ARC Review: Wedding Night with the Earl by Amelia Grey

OMG! This book was so adorable! Sadly this is the last book of The Heirs’ Club of Scoundrels Trilogy. Thankfully it can be read as a stand-alone. The only one of the series I have read before this was a novella, The Duke and Miss Christmas; I loved it. This one was such an enjoyable story I loved all the characters it was a nice quick read for me I practically inhaled it. The interaction and the witty banter between the two is funny and really made the story, not to mention the adorable little boy and an energetic big dog.

Adam Greyhawke was nicknamed The Beast after rumors went around about his behavior after the death of his wife and unborn baby. Adam became a recluse, he moved to the country to rusticate in his misery. He vowed never to marry and have children again, fate was not on his side his brother died and he inherited the Earl title. Adam petitioned the King to pass the title on to the next in line, the next inline is his five year old orphaned cousin, Dixon. Now Adam is in charge of Dixon’s education and that he has to take care of the titled estates and business dealings until Dixon is old enough to take over the title himself. Adam must go to London to learn the business dealings and is satisfied with Dixon as his heir but doesn’t know what to do with the boy.

Miss Kathrine Wright is the orphaned niece of a Duke she came out three years prior and promised that this year was going to be her last by the end of the season she will be betrothed. Kathrine’s problem is that she has a limp, as a young child she was in an accident, an accident that killed her whole family. She then went to live with her Aunt and two Uncles, who dotted on her. Kathrine wants to marry for love and have a whole passel of kids to be named after her siblings who never had the chance to live their lives. Kathrine was ready to settle when Adam walked into her Uncle’s dinner party.

Adam is immediately taken with Kathrine, he couldn’t resist stealing a kiss at the end of the night. That kiss changed everything. Adam has every bit of confidence that Kathrine could walk without the aid of her cane and even learn to dance. Kathrine was up for the challenge and for spending more time with Adam. All the time they spent together when they meet by accident started to start rumors and Kathrine’s Duke Uncle was insistent they get married. Adam and Kathrine run into their first hiccup when Adam tells Kathrine he wouldn’t risk her life getting her child. But of course it all works out in the end.

Overall, I want more. I will definitely have to go back and read the first two books. This will not be the last Amelia Grey book I read.

ARC Review: A Gentleman Says "I Do" by Amelia Grey

When I first saw this on NetGalley I immediately added it to my queue. I've had other books from this author on my TBR pile for quite sometime and I found myself very excited to pick this one up. I shouldn't have gotten myself so worked up because this book left a lot to be desired. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't really bad it was just okay. There wasn't anything that really stuck out for me with this book. It's just a book that has been done before by others and better.

Iverson Brentwood is seething mad. When a story is written in the paper about him and his twin brother depicting their mother in not such a good light he decides the only that can be done to rectify the situation is to confront the author himself. When he arrives at the mans home he is confronted by Miss Catalina Crisp, the authors daughter. Of course Iverson immediately finds himself attracted to Catalina. She's beautiful, feisty and she challenges him like no one else.

Catalina has a secret. She is actually the one behind the story. For the last three years she has been working on her fathers stories that he leaves unfinished so that they can get paid and keep their roof over their heads. When she is confronted by Iverson, she feels bad for the pain she has caused him and his family but knows he can never learn the truth behind the stories. He will tell everyone and ruin her father. So she keeps it a secret while at the same time she begins to look for her father so he can possibly put a stop to future stories about Iverson and his family from being released in the paper.

While all of this is going on, Catalina and Iverson are growing a lot closer. Iverson awakens feelings Catalina has never had before and likewise for Iverson. Iverson is known as the Rake of Baltimore and he in no way wants to settle down, but there is just something about Catalina that calls to him and he keeps finding himself drawn to her.

While I felt that the story-line has been done before and it was a little predictable, I will say I really enjoyed the way Catalina and Iverson reacted with one another. The way they both would go back and forth with each other was entertaining to read. They had some really funny moments with one another and some terrific one liners.

All in all, this book was okay. Nothing spectacular but not necessarily bad. Just kind of forgettable.
