Earls Just Want to Have Fun by Shana Galen [Book Review]

[book-info]

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!
