A Wicked Way to Win an Earl
Delia Somerset only wants her sister Lily to be happy when she agrees to attend a house party – that is until she comes across her host, the dashing Alec, Earl of Carlisle, in rather compromising circumstances. Her opinion of him as a rake and a scoundrel is fixed, although so is her interest. Alec in turn believes Delia is trying to entrap his brother into marriage and, angered by her connection to an old family scandal decides that the answer is to seduce her himself. The ensuing ballroom banter, misunderstandings and heated encounters in moonlit gardens are all that one would expect from the genre. A Wicked Way to Win an Earl is an entertaining debut from author Anna Bradley; a light, amusing Regency romance with fizz and sparkle. I look forward to her next.
