One Good Earl Deserves a Lover<\/a><\/em> (2013) Sarah MacLean<\/p>\n

\"One-Good-Earl-Deserves-Lover\"<\/a>This one a really liked.<\/p>\n

Lady Philippa Marbury is engaged to Lord Castleton, who is very kind, but according to all the ton<\/em>, very stupid. Pippa’s sister and brother-in-law have both encouraged her to break the engagement, but Pippa made a promise, and she intends to keep it. After all, Castleton isn’t a bad man, he’s just going to bore Pippa out of her mind.<\/p>\n

Because Pippa is smart and–she fully admits–odd. She doesn’t always get social niceties, and she loves books and science.<\/p>\n

You see immediately why I like Pippa.<\/p>\n

Cross is another member of the Fallen Angel gambling hell (Borne was married off in the previous book), with a reputation as a ladies’ man. He was also brought on board by Chance, because of his ability to count cards (and also to keep the books). He was a second son, and living up to all that implied (lots of money and little responsibility) when tragedy struck, all of which set him on is current path.<\/p>\n

I really liked Pippa.<\/p>\n

\u201cMen are uncomplicated, generally,\u201d Sally said, all too sage. \u201cThey\u2019re beasts when they want to be.\u201d
\n\u201cBrute ones!\u201d
\n\u201cAh, so you understand.\u201d Pippa tilted her head to one side. \u201cI\u2019ve read about them.\u201d
\nSally nodded. \u201cErotic texts?\u201d
\n\u201cThe Book of Common Prayer. But perhaps you have an erotic text you could recommend?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI am not entirely certain that I support the profession.\u201d
\n\u201cNo?\u201d Thank God. He would not put it past Pippa to simply pronounce a newfound desire to explore all aspects of the world\u2019s oldest profession.
\n\u201cNo.\u201d She shook her head. \u201cI am concerned that the ladies are ill-treated.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I also like that Lord Castleton was a good and kind man. It made it all the more difficult to want to see Pippa break the engagement, because there was no reason to and because she’d be hurting him for no reason.<\/p>\n

It’s another fun story. Despite all the boinking.<\/p>\n

Set in 1831
