The Bookseller and the Earl

Written by Callie Hutton

Narrated by Melissa Durbin

Bath, London

1885

Miss Addie Mallory is finished with the husband hunt. After six London Seasons as a wallflower, she convinces her parents that she should be allowed to use her dowry to buy a bookstore in Bath where she can live her life the way she wants.

Lord Grayson, Earl of Berkshire has never gotten over his deceased wife’s betrayal with his own brother. He plans to make his life all about his son, Michael, who is deaf. When Grayson’s sister-in-law serves him with court papers declaring Michael incompetent with the intention of having her own son named as Grayson’s rightful heir, he turns to Addie, a dyslexic bookstore owner for help.

Addie takes a powerful interest in helping the boy. However, as time passes, Grayson’s and Addie’s joint venture to keep Michael from being declared incompetent leads to places neither one of them expected.

Or necessarily wanted.

Reviews for The Bookseller and the Earl

[Meg Blanchet · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Part of what I like about this book is that it doesn’t follow the usual formula of man finally marrying women in the final chapter. Refreahing
