Synopsis:~

Isabel Reed has promised to marry for love. At present her heart belongs to the one companion she knows accepts all her eccentricities—her horse. So when her older brother threatens to trade the animal on a whim, Isabel must force aside her progressive beliefs and bargain to entertain her brother’s flirtatious, albeit handsome, friend Lucas Ashcroft in exchange for keeping her horse.

Lucas is on the brink of madness—after a year’s worth of visits, he loves Isabel and is ready to propose. When it seems like she has finally come to feel the same, he foolishly believes he’s won her heart.

After a botched proposal from Lucas, Isabel makes it her mission to prove his affections for her are misplaced. But Lucas is determined not to give up his pursuit, and as Isabel comes to know him and his heart, she must work to save herself from losing not only her horse, but the most equal love match she never thought possible.

My take:~

Her Unexpected Courtship is another little gem of a story in the Promise of Forever After novella collection, able to be read as a standalone, but with the calibre of these romantic tales, why would you?

Megan Walker has created a delightful couple in Isabel and Lucas, with Lucas so desperately in love he blurts out a hasty marriage proposal to the bewildered Isabel, who hasn’t given her brother’s friend a moment of romantic notice.

Isabel’s determination to prove to Lucas they are not a match leads to many a tender moment as her eyes are slowly opened to his devotion and acceptance of her rather bold and forward thinking ways. Walker is an engaging storyteller and uses the trope and her characters to best advantage, resulting in a witty and entrancing romance you won’t want to miss.

I purchased my own copy of Her Unexpected Courtship.

Megan Walker was raised on a berry farm in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, where her imagination took her to times past and worlds away. While earning her degree in Early Childhood Education, she married her one true love and started a family. But her imaginings of Regency England wouldn’t leave her alone, so she picked up a pen and wrote her first novella, A Beautiful Love: A Regency Fairy Tale Retelling which was published in 2019. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with her husband and three children. Lakeshire Park is her debut novel.
