Not the Kind of Earl You Marry
by Kate Pembrooke
3.5 stars
Thank you to the publisher for giving me a free copy of this book! All opinions are my own.
It seems that I can’t get enough of regency romances and I really enjoyed this one. At the beginning of the novel, we learn that an announcement has appeared in the newspaper about the engagement between William, the Earl of Norwood, and Miss Charlotte Hurst. The problem is that they’ve never met and they’re not actually engaged! However, since the announcement was very public, they have to pretend to be engaged in order to avoid scandal while William is campaigning for an important political position, and to save Charlotte’s reputation.
I loved the premise (yes to a fake dating or fake engagement story) and I loved the dynamic between William and Charlotte. They get off to a bit of a rough start, but then he slowly grows on her. They both start to realize that despite their differences, they’re actually quite well suited. I loved that they were constantly teasing each other and that she had no problem dressing him down a bit and keeping his ego in check.
I did feel it was a bit repetitive in the middle, but then it picked up again. Also, it looks like this is going to be a series, with the next novel focusing on characters that appear in this book. I’m looking forward to it as I would happily return to this world.
