My Brown-Eyed Earl by Anna Bennett Review

My Brown-Eyed Earl by Anna Bennett

⭐

         This title started out well and was interesting but fizzled quickly and I decided to give it up.

         Margaret Lacey, Meg, is in need of employment to help keep her supposedly mad uncle out of debtor's prison and to take care of her sisters. She reluctantly accepts a position with William Ryder, Earl of Castleton, a man from her past who has just been given custody of two young girls.

          I was going to say that Meg and Will must fight their growing attraction to each other, but they really don't. Not even a little. More on that in a moment.

          This started out well and I was fully invested in the story and really enjoying it. There was some good humor and I found myself smiling often while reading. I liked both Meg and Will and was really looking forward to seeing their story play out.

          And then.

          And then they kissed, a little early in the book for my tastes but I could've dealt with that. If there hadn't been a scene with kissing and touching shortly after. All this without them really spending much time together or getting to know each other. I had a feeling the book was going to become nothing but sexy times and decided I was done.

          I think there's some potential for a good series here, anyway, and I will be checking out the next book.
