A pursuit is underway…
From the hallowed halls of London’s Almack’s to the unkempt taverns of Drury Lane, from whispered words in glittering theatres to seductive kisses at Vauxhall Gardens – an earl must pursue his lady.

Propriety be damned. Anything is allowed. But for success, the Earl of Kelmarsh may have to enact the Rules of the Rogue…

A resolute lady.
Miss Sophie Beckford escaped to Ireland after her almost betrothed broke her heart. Now a year later, she’s back in London – stronger, better attired, armed with her cousin and determined not to fall for the blackguard’s wiles again.

A desperate gentleman.
What’s an earl to do when his almost betrothed refuses to speak to him, hear him out or even look at him after a misunderstanding of gargantuan proportions?

With dubious assistance from a roguish marquess, a strait-laced duke, and even the occasional poet and famous actor throwing in their sixpence, the earl will try any ruse, any rule in the book to recapture Sophie’s heart.

Failure is not an option.

I received An Earl in Wolf's Clothing for free. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Also in this series: Let Sleeping Dukes Lie

When Sophie Beckford and Bram, the Earl of Kelmarsh, meet in the most unusual way, it is about as close as one can come to love at first sight. Bram knows he needs a wife and an heir. His instant desire towards Sophie tells him he can’t wait any longer. The night their betrothal is to be announced, Bram’s secret life as a spy catches up with him and he loses Sophie.

Bram is heartbroken when Sophie and her family flee to Ireland where he cannot follow. He knows she will return and vows to be ready when she does. He begins the steps to his retirement as a spy. Once Sophie is back in London, Bram does everything he can to make sure Sophie knows his desire has never waned. Every month since she left, Bram has sent her a unique gift on the same day of every month. Once she has returned to London, the gifts keep coming. Sophie now has her cousin from Ireland to help her keep her heart turned from Bram’s gifts and determined will.

Windsor brought me into their world and wrapped me up in their love story and intrigues. Dynamic and passionate lead characters are cheered and jeered by spunky and determined secondary characters. I adored this first novel in what is bound to be a fantastic series. I can’t wait to read what Windsor has in store for us next!

About Emily Windsor

Emily grew up in the north of England on a diet of historical romance and classical mythology.

Unfortunately, you couldn’t study Georgian slang or the Regency London Season, so she did the next best thing and gained a degree in Classics and History instead. This ‘led’ to an eight-year stint in engineering.

Having left city life, she now lives in a dilapidated farmhouse in the country where her days are spent writing, fixing the leaky roof, battling the endless vegetation and finding pictures of well-tied cravats.
