An Unexpected Earl

I really enjoyed this second chance romance. The story is well written and held my attention easily. I thought the blend of emotions, danger, steam, action, suspense and excitement was spot-on and it kept me on my toes and fiercely rooting for this couple to get their HEA this time around. Pearce and Amelia were likable and their history certainly tugged at my heartstrings. This was a great read and a solid entry in this thrilling series. I'm electing to post a candid review.

I love the men of the Armory!! they love fiercely and protect those they love. Pearce and Amelia's story grabbed me from the start. Lots of twists and turns, mystery, passion and adventure. Great story, can't wait for the next one!!

An Unexpected Earl by Anna Harrington, book two in her Lords of the Armory series is another wonderful read; filled with amusing banter, a second chance romance, magnetic attraction, chemistry, and subterfuge. Twelve years ago, Brandon Pearce, a former brigadier and now the Earl West, was forced to give up the girl he loved, Amelia Howard. After unexpectedly meeting again, Pearce is determined to help the girl he once loved save her property and the charity she's been struggling to build. Amelia is determined to save her brother, Frederick’s reputation, while needing to keep her own past hidden. In trying to avoid blackmail, Frederick needs to place a list of gentlemen into government positions and with no slots remaining he needed an ally in Parliament; hoping it would be Pearce. As a member of the Armory, Pearce has been investing Scepter, a criminal believed to be behind the government appointments. To do this, Pearce pretends to side with Frederick, possibly breaking Amelia’s heart. But Pearce will do anything he can for a second chance with Amelia, even after he discovers the secrets she’d been keeping. I do enjoy a story with a strong, stubborn heroine and an alpha hero who thinks he knows best. The battles and disagreements between Pearce and Amelia seemed to be an attempt at foreplay. Being a former military commander, Pearce expected people to obey his orders and requests. As you can guess, Amelia was not one to be obedient; knowing her own mind and determined to prove her independence. Pearce loved Amelia, especially her determination to fight for and protect those she loves. I really loved reading this book and had a great deal of trouble it down. Ms. Harrington wrote a beautiful love story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with kindness, magnetic attraction, off the charts chemistry, amusing conversations, and endearing characters giving Amelia and Pearce the opportunity for a second chance at love. I highly recommend An Unexpected Earl to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
