#Review: AN UNCONVENTIONAL COUNTESS by Jenni Flectcher



  4 of 5 stars
 
This is the first book I've read by Ms. Fletcher and it was an enjoyable read. The moment Captain Samuel Delaney walks into Annabelle Fortini's biscuit shop she's captivated by the handsome man. For the first time in a long while Anna is open to pursuing a relationship with Samuel. He's everything she's looking for--honorable, respectful and attentive, but when he confesses that in their first meeting he was tricking her so his friend could talk to her assistant, Anna is determined to dismiss him from her life. Except, Samuel is also smitten with the shop owner and vows to do everything in his power to win her back.

I loved that this book wasn't set in London amidst the glittering ballrooms, but in the quaint city of Bath. I adored Samuel--a man with his own secrets he doesn't want to share with Anna, but even though Anna has an aversion to the aristocracy, Samuel eventually tells her about his potential inherited title of Earl. I thought Anna's character was a little too rigid about her views on the aristocracy and it made her a touch unlikeable in the beginning. Of course, the one who stole the book is Samuel's grandmother with her outspoken and bold ways. She was a hoot!

I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
