Mad About the Earl by Christina Brooke

Mad About the Earl by Christina Brooke

Everyone has their guilty pleasure reading and in February I have to read some romance.  Preferably a paperback romance.  For me good romances come in small packages.  I like them because they are just plain fun and you know everything is going to end well.  This one is no exception. 

This is a typical Regency romance, that is a sexier than most.  If you like your repartee witty and your shirts flounced this will hit the mark.  The uniqueness of this book lies in the personalities and appearances of the hero and heroine.  The hero is a brawny, burly and scarred man who sees himself as a beast.  His beauty is a gorgeous damsel who is stronger than her looks would make her seem.  While it is an arranged match, it is a match that both approve of, yet neither can believe the other could possibly be happy with them.
