Twelfth Night with the Earl

As far as Ethan Fortescu, Lord Demon is concerned, his family’s seat in Cornwall is only a source of torment, one that he’s managed to avoid for two years. He’s now the Earl of Devon & so he can close the door on his haunted past by locking up the cursed place for good. But upon arriving at Cleves Court, he is shocked to find the house aglow with Christmas celebrations, filled with music and laughter. And right at the centre of the holiday madness is the infuriating and eternally tempting Theodosia Sheridan who’s now the housekeeper & she has always loved the town of Cleves, especially at the holidays. As a girl, she also loved Ethan with all her heart. It’s painful to see how his brother Andrew’s tragic death has embittered him. Still, she will do anything to make sure the town thrives even if it means going to battle with Ethan to save Cleves Court. Now she has only until Twelfth Night to make a Christmas miracle happen or Ethan will depart for good. A heart warming story, we met Ethan in Lady Charlotte's First Love & I’m glad he’s had his HEA. Ethan & Thea have loved each other since they were children & shared a kiss when they were teenagers. Ethan needs to remember the good & happy times at Cleves rather than just the heartache & Thea tries everything she can to do this plus she’s aided by three orphans who worm their way into Ethan’s heart. This is the third in the series but doesn’t feature any Sutherlands & it could very easily be read on its own. The characters are well developed Ethan changes from the haughty Earl to be the man who cares about others My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Although I haven't read the actual book, I find it interesting and absorbing to have to read. From the summary above, I will definitely feel that it is worth my free time for enjoyment which I always find myself " transported to that bygone era". I will be immersed in the story and will not hesitate to stop reading it.
