A Winter’s Earl

A Winter’s Earl 

A Regency Christmas Romance


by Annabelle Greene

⭐⭐⭐ /5


A mysterious letter claiming a “life and death” scenario brings Richard Ashbrook back to English soil after being exiled for for the past 10 years. This letter also happens to be written by the architect of his exile, the infamous poet and his former lover, Sherborne Clarke.


Upon arrival at Sherborne’s estate, he finds that the life in question is not his, but a newborn babe that had been left at his doorstep. Ashbrook is now tasked though the help of his cousin who facilitates a foundling home, to bring the babe to London.


This task is easier said than done the everything from the weather, to unexpected guests and misbehaving servants all get in the way of Ashbrook leaving the estate with the baby and his heart in tact!


This story was an extreme slow burn that had the chemistry between Ashbrook and Sherborne sizzling throughout. These two two had an obvious pull between them, but equal push as well due to their unsavoury shared past. I fund that the beginning dragged on and the book did not hit its stride until the 75% mark. I interest in these two characters and my desire for them to find an accord spurred me on to completion.


Overall, I was pleased with the ending, but I am left questioning if the story was too slow for my liking or if Annabelle Greene’s writing style is just not for my tastes.



A Winter’s Earl by Annabelle Greene was released November 9th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin, Carina Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
