When the Earl Met His Match

4 stars — While there were parts of the book that frustrated me, the delightful parts were just so wonderful that at the end that’s what I’m left feeling. I appreciated Phoebe’s determination to seek out a better situation for herself. She’s definitely impulsive and reckless, but it’s tempered by her kind heart and sassy nature.

She's impulsive, he's controlled. I really enjoyed this book. Why? At first it took a bit to get me into the book, but then, once we are introduced to Hugh, I was all in. Hugh is mute (loved him and loved that he had am impairment). He's 25 and i really liked that he only had two other lady friends. Phoebe, the young teenage daughter of a duke is impulsive, head strong and more than a bit willful. She and Hugh correspond through anonymous letters for months.

Recommend. Well done, Stacy Reid.
