Suzanne Enoch: Good earl hunting

Suzanne Enochin historiallinen viihdenovelli löytyy Helmetin e-kirjoista: Good earl hunting (Nancy Yost Literary Agency, 2012; ISBN 978-1-617-50860-8).



Kirjassa on kevyttä päähenkilöiden välistä sanailua riittämiin, mutta romaaniksi asti aineksia ei ole, eikä novellistakaan paljon mieleen jää.



Geoffrey Kerick, the Earl of Vashton, has had marriage-minded ladies flung at him for the past two years—since he inherited his brother's title and wealth—which is much less amusing than when they were simply flinging themselves into his bed for fun.

However, this particular invitation for a country house party in Devonshire he accepts with alacrity; because this time someone has caught his eye.

Theodora Meacham is resigned to being second; a second daughter, second in beauty, and a distant second in charm. Knowing that the irritating Lord Vashton is coming to Beldath Hall to woo her sister, Theo is, for once, quite happy to remain detached from the silliness. But Lord Vashton isn't preciselyt he boor she expects. Even more surprising, he seems determined to ignore her sister... in favor of her!

Can two people who are perfectly ill-suited find that two wrongs do make a right?
