About this ebook

The Earl I Adore is the sweet/tame version of The Earl’s Bride.

My dearest James,

Since the moment we met at the Bradford’s ball a year ago, I’ve been entranced by you. Do you remember our first meeting? I’ll never forget it. While the music played in the ballroom and everyone danced, I stepped outside for some fresh air and discovered a kitten which had gotten stuck between two branches. I picked up a nearby wooden pail, overturned it and tried to rescue the sweet wee creature. Unfortunately, as I plucked it free, I wobbled and lost my balance. You bounded over bushes to get to me, caught me in your arms and surrounded me with your strength and compassion. That night so long ago, you rescued me, and I discovered a treasure. You.

Now, I could never allow that treasure to be lost, so even though you have an investigation to run so you might uncover who killed your father and brother, I simply can’t ignore your needs and walk away as you’ve demanded. It’s now my turn to bound over bushes for you, to aid you however I can.

You have been warned.

Yours, Sophia.

James Hargrove, the Earl of Donnelly, resolved that he had to discover who had murdered his father and brother. The official investigation had been concluded for two months now and their deaths ruled as accidental, each having drowned three nights apart near his father’s warehouses along the Thames River. This was too coincidental to be an accident! His friend, The Duke of Ashten, reminded him that so far, they had not made much progress. Ashten had suggested asking Captain Anteros Bourbon -- a spymaster with connections to the underworld -- for assistance, especially since they were sure there was foul play involved. James had tracked down the Captain. He told him also about a further mystery concerning a sunken treasure missing from the War Office where James' father and brother had sent it, and this had particularly gotten Captain Bourbon’s attention. Ashten and James made plans to search among papers the next day at the warehouse to see if there were any helpful clues there. Ashten had brought along his new wife and his sister-in-law, Lady Sophia Trentbury, with whom James had broken off his courtship before he went away to fight in the war. So matters could get a bit awkward and James was glad the ladies walked in the garden while the men talked. Sophia was a strong, intelligent woman, and not willing to just walk away from James, despite his trying to push her away for her safety. In fact, she was even more determined to help him with the investigation! Would they indeed find something to lead them to the murderer? This tame version of The Earl’s Bride has everything a reader would want in a great story! There was mystery, suspense, and romance enough to keep an avid reader happy! The characters were well presented and Lady Sophia was my personal favorite! You won’t want to miss this one to see if she finally convinces James of exactly what he needs as she diligently searches for clues!

Sophia loves James and she is not going to let him turn his back on her. On the other hand James on a mission to find his father’s murder. I love characters with attitude and that is what you have with this story. The combination of romance and suspense made for a delightful read along with witty dialogue you have a must read book. If you are into historical romance stories this will probably be one you would want to pick up and I highly recommend it. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

I always love reading Joanne Wadsworth's books. I enjoyed her writing style and look forward to read more of her work in the future. This is a great entertaining read and I got into the story immediately. A well developed plot and the characters were real, individual and relatable. A nice fast moving clean love story with a difference as the h takes a very active role in pulling their relationship together. There is romance with entertaining humorous banter, mystery and suspence that keeps you turning the pages and a HEA. I can recommend this book for all ages. Enjoy. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
