An Earl in Wolf's Clothing by Emily Windsor

Seriously, I'm so done with stories that feature women who are just puddles of hormonal goo whenever the H smiles he way. I appreciated the h who wasn't a doormat. The whole 'I can't tell you the truth and correct your misunderstanding about what you heard' angst was a bit annoying, but his persistence and groveling overcame that. The H was a study of a sweet and loyal H who made his blunders but then more than made up for them. While the story itself wasn't anything particularly original, the MCs completely sold this one. If you're open to reading an engagingly told HR, check this out. The historical aspect is very thin and the language is mostly modern with a random phrase or term thrown in there to keep the historical facade going. If you're a stickler for historical accuracy and are picky about societal norms, behaviour, and dialogue, this isn't for you. It was an easy read with plenty of cheese and fluff. With dubious assistance from a roguish marquess, a strait-laced duke, and even the occasional poet and famous actor throwing in their sixpence, the earl will try any ruse, any rule in the book to recapture Sophie’s heart.Ī sensual Regency romance with warmth and wit. What’s an earl to do when his almost betrothed refuses to speak to him, hear him out or even look at him after a misunderstanding of gargantuan proportions? Now a year later, she’s back in London – stronger, better attired, armed with her cousin and determined not to fall for the blackguard’s wiles again. Miss Sophie Beckford escaped to Ireland after her almost betrothed broke her heart. But for success, the Earl of Kelmarsh may have to enact the Rules of the Rogue…

From the hallowed halls of London’s Almack’s to the unkempt taverns of Drury Lane, from whispered words in glittering theatres to seductive kisses at Vauxhall Gardens – an earl must pursue his lady.
