A review by theblisstour
The Earl's Mistress by Liz Carlyle

4.0

I hadn't read [a:Liz Carlyle|21944|Liz Carlyle|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1215535084p2/21944.jpg] before, so I can't agree or disagree with the reviews that say this is a [unwelcome?] departure for her. I really like this book. I liked both of the main characters, Tony and Bella. They were complicated and proud, but most of all honest with each other. I believed the development of their relationship. Also, the kids had their own personalities, and they didn't annoy me as kids in historicals especially often to.

One issue though. Why did Tony keep saying he would use some kind of birth control but he never did? Not once! And Bella never stopped and said, hey I could get pregnant. Perhaps there is something we could do to prevent this.

Maybe another issue: I found the convoluted familial associations completely confusing. And the characters kept explaining to to make it clear. I don't understand how anyone is related to anyone else, although they all seem to be related to each other. Except oddly, the two little girls, Jemma and Georgie. Right? Still not sure.
