Tracy’s Review:

The Lord's Inconvenient VowThe Lord’s Inconvenient Vow by Lara Temple

Tracy’s rating: 3.5/4 of 5 stars

Series: Sinful Sinclairs #3

Release Date: October 29, 2019

Lady Samantha “Sam” Sinclair and Lord Edward “Edge” Edgerton grew up together in Egypt, Edge left for war with Sam’s brothers, but is now back. Sam always thought Edge was too stuffy and proper, but now that she is 18 she is seeing him in a new light – but almost as soon as she realizes he owns her heart, he breaks it with the news that he is returning to England to marry. In a moment of insanity, she kisses him and he kisses her back, but quickly comes to his senses and breaks the kiss and leaves her.

Eight years later, Sam is now the widowed Lady Carruthers and is once again in Egypt when she crosses paths with Edge again. Their time apart has been riddled with heartbreak – Sam suffered an unhappy marriage because she couldn’t love her husband and he punished her by using his natural daughter to taunt her and then broke her heart anew when the little girl passed away. Her only real joy is illustrating pictures for the Desert Boy books, a wildly popular series that has taken England by storm and the author is unknown – even to Sam. Edge didn’t fare much better, he is also widowed, his wife was unhappy and left him after giving birth to a son, Jacob. Edge loved Jacob with all his heart and was broken when he died. The only reason he has come out of seclusion is to find his missing brother Rafe, the Duke of Greybourne. This has lead him back to Egypt and Sam.

He plans to stay only a day, but is convinced to stay a little longer and let his uncle Poppy’s sources find some new leads. He gets his lead and is preparing to leave, when Sam proposes they marry. Stating they like each other and both want a family. To her surprise – he agrees and they marry within days. But he makes it clear, his main priority is finding Rafe.

Sam wonders if she has made a huge mistake, after an amazing wedding night, she feels Edge slipping away and he ignores her for almost the entire journey, he finally talks to her and she thinks they will be happy, but then he abandons her almost as soon as they reach London. When he returns, they again seem to make headway and then she learns the secret he has been keeping from her and it threatens to ruin everything.

I thought this was a good story, but it did drag a little, I wished the author gave more background about his brother and I had a hard time believe that both Sam and Edge were so completely oblivious to the other’s feelings, not to mention, I felt the title was completely wrong for this story. But all in all, it was a sweet story of second chances, healing and love. With wonderful characters, warm love scenes, a little heartache, a little mystery and a lovely epilogue. This is the third book in The Sinful Sinclairs, but you can easily read this title as a standalone.

Earl of Charm (Wicked Earls' Club)Barbara’s rating: 4 of 5 stars

Series: Wicked Earl’s Club #17
Publication Date: 10/22/19
Number of Pages: 98

This was a lovely sweet addition to the Wicked Earl’s Club – Christmas edition. It was well-written and the story was lovely and uplifting. I loved the characters and can’t wait to read more about them in the spinoff series – The School of Charm. It was also lovely to have a brief visit with a former Wicked Earl, the Earl of Davenport, and his lovely wife.

Alexander (Alex) Gordon admired his older brother, Frederick, – well adored is more like it. Alex thought that his father was a wonderful earl and that Frederick was even better. Frederick was handsome, charming, full of vitality, wise – all of the things that made up an excellent earl. There is no way shy, studious, tongue-tied, quiet, honest, and brusque Alex can ever hope to fill his shoes. Except, that is exactly what has to happen thanks to Frederick’s tragic death in a hunting accident. While the former Earl’s of Charmain took delight in being called the Earl of Charm, Alex knew it would devolve into a derisive term during his tenure because charming is one thing he definitely was not.

Lady Clara Lovelace is the daughter of a disgraced line. None of it is her fault, her father the Marquess of Tarlow, had bankrupted the estate and then killed himself leaving Clara and her sister Edith with nothing and totally dependent on the charity of family members. She is now the companion of Gertrude Trumbolt, Dowager Duchess of Redmayne – also affectionately known as Aunt Gertie to Alex and his sister.

As Christmas nears, Clara and Aunt Gertie visit with Alex and his sister. Clara is charming and lovely and she quickly agrees to help Alex become more charming. Her best advice is for him to actually listen to the speaker rather than thinking of what his next comment should be – or even worse – instead of woolgathering. As they work together, he is more and more smitten and so is she, but they can never be. Because of her family scandal, she would only bring his family down, and he is expected to fulfill his brother’s obligation to his fiancée.

Will they get a Christmas miracle? Will his brother’s fiancée insist on marriage between herself and Alex? You’ll just have to read this delightful tale to find out for yourself.
