Synopsis: The first book in a new Regency romance series, an heiress and a rogue accidentally end up in a secret marriage of convenience.
In a desperate bid to keep her fortune out of her cousin's hands, shipping heiress Georgiana Caversteed marries a condemned criminal in Newgate prison. The scoundrel's first kiss is shockingly heated, but Georgie never expects to see her husband again. Until she spots him across a crowded ballroom. Notorious rogue Benedict Wylde never expected a wife. He was in Newgate undercover, working for Bow Street. To keep their marriage of convenience a secret, Wylde courts Georgie in public, but the more time they spend together, the more their attraction sparks. Could an heiress with the world at her feet find happiness with a penniless rake? Kate Bateman's This Earl of Mine is a delightful start to the Bow Street Bachelors series, with witty banter, dynamic characters, and swoon-worthy romance. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: Oh the schemes, the plans, how it all backfires on poor Georgiana Caversteed. It was fun to watch though. Georgie is a woman that needs to find a way to keep control of her father's shipping company without having to give it all away to a husband. Her plan is to marry a condemned convict, and when he's out of her hair, the company and money is all hers. It's a good plan, until things go awry. Her criminal husband is not who she thought he was, and he is very intrigued by her.
I enjoyed this story a lot. It's the start of a new series and I'd definitely be interested in reading more of it. This Earl of Mine is a mix of mystery and romance, which I think worked very well. I loved the romantic tension between Georgie and Benedict and I was also caught up in the mystery.
Kate Bateman's writing is really fun to read. I loved the back and forth between Georgie and Ben. They had a lot of chemistry together. The way they came together was just a lot of fun.
I really liked this first installment of the Bow Street Bachelors. It had all the steamy romance I needed, a great mystery, and two leads who were meant for each other. I definitely plan on reading more in this series.
