Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. From the majesty of the Scottish highlands to the lakeside gardens of an Italian palace, from a secondary school under inspection to a spa-break away from carework, this enticing array of stories charm and astonish, conveying us across ten vivid fictional worlds to ask the most intimate questions; how do we balance love and duty? A novel about the magical lure of books and summoning the courage to rewrite our stories by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings and The Last of the Moon Girls. In a great spread of countries throughout history, these sumptuous stories show the united wealth of our common humanity, and give a reminder that love and hope spring in the unlikeliest of places. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners—an emotional fingerprint only she can read. Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers’ tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals.

About the bitterness and anger that can eat you alive unless you choose to let go of it. Sometimes things happen, you just have to take it in stride. This book is a fantastic story, and I can’t wait to read more by the author.

Definitely recommend. A unique and creative story that will stick with me for years to come!

In this historical fiction novel with a dash of fantasy and a spoonful of tragic romance comes a story with complex characters that you will root for despite their missteps. Just want to thank Amazon for replacing the first copy I ordered as it was falling apart.

The neat thing about this book is that we the audience get to read the books Regretting Belle, Forever and other lies, along with Ashlyn and Ethan. A book about self healing and forgiveness.
Thank you. But the way the book shows us when we are reading from the books is in italics for chapters on end which can be hard on some peoples eyes.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a slow burn of a ride to our main characters’ growth and a book with a lot of heart. The author deserves a five star review and Amazon also deserves a five star review for taking care of things and making sure that I ended up with copy of the book. Also love that her magazine Ashton runs is named after a real book called the care and feeding of books old and new.
About the scars you can bring new meaning to if you choose to. It’s well written, I’m pulled into the story, and I look forward to every chapter.
