The Unaffected Earl (Historical Romance)

Loved it as usual and so glad it was longer! Having been introduced to Lucien and Rose in Catherine's story I was more than happy to read their's. I so love a happy ending! The twists on the way to finding the bad guy made it even more interesting.

Many seek his favour, men and women alike, but few glimpse what lies beneath the Earl of Brantford’s aloof exterior. He’s earned the nickname the Unaffected Earl. Rose Hardwick was the most sought-after debutante in London until scandal touched her family and made her a social pariah. Rose is determined to prove her father innocent of the crime of treason, but first she must convince the Unaffected Earl to help her. When Lucien realises Rose I in grave danger he vows to protect by giving her his name. This is the third book in the series & although it could be read on its own to fully appreciate it I’d recommend reading the earlier books. The story is well written & flows very well so much so that I was very loath to put it down. The characters have plenty of depth, Rose is likeable & not at all the simpering debutante but highly intelligent & Lucien has certainly met his match. Lucien has built a façade of being aloof & always in control so I loved it when the façade crumbled & he lost control. I’ve read the whole series one book after another & found myself totally engrossed I only hope The Unsuitable Duke has his story as Ellen is certainly hiding something My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

How can a much sought after debutante become out of favor with the ton? Rose Hardwick's father was charged with treason and sits in jail. But she believes he is innocent and sets out to find a way to prove it. The answer comes from Lucien, the Earl of Brantford who is deemed The Unaffected Earl by society due to his aloofness. As Rose tries to convince him to help her, danger comes in to play and Lucien is determined to protect her. What he does is truly hero worthy but you will have to read to find out. There was almost a mystery about his past and Rose seems to be able to get under his outer persona and find the man he is really. I adored these two characters and their story will hold your attention until the end. Although part of a series, this can be read as a standalone, but you will want to read them all!
