MY THOUGHTS
Earls Just Want to Have Fun by Shana Galen is the first book in the Covent Garden Cubs series and I was blown away! This book has all the things I LOVE about historical romance! We have a street-smart heroine and a stickler-for-propriety Earl and what do we get? An explosive romance and a fun read!
What I liked:
- This story is sort of like Pygmalion – where the rich hero trains the uneducated heroine to be a lady. I thought this was going to be the usual Pygmalion story but I was wrong!
- This brings me to the next thing that I liked: THE HEROINE Marlowe. I loved her strength and her snarky attitude towards the Earl. I also liked how she was taken cared of by the other Covent Garden Cubs. Because – the slums, and the dangerous men out to get all the lovely young ladies in Seven Dials!
- I also liked Maxwell, Lord Dane. Despite him being the snooty lord, he turned out to be a sensitive hero, that showed that he really loved Marlowe. I was already dreading his attitude when he was presented to us in the first few chapters because of his snootiness.
What I did not like:
Possibly NOTHING! I really enjoyed this book and I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!

I FINALLY read The Other Half of the Grave and I am kicking myself for waiting this long to read Bones’ POV! Halfway to the Grave was all in Cat’s POV and I was just so curious on what Bones’ was thinking – because let’s face it, Cat was very immature in Halfway and I couldn’t imagine a master vampire like Bones would put up with her.
The Other Half of the Grave did not disappoint. I love reading the book from Bones’ POV because now we know his thoughts and how he was reacting to Cat’s antics – as frustrating as Cat is! There are also new scenes here because this is Bones’ POV. It gave me another insight into what Bones was thinking.
If you are a fan of the Night Huntress series, then I highly recommend that you read Bones’ POV! If you can read this book alternatively with the OG books in the series, it would even be more immersing.

It looks like quite a fun read, I'm adding it to my list, thanks ! The title had already caught my eye and filled my head with that Cyndi Lauper song, lol 😉
That was why I picked the book up! Love that Cyndi Lauper song!
I had mixed feelings about this, and about Marlowe. She wasn't so endearing to me. I've gotten picky with my HR heroes and heroines from reading so much from the genre!
