Curled Up With An Earl is a delightful, steamy Victorian era romance, more in the style of a Bridgerton than an Austen. Our heroine, Lucy Bertram, is a member of the Byronic Book Club is a whip smart, bookish botanist with a flair for independence. Will Armstrong is a sexy undercover Scottish aristocrat investigating a string of murders centered around Charles Darwin and the Linnean Society. As Will's investigation begins to intertwine with Miss Bertram's search for her missing brother, they find themselves inching closer and closer to a dangerous killer and perhaps... love?
The language was overly modern at times, but the characters were endearing. The narration is excellent and does a great job distinguishing between character. It was overall a wonderful listening experience.
