The Bachelor Earl by Darcy Burke
5.0
It's a nice change to see a romance where the hero and heroine are a couple in their forties. The author does a lovely job of expressing the poignancy of a widow returning to society after losing a beloved husband. For example, when Genie meets a gentleman at the house party she's attending, she thinks to herself:
He looked to be the same age as Genie, with some gray streaking his dark hair. He was attractive in a distinguished, mature way. What did that even mean? It meant she hadn't considered anyone attractive since she'd met Jerome almost twenty years ago.
This deftly written book has all the things I love in Regency romance, yet the older couple provides welcome variety.
I received a NetGalley ARC, and this is my honest review.
