She has spunk and isn’t afraid of much in this world, well except for losing her job, being thrown out on the street with no way to care for and feed her younger sister. In Bed with the Earl, the first book in the Lost Lords of London series, is exactly my kind of tale with the headstrong female trying to break the norms of society and a man who is broken but just needs the right kind of woman to love him through all of his scars, both physical and emotional. Will love be enough to protect them from a treacherous plot devised to ruin them?īeing a woman in a historical romance in London kind of sucks and yet I find myself whisked away to another place and time anytime I pick up a book by Christi Caldwell. But when the charade ends, the danger begins. The intimacy of this necessary arrangement-Verity and Malcom thrust together in close quarters-soon sparks an irresistible heat. How to keep them at bay? Verity must pretend to be his wife. Damn the feisty beauty who exposed the contented tosher to a parade of fortune-hunting matchmakers. Kidnapped as a child, with no memories of his well-heeled past, Malcom prefers the grimy spoils of the culverts to the gilded riches of society. Now that Verity’s made him front-page news, what will he make of her? That’s precisely where she finds happily self-sufficient scavenger Malcom North, lost heir to the Earl of Maxwell. To solve a mystery that’s become the talk of the ton, no clues run too deep for willful reporter Verity Lovelace.
