Earl Crush by Alexandra Vasti

5.0

Alexandra Vasti has done it again! The Belvoir series is only 2 books in so far, and yet it is already one of my favorite historical romance series. You get the nice cozy feels of a good regency romance, but also a modern touch and some action. 

In Earl Crush, we get to watch two adorable and intelligent humans with very poor self esteem come together and raise each other up. I ADORE Arthur and the fact that he does his best to protect Lydia without actually sheltering her. He appreciates her mind and ability to know what she can and cannot handle. I also love the he falls first trope and Arthur fell HARD 🫠 Lydia herself is fun to watch develop from an anxious wallflower into someone who finds a way to do what needs to be done, even if it isn’t spectacular. That in itself makes this book feel so realistic. 

We also get some espionage and conspiracy action in this book, which was super exciting. Lastly, Huw and his menagerie of abused animals stole my heart. I love it. I cannot wait to see where we go next and I hope we get a story for Georgiana at some point. I also wouldn’t mind more Hope-Wallace brother appearances.
