Wicked Earl’s Club: Book 5
Publication Date: March 9, 2021

A seductive Welsh earl on the brink of ruin. A wealthy cit in search of a hero.

Miss Evelina Franklin reads too many romance novels. She’s certain a handsome duke—or dashing highwayman—is in her future. In the meantime, Evie entertains herself with the admirers vying for her fortune.

The Earl of Brecken needs cash. His late father left their Welsh estate in ruin, and his mother will not let him rest until it is restored to its former glory. Notorious for his seductive charm, he searches the ballrooms for a wealthy heiress. His choices are dismal until he meets Miss Franklin. Guileless and gorgeous with an enormous dowry, she seems the answer to his prayers. Until his conscience makes an unexpected appearance.

The Review

EarlofBrecken-REVIEW-FB Historical romances are one of my favorite genres to read from. I have a real passion for any kind of romance but historical has a special place in my heart. I started to read romance novels with historical and I’ve been in love with romance since.

The long dresses, the ladies maids, the dances, the teas, and lunches. It all sounds so wonderful and romantic. Until reality sets in and one has to deal with bad body odor because there is no soap. Bad breath had to be a big problem, not to mention tooth decay, because no toothpaste. No women’s rights, women can’t vote, they don’t even have a voice. Yet, I still love the idyllic idea of historical romance.

Earl of Brecken did not disappoint my fantasy of historical, at all. It was a very fast-paced read that kept me entertained.

I loved Evie and Doc and how their romance bloomed. Each of their mothers was elegant and funny and I liked them too.

There were no love scenes in this book. This isn’t a criticism. I just want the reader to be aware that this book is more on the sweet side.

This book is part of a series. One doesn’t need to read the books in order to understand what’s going on within the plot.

This book has got me intrigued to read the series though. So many books, so little time.

If historical romance is something that the reader is interested in, then I suggest this one.
