To Tempt a Troubled Earl by Fearne Hill
4.5
4.5 stars
Such a beautiful story, it gave me all the feelings! There was grief for a lost love, hope for a new life, a bashful love declaration, tender intimacy, an intense physical connection and the challenges of a forbidden relationship. I really really loved all of it.
Kit and Lando don't meet under the most favourable circumstances and it took them a while to start trusting each other and work together for a noble cause, but then they fell into each other's arms and they cannot stay apart anymore. Their connections is pure and strong despite their personal insecurities and the uncertainty of their relationship because of the times they live in, they find a way to stay together.
I adored how they yearn for one another, their intimate touches and kisses, their first time and all their furtive glances. Lando reminded me very much of Lucien and I liked all the connections that the author made between them.
What prevented me from giving 5 full stars:
I struggled a bit with the language, sometimes I had to look for the meaning of specific words, but I still liked this writing style very much, it helped me to lose myself into that world.
I also would have loved to see Kit meeting the twins.
The side characters are great: two snarky valets, Pritchard and Jasper, who know no boundaries and are all in their lord's business, and an enigmatic, very charming half-brother who definitely deserve his own story.
Can't wait for the next book!
Highly recommended
I received an ARC of this book from Gay Book Promotions and this is my honest review
