Earl's Choice

Earl’s Choice by Jess Michaels Regency Royals #2 This author, this story, these characters provided me with a wonderful way to spend the day. I was swept into the past, given a swoon worthy hero and wonderful heroine to watch as they worked out whether their love would find a way to overcome the obstacles in their way. Loved Sacha and Thomas and was rooting for their HEA ending. What I liked: * Sacha: charming at six and still so at 23, strong, loving, caring, family oriented, knows her place, knows what she wants and why it may not be possible. Perfect for Thomas. * Thomas: Earl of Bramwell, destined for a princess, feels a spark for Sacha and not for the intended princess, dutiful, loving, kind, and perfect for Sacha * The royal family – all of them * Getting to see Ilaria and Captain Crawford and how they were doing – and the part shared was in the previous book but good for those that had not read book one * Remington “Remi” – prince, middle brother, playboy, wiser than anyone knows, protective, I am intrigued by him. * Grantham: king, eldest brother, reserved, loving, diplomatic, wants what is best for his country, worried, a good man, someone I hope to get to know better as the series progresses * Giabella: Queen, mother, miserably married and now widowed. Hoping she and Dash end up together and we get to hear their story. * The mystery of who is REALLY trying to upset the country, king, family, behind the attempted assassination of Ilaria. * The ending and how it plays out well for two in the family. What I didn’t like: * The assassin and whoever is behind the attempts made * The feeling that duty was more important than love and wondering how that would be dealt with Did I like this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Definitely! Thank you to NetGalley and The Passionate Pen LLC for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
