Odd Earl Out

Written by Anna Bradley

Narrated by Heather Wilds

Juliet Templeton didn't embark on a risky London season in search of a fairy-tale. Fluttering hearts, yearning glances and stolen kisses are for starry-eyed debutantes, not disgraced, penniless females approaching spinsterhood. But when her quest to find a dull, respectable husband leads her to grumpy, maddening, brilliant Lord Cross, her foolish heart overrules her head, and insists on beating for him alone.

Flirtatious, witty Juliet Templeton is the last lady Miles Winthrop should have trusted with his heart, and the only lady he ever has. He leaves for the country to escape her tempting lips and teasing eyes, vowing to forget her. But when Juliet turns up at his house party in the wake of a disastrous ton scandal, he discovers he's still a captive to his deep desire for the bold, audacious beauty.

The passion that began in London soon flares to life again, sparking a battle of wits and wills that has them balanced on the brink of heartbreak, or happily-ever-after. Will their dangerous game of seduction end in ruin, or will two people who were never meant to be together, find they can't bear to be apart?

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for Odd Earl Out

[Andrea Author · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Miles holds a houseparty to find a bride for his cousin. He's shocked when Juliet arrives. He was ready to give her his heart until scandalous gossip linked her to another man. When she agrees to play matchmaker for his cousin, Miles lets her stay. Can Juliet convince him that she hasn't been untrue?

This book is laugh-out-loud funny. Miles and Juliet captured me right from the beginning. It's clear they belong together, even if he's sulky at first. This novella is a quick, enjoyable read.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
