West End Earl

West End Earl


Misfits of Mayfair, Book 2

by Bethany Bennett


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Secret identities, boys who are girls, friends becoming lovers; this book was a tour de force! 


Calvin, the Earl of Carlyle has become dependant on his land steward and friend, Adam Hadriwck. These two are inseperabale, so of course when Adam gets attacked after a night out with the Earl and his friends, Calvin is the first to arrive and help him recover… only to discover after 2 years of friendship and working together that Adam is not a he, but a she… and now that he’s looking, what a she she is!


Ophelia has been masquerading as deceased twin, Adam for 11 years. She is so close to reaching her majority and finally getting her inheritance and being rid of her reprehensible uncle forever… too bad that Calvin has discovered her true self and now all her lusty thoughts are becoming a reality as they explore their attraction!


Oh my! I haven’t read a good gender surprise like this in a ling time! I loved how Calvin respects her choices after discovery and they are able to act on their interest on each other. Calvin was my kind of hero. I am a sucker for a fixer and as he tries to fix all his families problems, only ends up making ones for himself! Ophelia’s strength and determination was not to be missed! She wowed me in her perseverance and her willingness to do what needs to be done… even when it wasn’t easy.


This had everything I’m looking for in a good historical romance!



West End Earl  by Bethany Bennett is scheduled to release June 29th, 2021.

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.

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 ...
