Forever Your Earl
Wicked Quills of London - Book 1
by Eva Leigh
Genre: Historical Romance
Eva Leigh's irresistible new series introduces the Wicked Quills of London: a group of bold, brilliant female writers whose spirited allure is beyond seductive . . .
Eleanor Hawke loves a good scandal. And readers of her successful gossip rag live for the exploits of her favorite subject: Daniel Balfour, the notorious Earl of Ashford. So when the earl himself marches into her office and invites her to experience his illicit pursuits firsthand, Eleanor is stunned. Gambling hells, phaeton races, masquerades . . . What more could a scandal writer want than a secret look into the life of this devilishly handsome rake?
Daniel has secrets, and if The Hawk's Eye gets wind of them, a man's life could be at stake. And what better way to distract a gossip than by feeding her the scandal she desperately craves? But Daniel never expected the sharp mind and biting wit of the beautiful writer, and their desire for each other threatens even his best-laid plans.
But when Eleanor learns the truth of his deception, Daniel will do anything to prove a romance between a commoner and an earl could really last forever.

I'm not a huge reader of Regency Romances, but lately I've been reading more of them to expand my horizons. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised once I started reading this book! The characters were very complex and felt like real people, the storyline was unique and fun and the dialogue was intricate and well thought out. I loved the snarky little bantering and romantic tension between Eleanor and Daniel! The emotions I felt while reading this story were palpable! There was quite a few times I was grinning and softly chuckling to myself over some of the situations and banter, other times I was ready to claw the walls in frustration and anticipation. The writing was just spectacular and well detailed all throughout the story. I was absolutely captivated by this book and mightily impressed with the author's writing!
