Not the Kind of Earl You Marry

An Unconventional Ladies of Mayfair Novel, Book 1

by Kate Pembrooke

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

A trick perpetrated by a political rival results in an unlikely alliance and a fake engagement… soon this fake engagement is feeling all too real and has both questioning what they really want in life and can they turn this fake engagement into a real marriage!

One would think that Miss Charlotte Hurst would be ecstatic with he prospect of marrying William Atherton, Earl of Norwood, but they would be wrong! Though her feelings definitely grow for him throughout their fake engagement, she knows that they come from different social levels and she could never fit into his lofty rank or become the political wife that he needs for with ambitions…

I loved that this is His. Rom. that shows a true distinction between the levels of the aristocracy. So ofter we see a duke falling for a lowly village girl that really omits to show the realities of the time. As well, the characters opposite natures balanced well together and their compromises for each other in the end rang true.

I enjoyed that these characters were brought together thorough a nasty trick (that totally backfires!) and their good natures make the best out of what could be an awkward situation and they find what they didn’t know they needed. This was a subtle Cinderella story and was a true delight to read!

Not the Kind of Earl You Marry by Kate Pembrooke is scheduled to be released July 27th, 2020.
