Jenny Holiday always writes the sweetest books!  This series is a fun, modern, take on the classic regency romance. I love the friendship the Earls have with each other and their pure support. We all need friends like Effie, Archie, and Simon. ❤️

Regency era in England sexism/misogyny/classism. All mentions of child abuse are referring to past memories/PTSD, nothing is happening in real time. More details on the child abuse and brief animal cruelty:

Effie (now 28) recounts childhood memories of his father breaking his arm, other physical abuse, locking him in a cupboard for over a day, and drowning his new puppy.
