About this ebook
To escape her traitorous father’s reputation, Lady Elizabeth has left behind the glittering balls of London Society to act as a governess. For the first time in her life, she’s independent and taking care of herself. All is fine...until the irresistible Lord Hawkins arrives at her employer’s house.
Lord Hawkins is a rake of the highest order, but the beautiful governess working for his cousin makes him want to act like a gentleman. After an attempt on her life, Hawk discovers who Elizabeth really is. Now under orders from the Home Office to bring her in, he vows instead to protect her.
Hawk may be handsome and honorable, but falling for him will surely bring Lizzie heartbreak. Especially when he proposes the only way to keep her safe is to marry her. She doesn't want his name if he’s only doing it out of a sense of duty. But someone in the Home Office wants Lizzie dead, and even becoming his countess may not save her life...

I liked the story, the style of writing with good dialog, and how the romance between Hawk and Lizzie developed. What prevented me from giving a 5th star was Lizzie (repeatedly) thinking she'd lose her independence and freedom to make her own decisions by marrying. She's a young woman basically hiding from the outside world and working as a governess, although in a very accommodating household. She's in a precarious situation; how she could think she had freedom? The ending of the story and the exposure of the culprit was a bit rushed and eye-roll worthy. I read an advance copy and voluntarily post my review.

I absolutely loved Captivating the Earl! It's a captivating story filled with romance, mystery, and adventure. The characters are incredibly well-developed and the chemistry between them is undeniable. The plot is full of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end. If you're looking for a heartwarming and enchanting read, this is definitely the book for you.

Her father brought disgrace to his family, including Lady Elizabeth or Lizzie. She's safe in an unlikely spot, until she's found out; but she may not be able to return for questioning... Enjoyed the premise and story. Delightful and mysterious.
