3 of 5 starsJack, Merrill, the next Earl of Ferrington, never dreamed he would be
the earl. He had a thriving shipping business in Boston and had no
intention of ever seeing his English relations after they treated his
father so horribly. Jack decides to go to London to meet his relatives
are and he receives nothing but criticism from the moment he meets them.
He flees the city and decides to wander the countryside before he
checks out his ancestral home where he meets Harriet Finch. Harriett has
no idea that Jack the Rogue as she calls him is actually the Earl of
Ferrington. They form an attachment, but when she finds out he lied to
her, she wants nothing to do with him. Can Jack win back her trust and
her heart?
This was a different type of regency romance and parts
of it were enjoyable. I liked learning about the Travelers and Jack's
friendship with them, but I didn't really warm up to Harriet. She
refused to listen to Jack's explanation about why he kept his identity
secret. Harriet's mother was annoying after a while with all her issues
and Mr. Winstead, Harriet's grandfather, was an arrogant and
insufferable beast. I was disappointed when he did not get his
comeuppance at the end of the book. That would have been much more
satisfying.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
