Quick, mid-week post.

While I’m reading my new Jane Kirkpatrick book, Across the Crying Sands, I’ll leave you with this …

A Gentleman’s Gentleman by TJ Alexander...   This is a book, if I’m being honest, I kept wanting to put down. I’m definitely not a fan of romance books but I heard good things - and I did not put it down. I must have found the good things about it because I kept reading. I wanted to see how it resolved. Not necessarily resolved, but where it would go might be a better description. I think the main reason I kept reading was the likability of the main character, Lord Christopher Eden. There were very few characters in this book so that was probably very important. He presented as a down to earth, kind and caring sort of Earl. Very private. He doesn’t want nor does he need a houseful of servants. Unfortunately his slow, quiet and easy life in the country is interrupted when he learns that in order to keep his earldom and all that goes with it, he must take a wife. By his 25 birthday. Which is in a few months. He finds it necessary to travel to London for business and decides to look for a wife while there. In order to appear prosperous and perhaps more ‘traditional’, he engages the services of a valet (as all Earl’s of the time do) for the trip. Enter Mr. Harding. His search for a suitable partner takes twists and turns and eventually resolves itself to everyone’s satisfaction. People who like the romance genre will probably love this book.

I found it a quick, pleasant, and likable read.
