A review by katyanaish
For the Earl's Pleasure by Anne Mallory
5.0
***4.5***
This was such an unusual book. Honestly, it is a paranormal romance that happens to be set in 19th century London. I am shocked that they didn't market it that way, because I think a lot of people would really like that. As it is now, those readers sort of have to accidentally fall into this book.
I loved it. And the friends-to-enemies-to-lovers thing doesn't usually jibe with me. But this one worked so well... Mallory played it perfectly. That enemy action really only works if you can sense the roiling, conflicted, tortured emotions below the surface.
And boy, can you.
This book is not just paranormal historical romance... it is also a mystery. And quite a suspenseful one (my nerves were jangling!). I don't want to say much in my review, because I don't want to hint at any of the twists and turns. So all I will say is that I am becoming a big big fan of Mallory. I find her books to be refreshing, energetic reads with strong characterization and fabulous banter.

I will certainly be picking up more from her soon.
