The Earl I Adore
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
After receiving word that her sister has eloped, even ever-optimistic Sophie has trouble staying positive. She needs to secure her future before the scandal destroys her prospects, although she doesn’t relish the idea of a hasty marriage. But her longtime crush has just shown up for the summer festival in Bath. He may be the key to avoiding disgrace and getting a happily ever after…if she can bring herself to pursue him.
John “Evan” Fairfax, Earl of Evansleigh, is one of the most popular bachelors in the ton. However, his easygoing ways hide a dark past he’s determined to keep secret. Evan has always kept acquaintances at arm’s length for self-preservation, but there’s something irresistible about Sophie…and her seductive charms may well sway the confirmed bachelor to seize a chance at love.

Knightley’s delicious second Prelude to a Kiss Regency romance (after The Baron Next Door) returns to Somerset’s summer music festival, where love is always in the air. Sophie Wembley was enjoying the festival with her best friends right up until she heard about her sister’s elopement. Sophie now needs to get married before the news becomes public and her social standing plummets. She decides to throw propriety out the window and get John “Evan” Fairfax, the Earl of Evansleigh, to fall in love with her. Evan is charmed by Sophie’s eternal optimism, no-regrets approach to life, and loyalty to her friends, but he’s vowed never to marry. The festival is the perfect backdrop as Sophie and Evan connect over their shared appreciation for opera and good music. Evan’s vow and his eventual liberation from it are sloppily handled, but the cast of supportive friends and family more than balance out the story’s flaws with humor, tenderness, and wisdom.

November 15, 2014
A young lady with a modest dowry is husband-hunting at a summer music festival, but her task becomes more urgent as she waits for the news of her sister's elopement to leak out and ruin her chances. Knightley (The Baron Next Door, 2014, etc.) returns with the second book in her Prelude to a Kiss series. The deck is stacked against Sophie Wembley in the marriage mart. Her dowry is modest, her family's status is low, and her talent as an oboe player is an unconventional one. Unable to afford a third season for Sophie, her mother brings her to a long music festival in Somerset, hoping to find an unconventional husband for an unconventional bride. Sophie is having the time of her life until news reaches them that her sister Penelope has eloped with someone unsuitable, and the family's low status is about to get even lower. Sophie figures she has two weeks to catch a husband before word gets out, and who better to catch than the man she's secretly been pining for? Little does Sophie know that her chosen beau, John Fairfax, Earl of Evansleigh, has made a pact with his sister never to marry, both of them afraid to pass on the mental instability that runs in their family. Evan, as he's known to his friends, is well aware that Sophie's mother is trying to trap him into marrying her daughter, but he's drawn to Sophie nonetheless. Meanwhile, his sister, Julia, is pulling for Sophie and her music-loving group of friends. Early in the novel, stereotypes like the intelligent daughter with a stupid, grasping mother threaten to ruin the plot, but the lively characters and engaging storyline save the day. The musical events threaded throughout also add depth. Well worth reading.COPYRIGHT(2014) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
