Another another from some thread here I use, again on a case by case basis, never replace all. But, it does fail on some lines if there 3 lines of text to join or a tag like <i> in the second section. I fix these manually first.
Find

Code:

(“[^”]*?)</p>\s+<p.+>([^“]*?”)

Replace

Code:

\1 \2

Another I use for split speech is
"bla bla bla,"
said Tom

Code:

,”</p>\s+<p.+">
or sometimes ([\,,\?,…,!])”</p>\s+<p.+">

Replace (space after " )

Code:

,”
