An Earl Unmasked (Ladies of Risk Book 1)

This was a great beginning to the Kent sisters adventures. Loved the love between the the siblings and the baby sister innocently lands into a relationship with her beloved neighbors son just returned from the war.

Will they let doubts and others prevent them from a shared happiness….I was very curious about this new series by the author, one which does not involve spy nor long trip or dangerous situation.It was so with surprise I read it in one sitting, so eager I was about knowing how Diana and Randal would resolve their conundrum as none looked like ready to lose ground nor concede they felt something deeper than mere attraction toward the other.This fun fast paced story introduce a whole new set of characters, each with their own talents and flaws. Diana is the youngest daughter, and while there are all more or less scholars, she lives by her books and solving riddles. Why she entertained the idea of failing her first season just to be able to address her neighbor’s last puzzle. Alas, with his passing, his heir prevents her from sorting the enigma.Randal is seen as a cold aloof soldier, gifted for strategy but awkward among people. His return, wounded, does not alleviate his feeling to be an outsider. So he pushes everyone away, and no one is to disturb this rest.Except the tenacious neighbor’s daughter who wants access to his library to get her answers about his late father’s last game.They were so sweet together, and while their personalities differed, they also complemented one another, her smile for his seriousness, his orderly side for her chaos, his scheme for her impulsivity. Their main problem being they are clumsy at expressing their sentiments, making at time a muddle of things but they are also right in their heart and do not give up.4.5 stars𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 a fun detailed foreplays/lovemaking scene.

An entertaining story that took off right from the start. Diana had been solving puzzles her neighbor had constructed, for a while. His last challenge is that if she does not marry for the season, she can come and get her last puzzle.Being her first season, she was more interested in solving the puzzle than anything else. But she finds her neighbor has passed away and his heir Randal has come home from war to take up his duties as the new Earl.As these two come together, sparks fly and challenges begin. But he has been wounded by the war and she is a free spirit is seems. Can these two find romance?A quick easy ready that starts the first in this new series!

What a fun way to start a series. I definitely enjoyed this story from beginning to end. I definitely look forward to the rest of this series

Randal Wilson the new Earl of Chestwich, returns home after his father's death with a head wound from the war. All he wants is to be left alone. The old Earl for two years gives Diana Mulbury puzzles to solve using his library. The last puzzle was not to be opened unless she was unmarried and not betrothed during the season. Given permission to return to the library she will attempt to find his most treasured verses. No Trespassing signs are not going to keep her from the library. Once Diana gains entrance to the library she falls and injures her ankle. Her siblings descend on Chestwich totally disrupting Randall's life. Suddenly Diana is falling for Randal, does he feel the same? Constant interference, funny and hopeful, it is not an easy romance for Diana and Randal. Likeable characters to keep up the pace. Steamy!!!I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

This is a sweet and spicy historical romance with some sour mixed in along with relatives who are positive they know best , along with a bully and a snake in the grass so to speak.there’s laughter, humour, witty banter, and family dynamics and so much more😜💃🏻❣️🤷🏻‍♀️🤨 HEA

The hero returns from war mildly scarred. But the neighbor family supplies delightful daughters and protective sons enough to give the hero love, laughter and the family love he grew up without.

I like this family. They're interesting. Would be nice to see the matriarch and patriarch united in the love they've missed out on. Eventually.

This is a marvelously created first book in this promising series. All the characters are amazingly crafted, and have an emotional journey to a steamy acceptance off their desires.
