What An Earl Wants
A Lighthearted Regency Historical Romance
Publisher Description
What’s a lord to do?
Benjamin, Earl of Sinclair, is living in chaos. So many of his well-trained servants are pairing up and running off to be wed that his friends begin calling him The Matchmaking Earl. Fortunately, his talented new secretary, J. Quincy, begins setting the household to rights. But imagine Sinclair’s surprise when he discovers the “J” stands for Josephine. His favorite employee is a lady in disguise!
Jo desperately needs this position, and never actually lied about her gender … though she didn’t expect Sinclair to figure out her secret so soon. If the ton finds out, the scandal could be devastating. She’s only going to stay long enough to earn sufficient money to move her ailing sister away from London. Can she succeed before word gets out and scandal brings them both down? And after working so closely with the handsome, charming Sinclair, can she leave with her heart intact … even if the earl now wants Jo as a match for himself?
Originally published January 2005. Lightly edited for 2021 as book 1 of the Scandalous Ladies series. Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone -- each is a complete story arc with no cliffhangers -- though most readers prefer to read them in the order published.
Customer Reviews
Could have been a couple hundred pages shorter
A pleasant story, kind of unbelievable, but an easy read. Reminds me of some other books with a similar premise. It dragged on a bit too long.
Amazing story
Love it, love it, love it!
Thank you
This book was too long
I agree with what one of the other reviewer said about this book being too long for no reason, it became so boring, I skip most of it. The book started off good but it just dragged on, and became boring. It made no sense to me.
