Book Summary:
Synopsis:
Before Rosalind weds, she wants to experience ten things. Meeting Charlie wasn’t on her list.
England, 1820
Rosalind Newbury is counting down the days until her wedding to the Duke of Marlow, a man
she has only met twice, and she knows exactly how she wants to spend her time. As a child, Ros
created a list of ten things to do before her wedding day. So far, she has done none of them.
She is determined to tackle each item, though she’ll have to accomplish them all in secret. After
all, a soon-to-be-duchess is not usually allowed to bury treasure in the pasture, eat sweets all day,
or learn how to swim. She enlists the help of her best friend, Liza, who brings along her cousin,
Charlie, a prodigal son-turned-boxer who has come to the countryside to mend his reputation and
learn how to be his father’s heir.
Together, the three of them work to complete the list, and as each item is crossed off, an unlikely
friendship blossoms between Ros and Charlie. The more time they spend together, the more Ros
falls in love with this imperfect man and his good heart.
With the wedding looming, Ros must decide to either admit her romantic feelings for Charlie and
risk her family’s future, or keep her promise to marry the duke and start a new life as a noblewoman.
About the Author:
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 the rest is history. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with
her husband and three children.
Advance Praise:
“Walker dazzles readers with a wonderfully surprising Regency romance about self-discovery
and following one’s dreams to new beginnings. The fresh premise is an immediate hit, and the
exquisitely paced plotline strikes a satisfying balance between pursuit and reflection for its
delightful characters. The chemistry between the always proper Rosalind and Charlie positively
glows with yearning. It is a resounding success for Walker, whose talent for emotional intricacy
and smart wit elevate the standard of excellence in the genre.”

“Their romance is both daring and restrained. Miss Newbury’s List is a gentle, moving, romance
novel that’s inspired by kindred companionship and crossroad reckonings.”
—Foreword Reviews
“Delightful Regency. Walker’s latest sparkles with sweet romantic moments as Rose defies
societal and familiar expectations in the name of love. This is a treat.”
—Publishers Weekly
My Review:
Miss Newbury’s List is absolutely delightful! From the setting to the characters, at every turn I found myself wanting and needing to read more. I loved Rosalind and her list. She was bound and determined to fulfill it before she fulfilled her duty to her family of securing a title. And Charlie! *sigh* What can I say about Charlie? From his crooked nose to his straightforward and honest manner, everything about him was enchanting. I could not seem to get enough of Ros, Charlie, and Liza’s adventures. I think I will never look at a cheesecake the same way again! The slow burn romance was electric and you could feel the chemistry sizzling off the pages! A proper romance that will have you hooked from page one, Miss Newbury’s List is a must read for regency fans!
