Lauren Royal wrote an enchanting tale of how disaster can bring people together in the most unlikely of ways. The chemistry between Colin and Amy was so swoony! I had to keep reading to see what would happen next. The dialogue was more modern than from the 1600s, but peppered with some odd sayings. The pranks that Colin plays were over the top most of the time, and not that funny. The historical aspect was fairly realistic, but liberties were taken with the time period that made this story more fanciful and like a fairytale than historical. I really enjoyed the “historical fact checking” the author did at the end. I’d give When An Earl Meets A Girl three out of five stars.
