Uncomplicated and unpretentious, a simple tale well told

This was a fun and enjoyable read. Jane is a refreshing main character. She is a determined to live the life she wants and she is quite unpredictable. The love between the characters takes its time to develop.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
The Earl’s Marriage Bargain is standard sweet historical romance fare, and I loved it for it with two lead characters firm in their convictions. I particularly liked Jane, and her determination to make something herself outside of marriage. And while I did not read book one in the series, I did like the overall concept of the women’s club with all of them wanting to pursue their different talents, and wish there was more time spent on it (Ah, well, reason to pick up/look out for the others!)
I felt for Ivo as well, given how he was nursing a past heartbreak, but given how he bantered with Jane, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would take to get them together.
Ultimately, this is a nice fluffy read that gives exactly what you expect, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If you’re looking for a Regency escape in category romance form, I recommend this one.
