Lorraine Heath always dreamed of being a writer. After graduating from the University of Texas, she wrote training manuals, press releases, articles, and computer code, but something was always missing. When she read a romance novel, she not only became hooked on the genre, but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. She’s been writing about them ever since. Her work has been recognized with numerous industry awards, including RWA’s prestigious RITA®. Her novels have appeared on the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists.
Matthew Sommersby, the Earl of Rosemont, lost his wife a little over a year ago and since that day he has had to deal with women falling at his feet vying for the chance to become his new countess. But he isn't too eager to enter into marriage again, his last wasn't a happy one, as he was trapped into it by his late wife. But after a chance meeting with a beautiful bookshop owner he suddenly starts to reconsider his stance on the subject.
The Earl Takes a Fancy is a delightful historical romance story brimming with heart, emotion, and drama. This one had me stepping out of my comfort zone a bit, but I must admit I enjoyed what I found between the pages here, it was a slow burn, high anticipation romance. Matthew and Fancy's relationship had a nice natural progression to it, and it was good to see a friendship take hold first before the romance bloomed, I enjoyed watching them fall for one another. This was a fun read to settle down with, the characters were well drawn and easy to connect to, and the words were heartfelt and entertaining! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
