Anna Bradley
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Odd Earl Out is a short and winsome story that is not only delightful but fun to read. The dialogue is engaging and at times quite witty. The MCs along with the supporting cast are well written and delightful. Unfortunately, because the book is so abbreviated, we don’t really get a lot of time with the two MCs to truly appreciate their relationship. What we do see, however, is sweet and heartwarming. I would have loved to see more of their time together in London to better understand the undercurrent that is there when they’re together in the country. That said, the book was overall enjoyable and a nice introduction to this author.
Juliet Templeton is a walking scandal at no fault of her own. Scandal seems to follow her family and resulting calamity ensues. She’s beautiful, witty and almost on the shelf. When a scandal erupts in London during her quest to find a husband, she escapes to the country to beg the one man she trusts to help repair the damage.
Miles Winthrop, Earl of Cross is boring. Staid…not the kind of man that women gravitate to. Yet, from the moment he and Juliet met …there’s been something sweet and fiery between them. She’s totally wrong for him. He knows this…but that doesn’t stop him from wanting her. When Juliet appears uninvited to his house party, the need and desire he’s been fighting rears its head…and there’s nothing he can do but surrender.
This was my first-time reading Anna Bradley…it won’t be my last. This books get a 3 1/2 stars rounded up to 4.
