Winning Winnie's Hand

Men of the Isles, Book 1

De: Deborah M. Hathaway

Narrado por: Greer Davis, Barney Cooper

She’s no damsel, but dang…this knight in shining armor kinda makes her want to be.

Born into a driven and successful family, Winnie Knox tries—and fails—to impress her parents and siblings as she bounces from career to career, year to year. In a last-ditch effort, Winnie takes on consulting work at a stately home in England, hoping to gain a nice bit of prestige as she improves the massive British estate.

In true Knox Fashion, Winnie dives headfirst into her new position. In true Winnie Fashion, she ends up with her car headfirst...in the mud. But what does she see coming to her rescue? Nothing short of a knight in shining armor.

Literally. A knight in shining armor. On a horse. What century is this again? Well, whatever it is, Winnie doesn’t mind lingering in it if she gets to stare at a man like him all day. This job is going to be a walk in the park.

Of course, nothing is ever as easy as it should be with Winnie as she puts her foot in her mouth and straightaway offends the knight—who just so happens to be someone far more important than the simple thespian he appears to be.

But Winnie Knox is a professional. She can charm anyone.

Can't she?

This is the first book in the clean and sweet romcom Men of the Isles series by Deborah M. Hathaway.

Adorable knight and heroine tale

A very delightful story! The characters were easy to fall for and was hooked from the start! Love the setting and character development- especially of Winnie . The banter is fantastic and Matthew’s friends I’m convinced need their own stories now!
Would definitely read again just to go back to Yorkshire with these two! Such and enjoyable story but was waiting for the resolution between a family member however I appreciate that it relates to difficult relationships we have in real life families.
The actors for this audio book were perfect and enhanced the story experience. Overall I’m smitten with this story and excited to see what happens next! Well done Deborah!

Delightful

I couldn’t have loved rereading this beloved story more! I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the amazing characters, the amazing places, and the amazing story.

Winnie Freakin’ Knox is a driven woman. Driven with heart, understanding, and compassion, but she is willing to hold her own and throw it right back at you, or rather right back to Matthew. All this confidence is hiding the pain of never feeling enough and the struggles of a manipulative father.

Matthew is very defensive of his Festival. He put his heart and soul into it and loves History, he just doesn’t know how to make it profitable. When his dad hires Winnie to come asses and make changes he stays gruff and unhelpful. until they can both decide to work together things will fall apart.

All the things to LOVE:
Horse Riding
Knights Jousting
Man From Snowy River and Harry Potter references
Wall Jump
Minnie
Her Family Call
One Bed
Half holding
Teasing
The Festival
Dinner with his friends
Wellies
His friend Group

Loved the theme of Learning Your Strengths and Asking for Help! The bravery to work towards your dreams. This is just one of those really wonderful reads full of self discovery, standing up for yourself, and genuinely good characters. You’ll also find the sweetest romance.
