How to Catch an Errant Earl

How to Catch an Errant Earl

The Disreputable Debutants #2
by Amy Rose Bennett

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Amy Rose Bennett manages to harken back to classic historical romances, yet she gives her writing a fresh spin! Fans of Loretta Chase’s Lord of Scoundrels will be pleased with this tale.

As I started How to Catch an Errant Earl, I wasn’t sure what to make of the motley crew… a group of friends expelled from a young ladies’ academy together, but the story quickly picks up speed when the focus narrows in on  Miss Arabella as she prepares to leave London with her family for a a grand tour. She is an orphan living off the kindness of her mother’s family (which isn’t so kind!). It’s hard reading how the extended family treats her so poorly based on her mothers action. When she comes across Gabriel Holms-Fitzgerald is known as the Errant Earl, as she explores a dungeon in Switzerland sparks fly. Soon they are found in a compromising position and forced to marry. 

Since Arabella has found herself married to one of Londons most notorious rakes, you would expect things to get pretty steamy… but alas, his parents marriage has been put into question by his heir (cousin). Not willing to risk creating a child that will suffer from the consequences they decide to not make a baby… Arabella takes this even further and pushes all intimacy away, fearing that her rake of a husband will only tire of her eventually and pursue passion elsewhere. She must guard her heart.

Too bad that while she trie to guard her heart she is erecting a wall between them. Can they find a way to get back the early intimacy and sparks from the beginning?

The characters both suffer from major trust issues, but are bot h genuine and likeable. There is nothing better than the union of a reformed rake and a bookish spinster to make my heart melt. I loved how the character end up supporting each other in their pursuits and grow together.


How to Catch an Errant Earl by Amy Rose Bennett is scheduled to release April 28th, 2020.

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