The Earl Not Taken

The Earl Not Taken 

by A. S. Fenichel
⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Four young ladies have come together after being sent to a finishing school for their unladylike behaviour. Upon returning home to London this gang of misfit wallflowers make a pact to ensure each other’s safety in marriage after one of their members was forced to marry a man who was abusive.

Men Lie, cheat and hurt women… or that’s what Lady Penelope has seen…
The most outspoken of their group, Lady Penelope Arrington has been at odds with her good friends brother since she met him and shortly afterwards found him in a compromising position with a village girl. Now they are forced together to investigate the character of the man arranged to marry her fellow wallflower. An undeniable attraction ensues, but Poppy can’t get over her ideals: she will never marry and/ or be the possession of any man.

This rogue has turned a new leaf… is it too little, too late?
Rhys Draper, Earl of Marsden has been working to become the right and proper Earl since his fathers passing and he inherited the title. He’s given up his mistresses and his roguish ways. The only thing he has not stopped is antagonizing his sisters best friend. Now, feeling guilty over his sister terrible marriage, he agrees to help the wallflowers out and this means time with Poppy. Will they every be able to stop insulting each other long enough to complete their investigation… or with their insults turn to kisses and passionate embraces??? Now, how will he ever get Poppy to forgive his past and want the things she has sworn never to have- marriage to the Earl.

This was a fun read and I’m excited to see where the other three wallflowers will find their HEA’s!

The Earl Not Taken by A. S. Fenichel is scheduled to release March 17th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms!  This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me!  ...
