Book Information

Right girl, wrong Earl

Wallflower heiress Lydia Hope-Wallace's secret life as the anyonymous author of seditious political pamphlets has led her into a correspondence with the charming Earl of Strathrannoch. When she learns he's in dire financial straits, Lydia sets out for Scotland to offer him a marriage of convenience.

Arthur Baird, Earl of Strathrannoch, is stunned when a bewitching stranger offers him her hand in marriage - but when he realizes that his traitorous brother has been writing to her under his name, he's bloody furious.

Desperate to track down his estranged sibling, Arthur needs Lydia's help. What he doesn't need? The attraction that burns hotter each moment they spend together. As Lydia slips past his defences, Arthur will have to risk everything to keep her safe - even his heart.

Earl Crush is a sophisticated and delightful historical romance.

With strong characters, witty dialogue and an intriguing plot this book provides a fun and adventurous read.

I enjoyed Lydia and Arthur's first meeting. It was full of humour involving mistaken identity and a very gruff Arthur. I loved how nice Arthur turned out to be and how quickly he began pining after Lydia and his little bit of jealousy over the feelings he perceives she has for his brother.

The espionage storyline lent a suspenseful edge to the book but what I enjoyed most was the slow burn romance.

I loved the audiobook version of this book. The dual narration was excellent and made the characetrs and the story come to life. It was so easy to listen and get immersed in the performance. A wonderful production.
