West End Earl by Bethany Bennett

 


From the series guaranteed to "win the hearts of Regency fans” comes a story of secret identities, unlikely love, and forbidden romances that will warm even the coldest of hearts (Publishers Weekly).

While most young ladies attend balls and hunt for husbands, Ophelia Hardwick has spent the last ten years masquerading as a man. As the land steward for the Earl of Carlyle, she’s found safety from the uncle determined to kill her and freedoms a lady could only dream of. Ophelia’s situation would be perfect—if only she wasn’t hopelessly attracted to her employer.

Calvin, Earl of Carlyle, is determined to see his sister married this season. And he’ll do it with the help of his trusted right-hand man. But when he finds out his man is a woman, and that her life is in danger, his priorities change. Their attraction is passionate, all-consuming, and if they aren’t careful, it could turn downright deadly—for both of them.


My Review


West End Earl by Bethany Bennett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ophelia Hardwick has spent the last ten years posing as a man. Her deceased brother Adam to be exact. It got her away from her cruel uncle. Who was ready to marry her off at twelve. With the help of the local vicar, Opelia becomes Adam and enjoys the freedom of being a man. Eventually, this leads to her working for Calvin, the Earl of Carlyle. His only focus at the moment is getting his sister married with Adam's help. If only Adam would agree to marry his sister.

When Cal is notified about Adam being attacked he rushes to his friend's side to make sure he is alright and discovers Adam's secret. They also discover that Adam's uncle is behind the attack and won't be easily stopped. So for her safety, Cal convinces Phee to move in with him. But now Cal can't help noticing how attractive Phee is and wonders why he never noticed her before.

Lots of funny moments. I did not want to put this book down. I was convinced they would be caught
I can't wait for Emma's book.

Review: The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham

source The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham My rating: 5 of 5 stars I knew this book would deal with some heavy topics. I never expected it to leave me in tears. Once I finish a book I can usually dive right into the next without a problem. But this one haunted me. I knew it was fiction but knowing that these types of things happened in the past weighed on me as I read. Winny is ninety-seven years old, living with her granddaughter and great-grandson Jamie, the spitting image of her late husband. An old wooden trunk has them asking questions when it's contents tumble out. It's part of Winny's painful past she longed to forget. And when they ask her about the family tree she starts her story at what brought her to Canada. The book is told in parts each one starting in present day. Then the chapters move to the past told from Winny's point of view and switch back and forth to Jack's point of view. They are indentured servants who were told that they wer

The Good Lie by A.R. Torre

Six teens murdered. A suspect behind bars. A desperate father. In a case this shadowy, the truth is easy to hide. Six teenagers dead. Finally, the killer behind bars. But are the games just beginning? Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives—predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning—and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development… Defense attorney Robert Kavin is a still-traumatized father whose own son fell prey to the BH Killer. Convinced of Thompson’s innocence, he steps in to represent him. Now Robert wants Gwen to interview the accused, create a psych profile of the killer and his victims, and help clear his client’s name. As Gwen and Robert
