this was pretty good. I wish the Anna had come out and say that she wanted him. I mean the man is stupid if he couln't see if she want it as well as he did. and the Clearwater girl just got on my nerves.

Look.. Liz just gets it. Some classic miscommunications keep our heroes apart, but not to worry!! True love wins!!

This was read as part of a " Bridgerton Challenge" Like Francesca's character we have a widow and a widower in the main characters.
I haven't read a historical romance in a long time , and this book was written so well, I read in one sitting , I had to know what happened with Edward and Anna.
The Earl is not what most would consider attractive, he has small pox scars on his face, which his former wife told him as she lay dying she wished she had never married him. He is a wealthy good man, cares about the farmers on his land ; doesn't mind getting dirty right along with them draining a field or helping with a crop. He hired Anna as a Secretary to help with paperwork in his estate; and he does fall first. He can't get her out of his head.
I really had no idea historical books would be so sexy ; a Victorian sex club ? The members wear masks? Anna decides she needs to go and enjoy the Earl on her own terms since she could never marry him?
This book far exceeded any expectations I had. I loved the characters; the banter was adorable .
And he bought her ROSE BUSHES.. not roses in a bouquet ? NO he bought her whole rosebushes for her garden. I loved how he talked to her as an equal and he loved how she listened and was interesting to talk to. He fell for her one moment at a time, I just loved every second.
4.5 stars.

This book started off ok, then sucked really bad the characters all suddenly had different personalities. Nothing they did lined up with their character, it was horrible.

I quite liked the hero, and the sex scenes were really hot and well-described. Two things I didn't like: At a critical juncture the heroine gets a blackmail note, and rather than talk it through with the hero she runs off. Very stupid. And second, the heroine isn't able to have children (previously married 4 years, no kids, husband has a bastard with another woman) and this is a major reason why she doesn't want to marry the hero (who really wants kids). Then they get married and boom, epilogue with a baby and another on the way, no explanation.
