Book Summary
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, 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.

My Review
You know how things don't always work out like you think they should? Main character Rosalind Newbury finds this out a few weeks before her arranged marriage to the Duke of Marlow and boy is she surprised by the outcome.
Rosalind, or Ros, as she is called by her close friends and family, wants to check things off of her "10 Things To Do Before My Wedding" list. This seems like an impractical undertaking until she meets her best friend Liza's cousin, Charlie. Boy does he open her eyes to a world filled with new possibilities. Along the way, he also starts to worm his way into her heart. With all of the time they spend together, the sparks start flying and Charlie and Ros start falling in love. Their friendship and "unknown courtship" has many sweet moments as they are getting to know one another. Things are not all rosy though as Ros gets pushback from her brother, parents, and eventually, her intended, The Duke of Marlow. This cozy romance has many moments of angst but know, this Proper Romance will have a happy ending.
This well-written, friends-to-lovers romance had many surprises, happy moments, and a somewhat twisty ending that I didn't see coming. Just so many things that will captivate countless readers to this new Proper Romance.
