Never Envy An Earl
Fortune's Brides book 3
by Regina Scott
-From Goodreads- The saucy Yvette de Maupassant is used to danger. She’s spent the last 10 years spying for England in Napoleon’s court. Now that her work has been discovered, she must hide, and what better place than the remote wooded estate of the Earl of Carrolton? Her friend Miss Thorn and that delightful cat Fortune place her in a position where she can pretend to be companion to the earl’s sickly mother. Yet one look at the earl has Yvette rethinking why she wants to stay. Gregory, Earl of Carrolton, is used to power. So why does one moment in the company of his mother and spinster sister leave him feeling powerless? And why does the look in a certain Frenchwoman’s eyes leave him weak at the knees? As danger draws closer, Gregory and Yvette must work together to protect her, his family, and the future of England, as they discover the greatest danger and delight is falling in love. ASIN: B07DM9R21V With her, his world will never be the same... I've always been a little leery of Regency Romance as they so often tend to be either silly or trashy but neither word ever enters my mind when picking up a Regina Scott novel. I have a few favorite Regency era authors and it's because of books like Never Envy An Earl that Regina Scott is right up there top with the best of them. | This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating. |
I'll confess that I did not care so much for Yvette in book two, for no real reason she just rubbed my fur the wrong way. But, I am happy to say that she completely changed my mind and just like Gregory she quite won my heart. I absolutely loved how she spoke her mind, stood up for the defenseless, and completely turned one earl's life totally upside-down.
Never Envy An Earl had all of the wit, sparkle, and charm of the first two Fortune's Brides books. And also like them, the liberal helping of danger and intrigue was the perfect yin to the historical romance's yang. If you are a fan of Regency era fiction I cannot recommend this book and series from Regina Scott, the are fun and a delight to read.
