Captivating the Cynical Earl: A Historical Romance award-winning author by Catherine Tinley

5.0

There are a lot of subgenres in the historical romance that I enjoy, but regency was where I started and Catherine Tinley is quite amazing in it.

In this book we follow Jack Beresford, the Earl of Hawkenden, and Lady Cecily Thornhill in this journey. As we go through each chapter, uncovering their background, it was interesting. The characters were realistic and I could connect with them, since they appeared in the beginning to be a bit different from other characters, and in part that made me fascinated with uncovering their past.

Strong personalities, sweet moments and chemistry, mysteries to grab our attentions and a heartwarming story. I don't want to give out much about the development of the plot and the characters interactions, but it was touching and I loved it.

Overall, I love the story. I really did. Catherine Tinley gave us a story that had all the elements I enjoy. From the friendship to the romance. From the drama to the trust it built.
