Mimi Matthews never disappoints, with richly drawn characters and couples whose individual shortcomings become strengths, when paired together. In this Beauty and the Beast retelling, we get to root for two underdogs who get to rewrite their own stories * Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wish You Were Here *
Shiveringly Gothic...Watching Julia blossom away from prying eyes is almost as satisfying as seeing Jasper Blunt pine for her from nearly the first page...For best effect, save this one for a windy night when trees scrape against the windowpanes * New York Times Book Review *
The Belle of Belgrave Square is such tremendous good fun: a heroine with a big horse, an even bigger novel-reading habit, and a hidden anxiety; a hero with a crumbling estate, a trio of wary children, and a literary secret-what's not to love? Mimi Matthews paints Victorian England with vivid humor, and her Belles of London is set to go on for at least a few more much-anticipated installments. Julian Fellowes fans will rejoice! * Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye *

Absolutely enthralling: an endearing, novel-reading heroine who's in dire danger; a swoon-worthy war hero with a scandalous past; and secrets, lots of secrets. Mimi Matthews's The Belle of Belgrave Square is a thrilling, emotion-packed read from start to finish. I loved it! * Syrie James, USA Today bestselling author *
[C]ombines deception, risk, and a resourceful heroine to create an intoxicating, suspenseful romance. Highly recommended * Library Journal (starred review) *
