Hello And Welcome To My Stop For
Remember That Day By Mary Balogh
About the Book:
A soldier and a pacifist make the unlikeliest of pairs, but when passion sparks, there’s nothing that can prevent their love from igniting.
Winifred Cunningham, the adopted daughter of a portrait painter, hopes that her new close friend, Owen Ware, will soon ask for her hand in marriage. But when Owen introduces Winifred to his elder brother Nicholas, the late Earl of Stratton’s second son, the slow burn between them begins.
Nicholas is a cavalry colonel—a hardened soldier whom Winifred at first despises. She finds him intimidating and cruel-looking, while he finds her strange and startlingly forthright. During a summer at Ravenswood, however, Nicholas and Winifred are unwillingly thrown together on several occasions, until they realize the passion that drives their disagreements is not due to dislike—it is because of attraction.
Winifred still awaits Owen’s proposal, and Nicholas has made his intention to marry his commanding officer’s daughter quite clear. With allegiances to other marriage prospects and brotherly bonds at risk, not to mention the age difference between them, Nicholas and Winifred know it would be wholly improper to pursue a romance…
And yet, romance is irresistible. Perhaps even inevitable.

Thank you so much @mary.balogh, @berkleypub & @penguinrandomhouse for the chance to return to Ravenswood with this story.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
Mary Balogh once again proves why she’s one of the reigning queens of Regency romance.
Remember That Day, by Mary Balogh is the fifth installment in the Ravenswood series is everything I love about her work—graceful prose, emotional depth, and that slow, breathtaking build from conflict to connection that only Balogh can deliver.
Winifred Cunningham, with her honesty and impulsive spirit, meets her match in Colonel Nicholas Ware—a stoic, battle-worn soldier who embodies honor and restraint. From the very first meeting (which, true to Balogh form, goes terribly wrong), their story unfolds with all the tension, tenderness, and quiet longing that define the author’s best romances. There’s friction, misunderstanding, moral clashes, and—beneath it all—a current of mutual respect that blossoms into something far deeper than either expected.
Winnie completely won me over. She’s forthright and flawed in the most endearing way, while Nicholas stole my heart with his steadfastness and quiet vulnerability. The pairing of a warrior and a pacifist sounds impossible, but Balogh makes their journey feel utterly inevitable. Each conversation, each stolen look, feels infused with meaning. By the time love finally conquers duty and doubt, it’s impossible not to sigh in satisfaction.
I also adored seeing familiar names from the Westcott world appear alongside beloved Ravenswood characters—it felt like stepping into a grand Regency reunion. And while this can absolutely be read as a standalone, long-time readers will catch all the subtle emotional echoes woven in from earlier books.
Balogh’s writing here is rich, introspective, and deeply romantic, with a satisfying balance of tenderness and restraint. It’s not just about falling in love—it’s about earning it, learning from it, and finding the courage to choose it.
Lush, tender, and quietly powerful—Remember That Day is classic Mary Balogh at her best. A soulful, mature love story that lingers long after the last page.
