Will The Book of Love work its magic on Belle and Finn?

Belle Farthingale knows something is wrong in the family business and is worried her father has gotten in over his head. She needs Finn Brayden’s help to get him out of trouble, but after their humiliating encounter at Lady Dayne’s tea party, will he ever speak to her again?

Finn Brayden has one rule - never mix business with pleasure. But that rule is about to be shot to bits by the luscious Belle Farthingale. There’s something about her that he can’t resist. She gets his heart thrumming and senses reeling. When she comes to him seeking help, why does he suddenly feel he’s the one in need of protection?

Belle is very persuasive and he’s in danger of falling in love.

A lovely read

When they link force to fight an unknown threat, will her insecurities keep them apart...

How I love these Farthingales women and Braydens men! Their first encounter always leads to disaster, a disaster moving to a charming romance.
And here Mrs Meara Platt does not disappoint, this book of love has its own power, bringing together fated mates.
Finn is a dream of a man, from the very beginning he shows his integrity, how honorable he is. And as the story progresses, his caring and protectiveness but also his will to see Belle be her own woman.
All along, he supports Belle but she is very unwilling to trust him, with patience and gentleness, he slowly proves her he is not one to run away whatever they might face.
Belle has a talent that is behind her family’s business success. But outside it, she does not see her worth, and she stubbornly even refuses to accept Finn’s suit because of the broken image she has of herself.
I can understand when repeatedly you are told you are fragile, you might believe it but fragile does not mean unlovable and damaged.
Why at time I was a bit upset at her rambling about her unworthiness.
She was lucky it was Finn, a Brayden, so honor bound to do the right thing and to persevere when she tried to push him away.

Now I am curious about Finn’s brothers and Belle’s sister.

4.25 INTRIGUING

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2020

I love this series and I've read all the books, but this can be a stand alone because the author gives you background. If you've read the series, it can be somewhat repetitious going over The Book of Love and the couples discussing the chapter's. The whole series is based on the finding's of this book. It is a very unique concept the author has hit upon.

There are villains, great character's and some surprises I didn't see coming. The h was likable, but I must admit after many many times thinking she isn't worthy of the H because of her ailment, it got old. I didn't like she was such a victim. No matter how many times, over and over the H told her she wasn't defined by her lungs, she fell into the same pattern.

There is some foreplay prior to marriage heat level 3 out of 5 if that, barely mentioned. Then lovemaking, within marriage, discussed once - heat level maybe 3 out of 5 again.

No cheating, no cliffhanger for our couple, but you will wonder who the other siblings will partner, HEA and a tad of spice. Good writing and I'd recommend this series, this story and author. (ljb).

Spectactular!

The Scent of Love, the fifth installment of Meara Platt’s Book of Love series, is a wonderful addition to the collection. Once again, Platt has woven a tale that brings together two people, Finn and Belle, who meet in most unusual circumstances, which could have been scandalous. Lucky for them it wasn’t, so why is Finn so disappointed? Then Belle comes to Finn and asks him to help her get to the bottom of something mysterious going on with her family. Finn agrees to help, which means they will have to pretend to be courting, so they use the Book of Love, to learn about how to find love. Can they solve the mystery that’s plaguing Belle’s family, and can Finn convince Belle that he truly loves her. The Scent of Love is spectacular and my favorite book in the series so far!

Great book

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2020

Belle and Finn meet at a party that they get themselves into an awkward situation. He tries to propose but she stops him because she thinks she is unlovable due to having asthma. Three months go by and she needs his help with her family accounts so she comes up with a scheme to make that happen.

I really enjoyed that it didnt take Finn long at all to realized how much he loved Belle and wanted to help her love herself. I didnt like how little Belle seemed to like herself and how long it took for her to admit she is loveable, but the book played out very well. It was a very good read. I love Platts books and how honest she makes the characters.

Just as good

Halfway through this story I had decided to give this 2 stars. Well, as you can see the rest of the story changed my mind. I really liked Finn already from the other stories in the series. Belle got on my nerves badly through the beginning and part of the middle. She got a lot better towards the end. Her constant down on herself, oh whoa is me attitude drove me crazy. Luckily Finn talked her out of it and helped her see her worth. The plot is well written and enjoyable twists and turns through the whole tale. Can’t wait for Honey, Holly, and Joshua’s stories!

Belle's Chance at Love

Belle was embarrassed. Not only did she have a breathing attack, she was “rescued” by a very handsome man. Finn had wanted an introduction to this beautiful lady, he just didn’t think it would be in quite this manner! Stumbling past their awkward first meeting, Belle and Finn have a mission and a mystery. The mission-THE BOOK OF LOVE and the mystery-the company books and the secret her father is hiding. But Finn has a personal mission to convince Belle she is lovable and that he loves her. Will he succeed?

A scrumptious dose of Farthingale/Brayden magic as they revel in The Book of Love!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

There is just something utterly delicious about all the Brayden boys that have you palpably swooning at the first encounter. As soon as they find their soulmate, lightening strikes and hearts melt - and not just that of the heroine!! Then when Platt weaves in a Farthingale, magical things are sure to happen. Fun and games morph into a spot of trouble and a mystery unravels before your eyes that inescapably draws you in and holds you riveted. So it was no wonder that upon their initial, heart-stoppingly unorthodox introduction, Finn and Belle instanteously ensnared by affection and won a small piece of my heart.
Finn with his no-nonsense, straight talking and headspinning-deep devotion for Belle packs quite the punch as he determinedly charms and seduces Belle into not just loving him but most importantly herself. Overlooked Belle is so sure she is unmarriageable, a thought instilled into her by her well-meaning if clueless parents, that Finn has one tough shell to crack. A challenge that maybe proving harder by the minute but Finn's endearingly bumbling attempts are all the sweeter and more rewarding for his trying!!!
A sweet and charming romance where the first half fills you with swoon-worthy anticipation and tummy fluttering romance, while the second swings you straight into anxious uncertainty, imminent danger and ominous intrigue!!
This series just keeps getting better and better - a purely addictive, fun and heart warming tale!!!

Enjoyed it

I enjoyed this.

Honestly, I don't know what it is about these books. The writing in them is a little average (and as others mentioned in previous books, not always very accurate). The characters are a little stiff and shallow at times. And yet there's something quite charming about the stories and it keeps me reading.

I will say that the stories are getting less clean as we go on (so be warned if that bothers you!). I've read much more detailed books, but we've definitely strayed further from clean romance than the earlier books in this series. That's not a criticism, merely a heads-up as not everyone likes that.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story as I usually do with anything from Meara Platt.
Her road to HEA is not a smooth one but a well earned one & a page turner.
The best kind.
