An Earl, the Girl, and a Toddler

An Earl, the Girl, and a Toddler

Rogues and Remarkable Women - Book 2

by Vanessa Riley

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Jemina St. Maur is a survivor. She has survived the sinking of her ship from Jamaica to London, 2 years locked up in Bedlam, the loss of her memories before the sinking and the loss of her baby…


Jemina may be an sought after widowed heiress on the London marraige market, but she is more interesting in her work with the secret group, The Widow Grace that rescued her and helps other widows in need… she is still in need because she is in search of her past and her truth. And the only one who seems to have any answers is the handsome barrister, now the new Earl of Ashbrook, Daniel… but he’s not sharing his secrets with her!


Drawn together by a shared secret, Jemina and Daniel find that they have more in common than just the secrets they are keeping from each other. Soon they are put in a situation where they must marry, but yet they still can’t trust the other enough to share their secrets and it looks like their marring may fall apart before its even begun!


There was a lot going on in this story. I found that the back and other between Jemina and Daniel was fun throughout, but for me the story really kicked into gear around the halfway point. Before that I was not as invested. A shared trauma for our characters brings the second half of the book up to the next level and I found at that point I could not put the book down!


I ended up really loving this book in the end. Vanessa Riley does a great job of including racially diverse characters that that feel real and authentic. I also appreciate that she shows the realities of racism that her diverse characters would experience without sugar coating it. 


This was. Great read, but I would recommend readers read the first book in the series before stepping into this one because they are readily linked.



An Earl, the Girl, and a Toddler by Vanessa Riley is scheduled to release April 27th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Zebra,  Kensington Books through NetGalley. 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!

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.

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 ...
