Summary
As a young girl Diana decided she liked fencing more than being a proper lady, but sometimes embracing the rules of society is a necessary evil. Fortuna’s Parlor gives her the opportunity to utilize her love of fencing, and town balls are the perfect place to hold the clandestine matches.
Roguish behavior, gambling, and expensive brandy are Luther Wright, Earl of Northesk’s favorite vices. They each play a part in burying the demons that haunt him. One night everything changes and he is forced to question every decision he’s made.
After a chance encounter at one of Diana’s fencing matches Luther decides to court her. Her strong will and his need to protect her clash, and only time will tell if they are able to find a way past their differences, and in turn, an enduring love.

great romance
Lady Diana and Earl Luther were neighbors and met when Diana was barely of age to be out. Years after, they met again. This time the Earl was captivated with the self-proclaimed wallflower/spinster Diana. The Earl tried to woo her and Diana found out something about herself.
This was sweet romance of a very strong and goal-oriented heroine. I love that in this story there was a deeper reason for her reluctance to wed. Though there was some pettiness on the side of the Earl, I was struck at the come back. Great story and great couple.

Strong, Fiesty Swordwoman meets Reforming Rake
This book is a little outside of a typical Regency romance because Lady Diana is a strong, single woman with a sports woman's spirit. Her consort had to have the mettle to match her in every way. Lady Diana and Earl of Northesk grew up next door to each other. There was always a connection, but there was never an opportunity to take it further. A few years later Diana has committed to being a part of a woman's club that teaches fencing and organises secret matches, while the Earl has finally recognised that he needs to give up his rakish ways. Almost instantly he is forced to address his feelings for his neighbour. Two strong characters coming together can only result in sparks but eventually they have to decide if they can accept each other and their feelings.
I enjoyed this audiobook. It was a fun Regency romance!

Historical Romance
Find Me Love by Dawn Brower is a historical romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Price Waldman. This is the second book in the Scandal meets Love Series that can be read as a stand-alone.
I absolutely love Dawn’s books! They are a slow burning romance that just leaves you with a smile by the end. I cannot wait to dive into the next book in the series If It’s Love.
Price did a great job on the narration. I loved his accent it was perfect for Luther. I look forward to listening to more of his projects in the future.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves historical romance or slow burn romances.

Delightful
This is a beautiful love story where two people who have known each other fall in love.
I loved how Luther persisted in his courtship of Diana and the dramatic climax of the story.
Price Waldman has a voice I could listen to forever and his narration together with the imaginative writings of Dawn Brower in this book go hand in hand to make this a recommendable success.

An achingly-sweet romance for an interesting pair
When I say that this story is sweet, I need to be clear; I don't only mean that it is a 'clean', traditional type of romance. This novella is Donny-Osmond-singing-Puppy-Love levels of sweetness, and if you have a single cynical bone in your body then you will struggle not to roll your eyes at it in places. If, however, you want to be immersed in a story where the lovers fall hard and fast and the declarations are as grand as the fanciest ballroom, then it's ideal escapism.
Diana's penchant for fencing was great, and I liked the fact that she helped run an all-female gaming hell. It would have been nice to have had this discussed in more detail, especially alongside the risk that society Ladies like Diana, Katherine, and Mary would have been running by participating in such an establishment. Equally, I would have liked to know more about Luther's emotional turmoil, especially the grief surrounding his father's death. The consequences of the loss are explained but the darkness is never explored, and I think there is a richness to his character that is missing due to the story's brevity. I feel the same about Diana, whose dissatisfaction and cool relationship with her family is never really covered in enough detail for me to truly have a rounded sense of her.
The friendship Diana has with Lulia is filled with problematic stereotypes and is very unfortunate in its execution.
There were quite a few issues with the general writing in this audiobook, which is always very noticeable in a novella because there is so little text for the mistakes to blend into. The writing generally lacks the elegance or refinement that is really needed in a Regency, as the formality of the language and customs really do show up every fault like wrinkles in silk. This, and the Americanisms and anachronisms, are also covered in greater length on the blog.
I did very much like the idea of Diana and Luther, as individuals and a couple, and I think that there is the potential to write them a compelling story. Sadly, I don't think that the execution of this novella really does them justice, and would like to see it expanded with more time and TLC. They're an interesting couple and could have a truly memorable romance if they were properly fleshed-out.
The narrator, Price Waldman, had a rich, rounded voice which was well suited to the period. There were a few pronunciations which were rather distracting. Lulia, too, has a very strange accent. Despite the language barrier, Waldman's tone is very relaxing and easy to listen to and I enjoyed his narration.
Overall, Find Me Love is a sweet story with a happy ending and a sprinkling of Regency references that help conjure up an image of a more elegant time. I wouldn't describe it as a true Regency, and it is not without its flaws, but it's a nice way to spend an evening's listening on a cold night. I would recommend it to those who are looking for a quick love-story with an unconventional heroine and a troubled hero.
