seriously romantic: earl of london by louise bay

the self-titled the earl of london, logan steele meets his match in his feisty next-door neighbor, darcy westbury. she's connected to louise bay's other novels, and those characters do pop up here, but you don't need the full backstory in order to enjoy this.

i think my first impressions of logan and darcy weren't great. i loved the scene where they met on the grounds of logan's newly purchased estate and kind of wish the book had started there. the man-whore who treats women like crap alpha hero is so not my jam. and the thing is, for the most part, logan isn't that. and the root of darcy and logan's conflict isn't that he was a man-whore, it's that he's a weekender who doesn't truly respect locals.

darcy wants to build up her small village. she wants it to thrive, and more weekenders who spend their lives away from the village is the last thing she wants. on the one hand, it's a noble goal. on the other hand, she's so freaking militant about this she comes across as grating and insupportable at first.

these aspects of their personality soften and fade, and both logan and darcy have other angst to bring to the table to make for rocky relationship days. and as their relationship deepens and grows there's a lot to like. i just had a hard time overcoming that first impression.

**the earl of london will publish on august 28, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of louise bay in exchange for my honest review. keep reading for more information about the book.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Love left me off its to-do list.

I date. I’m all for giving guys a chance. I’ve just never met the one.

Until on a spring morning in the English countryside, a tall, dark stranger emerges from the mist.

Logan Steele is all tousled hair, hard chest and lips so perfect I want to reach out and touch them just to check they’re real. I’m sure that’s a thunderclap of chemistry I feel between us.

Did I mention he’s an Earl with a self-made fortune?

A billionaire who works tirelessly for charity?

And he’s so hot, watching him is like staring at the sun.

But like I said, love isn’t rooting for me.

When I find out Logan Steele is out to destroy everything I’ve dedicated my life to protect, the chemistry disappears and the hope that had blossomed my chest turns to rage.

It no longer matters that he quickens my pulse just saying my name, weakens my knees with a single touch and that he might just be the greatest kisser that ever lived.

I might believe in love but Logan Steele is definitely not the one.

A standalone romance.
