Blame It on the Earl by Jane Ashford
4.0
4 stars.
If your looking for a story filled with passion, lust, and danger, this is not the one. Still, it is quite the adventure, and a wonderful read.
While there is romance involved, this was more of a story of two people who grow into their own together, and independently.
Sarah was a delight. She took her new role as wife in stride, and was so kind and gracious. But, to me, Kenver was the star of the show. Not in a “he’s so hot” kind of way, but more of a “I’m so proud that my boy is becoming a man” kind of way. The book starts out with Kenver being a passive young man, and ends with him learning to lead, and be more assertive. Throughout the book you see him learn so much, and grow more confident in himself. It was a pleasure to read. I also like that even with is newfound gumption, he still expresses discomfort with the role. It felt true to life.
( but when he said he made all those changes for Sarah, I swooned a tiny bit)
What also spoke to me the in the book was the dealings with family dynamics. It can be hard to go against the flow, especially if your family has been doing things a certain way for years, and you have become accustomed to that way too.
The one thing I was confused about was the Merlin/Oliver storyline… are we getting a story with him… I’m not sure what was going on with that.
