This Earl of Mine by Kate Bateman
4.0

Trigger warnings: Mentions of sexual assault, and attempted rape, war, and violence.

This book was everything I needed right now. It was funny, it had a fun mystery element, good smut, and a interesting take on the regency era. The shenanigans in here were pretty great, and all the characters were really enjoyable. I really like our MC's younger sister Juliet, and I wish that she would have had her own book. Unfortunatley, she gets married in here. I also really liked our MC's mother, she felt like a highly toned down version of Mrs. Bennet from Pride and Prejuidce (but likeable if you know what I mean). I do wish the side characters, Alex and Seb, were featured a bit more, as this trilogy is about the 3 rakish friends, but whatever that was just a personal preference. Anyways, this was really good, highly reccomened.
