When the Earl Was Wicked by Jess MichaelsMy Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
Just a solid historical that delivers exactly what it promises.
This second book in The Comerford Courtesans series was a fast read that hits all the historical tropes we love. Two jilted lovers stage a fake relationship for revenge and get an HEA along the way. I have enjoyed the small scale worldbuilding in this series and the way that the supporting characters are thoroughly woven into each story, this makes the connectivity of the books very solid and believable. That our fair protagonists are courtesans, and solidly of age, means we can skip the whole having to be precious about ruination. This effectively short hands a lot of what slows some historicals down. The chemistry is A+ and the HEA doesn't require any great leaps of disbelief or anyone acting wildly out of character.
Looking forward to the two books to follow in this series.
