This Earl of Mine

I've been buddy reading a lot of historical romance with Ashley and this was our first one of 2025. This was another just ok book for me and Ashely ended up feeling the same way. The romance was my favorite part of this book. It also had a bit of a mystery which I did like but I felt like it took over the story a little too much for my liking and it was solved way to easily. Also, while I did love the romance it took too long for things to start happening which is a personal preference thing. I can't write this review without talking about the thing that probably bugged me the most but it's a bit spoilery so if you haven't read this yet then I suggest skipping this next part. Throughout the whole book there's an underlying message of love who you love no matter their social status/how rich they are. I loved that and the fact that both sisters end up with who they wanted to be with despite the class differences. What I didn't like is how at the end both of the guys miraculously come into money anyways. That just annoyed me so much. Overall, this was a good start to a trilogy, and I will be reading the next book in February with Ashley.
