Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Winning Miss Winthrop by Carolyn Miller



 


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.

I haven't always been a fan of Regency Era books. It has only 
been in the last year or so that the Genre has really become
on of my favorite genres of books. Winning Miss Winthrop 
by Carolyn Miller has convinced me how GREAT Regency 
Era books really are. 

Catherine Winthrop is really struggling with so much right now. 
She is having to move out of the home she has lived in for a long
time after her Dad suddenly passes away. An unexpected twist, 
the guy who broke her heart a few years ago, becomes the heir 
of her father's estate and home. Jonathan Carlew is taking over the
home and Catherine is trying to keep her distance. Due to the 
circumstances of passing the house along, avoiding him isn't an 
option, they are needing to communicate about the handlings 
of the home. Each time they must meet, there is squabbling. 
Catherine and Jonathan are in a crunch and must make some 
decisions. Could these decisions bring them closer? Could things
have a positive future for the former couple?

I LOVE this book! I was hooked from the first few pages. Catherine
and Jonathan have quite the past and when tragedy brings them 
back to one another, they take it all in stride. They lean on their 
faith. The book is about forgiveness, moving forward, changes 
and friendships. GREAT BOOK!

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 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.
