Regency Historical Romance

Release date: March 2018

 

Catherine Winthrop is almost at her last prayers, rejected years ago by the man who stole her heart. When tragedy brings him back into her life, she must suffer further grief in silence, amid her family’s pain and hostility, which eventually sends her to seek solace in Bath.
 
Jonathan Carlew might be wealthy, but the mystery surrounding his birth has shadowed his life, bringing fresh challenges as he takes on the Barony. Caught between appeasing the Winthrop family’s concerns and doing what he could to salvage their failing estate, he must also weigh the echoes of the past with the demands of his new responsibilities.
 
Two hearts must decide whether present speculation will condemn them to the dust of their memories, or if the whispers of forgiveness can provide freedom for the future.

My Thoughts on Winning Miss Winthrop

Catherine Winthrop has just lost her father.  They’re having his funeral and family over when they meet the new Lord who takes away their home.  Of course, it’s not the man that everyone thought it would be.  It’s a different relative that everyone wants to forget about. 

Everyone that is except Catherine.  And that’s just because she can’t forget about him.  Or how much she loved him until he broke her heart.  Well, she tries to stop loving him at least. 

Sparks are still flying as both feel wronged by the other and Jonathan tries to bring the estate out of the shambles that it has gotten into.  

Can the two find out what really drew them apart and see each other for who they have grown up into being?  Will they ever become friends and maybe something more?  When Charlotte’s reputation is in tatters can Jonathan make it all right again?

I really enjoyed this book.  It read quickly and kept me interested.  I highly recommend that you give it a read and know that you’ll enjoy it as well.

More from Carolyn

In 2015 I was fortunate enough to visit England and see my sister who was living there at the time. What followed was three weeks of visiting parts of England, Ireland, and Scotland in a whistle-stop tour of some of the places I’d long dreamed about visiting, but never thought I’d get the chance: London, Brighton, the Blarney stone in an Irish castle, Chatsworth in the Peak District, Loch Ness and Culloden in the Scottish Highlands, the gorgeous grounds of Dunrobin Castle, and the beautiful Cotswolds of England, which includes World Heritage-listed Bath.

I’ve used many of the places I’ve visited as the inspiration behind my historical stories, but none as much as the places I visited while in Bath. Pretty much every place I visited – Sydney Gardens, Bath Abbey, the Pump Room, The Assembly Rooms, and more – were mentioned in my story Winning Miss Winthrop, which I view as my homage to Jane Austen’s Persuasion, which vies with Pride and Prejudice as my favorite Austen novel.

I loved my all-too-brief time in Bath, and I love this story, with its depiction of two people learning to overcome the misunderstandings of the past in order to find a future. Winning Miss Winthrop is the first book in the Regency Brides: A Promise of Hope series, and has the attention to period detail, romance, banter, and faith threads that readers in the Regency Brides series have come to expect. I hope readers enjoy Catherine and Jon’s story.

    I would love to take a whirlwind trip in Europe like Carolyn Miller did with her sister. I think I would especially have to check out Bath.
