Meara Platt is a bestselling author of historical romance fiction from Long Island, New York. Happily married to Russell Crowe with whom she has two children, she is a huge lover of traveling when she is not working as a lawyer.

While she has become one of the most popular authors in romance fiction, she still works a day job as a managing partner of one of the most exclusive boutique law firms in New York. Meara also finds time to occasionally write and give lectures.
When she is not lawyering, writing, or giving talks she loves to spend time in the Lake District of England in which many of her idyllic novels are set. For Platt, writing is mostly about enchantment and hence, she loves to spend time in the British Isles and England where he can be immersed in it.

She published “My Fair Lily” her debut novel and the first of the “Farthingale” series of novels in 2014. She now has more than forty works to her name among them several series, novellas, collections of short stories, and contributions to series by other authors.
For her work, Meara Platt has won several awards including the Golden Heart Award from the Romance Writers of America.

If anyone had an unusual childhood it would have to be Meara Platt. The author was born in the beautiful city of Cairo, Egypt where she played in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the desert was her sandbox.

Nonetheless, Egypt was a country mired in all manner of problems and hence she would become a child refugee moving from country to country before settling in Australia. Australia was like heaven for Meara Platt’s family.
They lived in a Bondi Beach apartment where there was all manner of strawberries, passion fruit, and beautiful flowers growing in the garden. The impact of all that beauty would have a huge impact on Platt and hence it was no surprise that one of her series is called “Dark Gardens” and another takes the name of a flower as its title.

They used to spend their summers just outside Canberra, where they used to feed kangaroos that frequented the meadow with bread while kookaburra birds chirped in the high eucalyptus trees.
Ultimately, the family made it to the US and settled in the country. She has now lived in the US for years and considers it her home, even if she was not born there.

As for writing, Meara Platt has said that she always loved to read and hence writing was a natural offshoot of that hobby. From when she was a child, she used to read all manner of romance, fantasy paranormal romance, and mystery but what she loved best were historical romances.

A few years before she penned her debut, it seemed that all of her favorite authors were producing bad books. Tossing her favorite authors aside, her husband suggested that maybe she should write something better.
But as soon as she started writing, she realized she knew nothing about writing fiction. She found the local chapter of the Romance Writers of America and became a member. It was from her membership in the RWA that she would learn much of what she now knows as an author.
While she had always written, it was not until she published her first novel and it became a bestseller that she considered herself an author.

Meara Platt’s “The Look of Love,” tells the story of Lady Olivia Gosling who had gone to a musty bookshop and stumbled on “The Book of Love.” She could not have been more eager to try out the recipes on someone safe.

Beast is not technically safe but since her odious guardian intends to marry her off to one of his disgusting friends, she has no choice. She needs Beast who she has been friends with since childhood to fall in love with her fast.
If she can manage to make him love her surely she could do the same to any other man. The Duke of Hartford’s real name is Alexander Beastling even though most of the town prefers to call him Beast. He is muscled and big and comes with an aura of mystery that he does not care to hide.

Having come back from battle, he is appalled to hear that Olivia’s guardian intends to marry her off to some obnoxious character. He decides to help her get an appropriate husband even if he has to work with her stupid experiments she says she got out of a magic love book.
He was initially skeptical but believes they may be working as he cannot get Olivia out of his heart or mind.

“The Touch of Love” by Meara Platt asks what makes a man fall in love. Poppy Farthingale believes the answer is in “The Book of Love.” She had made a pact with her friends to make use of “The Book of Love” to find true love.

She could not see any other way that he could use to make the Earl of Welles, real name Nathaniel Sherbourne to notice her. She comes from a small family and has a small dowry and knows Nathaniel would never consider her as a wife.
Moreover, he is engaged to be married to a duke’s daughter believed to be one of the most beautiful women in the land. She only has four days to win the man’s heart but time is running out as her rival will be meeting with Nathaniel at his country home over the weekend.
On his part, Nathaniel had his heart injured by the vagaries of war and hence he has never been in a rush to marry. He is a titled and wealthy bachelor who has many debutantes vying for his attention. Moreover, he needs to unravel a blackmail scheme before turning his mind to romantic pursuits.

However, he has recently been attracted to Poppy Farthingale who is the best friend of his younger sister. He had promised to help her find a suitable fiance and thought her Book of Love ridiculous but now thinks it may have been used on him.

Meara Platt’s novel “The Taste of Love” is the story of Penelope, who is hoping that the Book of Love will finally make her dreams come true. She had vowed to never fall for the handsome and big Scottish brute who is the Laird of Caithness named Thaddius MacLauren.
However, she recently got her hands on “The Book of Love,” and if there is one man she trusts she can trust the recipes on it has to be Thad. She intends to try it out on him in her quest to find a suitable husband.
What she is looking for is a mild manner earl from her village who will make her bones melt and her heart leap when she sees him.

On his part, all Thaddius MacLauren wants is a kiss from her and nothing more. He has been in love with the vexing and sharp-tongued Lady Penelope Sherbourne for years. Moreover, she has been the kindest person to him and this says something, particularly for a boy who never experienced the love of his family.

Her kindness had come to be one of the most important things in his life but he just cannot tell her how he feels. But then the Book of Love is introduced into the mix.
