Book Review: To Love an Earl @ai-Books
I suspect that the heroine, Deirdre Fenton as a masochist and the hero, Rathbourne is a sadist. Even though Rathbourne lie, manipulate, threaten and blackmail Deirdre, in the end, she still loves the man, which proves that she’s an idiot. Rathbourne isn’t any better. I mean what kind of guy who would hurt someone you love and told her that he did all that because he loves her?
To Love an Earl in my opinion is too lengthy and too dragging. There were quite a f...more

oh my god! psycho-compulsive main guy with the emotional range of a metronome and a main gal with half a brain and 3 seconds of memory. Not a very good mix. The storyline had immense holes in it but the general historical background was actually quite nice... And there was lots of passion, which at times was really good. Only, most of the time - not so much.
I tried,tried and finally 2/3 into story, I gave up...The pace was so slow.and No romance at all.Deirdre is too tenacious in her hatred and prejudice.the cold annoying heroine just made me want to slap her,again and again... As a couple, this really was a mismatch.
The main female character of the book is the stupidest, blindest, most self-absorbed, most wilful and most horrid heroine I've ever encountered in a romance. The "hero" is an obsessed, arrogant SOB and stalker. Their first sexual encounter is a rape, pure and simple. I read about 3/4 of the book but finally couldn't stand any more of the heroine's idiocy (including going to look for her 20-year-old brother at the battlefield of Waterloo, while the battle was still going on, because she thought h...more
Bodice-wripper? Yup. Great heroine who has gumption in a time when we all know it was very unrealistic? Yup. Neat character development? I thought so. A good guilty pleasure novel and an author I will definitely need to read more from.
I found this a difficult book to read.
Usually I can not wait to see what happens next and I am engaged
with the characters and the storyline. I found myself not liking both heroine and hero.

Damn, this is the kind of historical romance i just love...Our heroine has guts, our hero is a bad-boy and the story flows rapidly...
Two thumbs up!
Two thumbs up!
I really did enjoy this book. The hero was desperate, and the heroine was conflicted.
Liked it in the beginning but it dragged on for too long
