An Engaging And Entertaining Historic Fiction Let Down By Its Pacing | “Curled up with an Earl” by Amy Rose Bennett Book Review

“Curled up with an Earl” is the second book in the Byronic Book Club series by Amy Rose Bennett, which takes us through the journey of Ms. Lucy Bertram as she searches for love and happiness.

Lucy’s fathers’ financial straits have become more and more strained recently, with Lucy having no knowledge about it.

With her father hiring a new head groom, Will, at a lower salary, Lucy’s feminine instincts are suddenly awakened and she is unable to stop her fascination with him. Little does she know that Will is not actually who he purports to be and that she and her family are at far more danger than she had originally imagined.

How will Lucy and Will be able to get through these tough times and have their own chance at happiness?

This story started off well and its intrigue element was seamlessly woven throughout it. I liked the way both Lucy and Will have been written; particularly I love how clever Lucy is.

I also liked how Will is always supportive of Lucy. Their romantic relationship felt very organic and believable. And the epilogue was a perfect ending to the story.

However, I also felt that there are pacing issues in the narrative and because of that, I have to deduct one star. This is otherwise an engaging and entertaining book that I enjoyed very much.

This book gets 4 out of 5 stars.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
