The Earl Takes a Fancy

Sins for all Seasons Series (5)

by Lorraine Heath

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

The youngest of the Truelove siblings, Fancy, finally get her turn to fall in love… and she has fallen for the mysterious Earl of Rosemont who’s deceased wife has an article printed on the one year anniversary of her death. She exhausts her and the Earls grand love affair and beseeches the your debutants to reach out and help him find love again… all very romantic. But sadly, untrue.

★★★

The Earl of Rosemont is in hiding from the debutants of London, when he happens to meet Fancy as she works at her bookstore. He is immediately drawn to her by her kindness and generosity. They spark up a friendship, but decides not to tell her who he truly is because she confessed to her desire to marry a lord. He wants to find someone to love him for who he is, not the title.

★★★

This was a fun read that had me turning the pages pretty quick! As you would expect with a Lorraine Heath book the bedsport was steamy and descriptive. Another great element was seeing the rest of the Truelove family and getting to see more of the matriarch, Ettie Truelove. I found Fancy’s character a dichotomy between an adult, independent woman and one that is still a child. I suppose you could say Heath captured the embodiment of the youngest sibling in Fancy. Matthew, Lord Rosemont’s character was atypical scorned romantic, needing to learn to trust again.

★★★

I enjoyed reading this book, but I feel like it was a little softer that the previous books in the series. I’m looking forward Beast’s book, the last book in the series…

The Earl Takes a Fancy by Lorraine Heath is scheduled to release March 31st, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books through Edelweiss+. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love! Childhood neighbours, Devlin Ware and Gwyneth Rhys never know the other felt the same attraction and pull towards the other until the stars aligned at the neighbourhood fete and they finally discover their mutual affection… but they were not mean to be young lovers, since family scandal befalls Devin and he is banished from his family home. White no where to go and a determination to shed his innocence and become a man, he enlist in a foot regiment… and stays away at war ...

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance! Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed. De...

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
