#Review: THE EARL NEXT DOOR by Amelia Grey




  4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy Ms. Grey's stories and this one is another enjoyable read. Adeline, Dowager Countess of Wake, finally free from her controlling and cruel husband, has vowed to never marry again and let another man control her. Her resolve starts to crumble when she meets her handsome and imposing neighbor, Lyon Marksworth, the Earl of Lyonwood. From their first meeting, sparks fly, but Adeline is determined to ignore and spend all her time and energy on her school for girls whose fathers' or brothers' died in a sea tragedy. Can Adeline control her desire for her sexy neighbor?

I loved Adeline. She was an unusual heroine--feisty, bold and passionate--not the usual sweet young miss just out on the marriage mart. I also adored Lyon. He was the perfect gentleman--kind, considerate although his ordered life is soon upset by the widow next door along with the young girls of the school. Their interactions are explosive from the moment they meet and it will take a compromise from each of them to finally have their happily ever after. The book is a quick read although I did figure out the twist in the story early on. While I loved the twist, the reader needs to suspense belief a bit and just enjoy it. Fans of regency romances will enjoy this story.

I voluntarily read this story and the opinions are my own.
