THE EARL TAKES ALL is the second book in the fabulous series
of the Hellions
of Havisham. The series is about three boys who became the
ward of Marquess of
Marsden and grow up with his son after their parents are
killed in a horrific
accident.
In the first book Lorraine introduced us briefly to Albert
(as one of the
secondary characters) who fell in love and married Julia
Kenney which
made his twin brother Edward unhappy. Edward and Julia
couldn't stand
each other after the kiss he stole from her in the garden
before her
marriage.
Edward dislikes that his brother is so in love with his wife
and they can't
have adventures together anymore. So when Julia gets
pregnant again,
after three miscarriages, Edward convinces his brother to
have one last
adventure with him before the baby born.
Unfortunately the last trip costs Albert's life. Edward
promised his brother as
he lay dying that he would do anything in his power to
ensure Julia doesn't
lose the baby she carries, so pretending to be his brother
seems the best
way to go about it until the baby born.
Julia and Edward's story is so emotional and adorable that
it made me cry
couple of times.
Lorraine Heath is an amazing storyteller; she captures your
attention from the first
page and keeps you enthralled through the whole story. I
couldn't put this
book down, the anticipation of what Julia's reaction is when
she finds out the
truth and how Edward proves his love and overcomes his pain
and guilt of
being selfish drives the reader forward page after page in
the most delightful manner.
I love THE EARL TAKES ALL; there are so many emotional
moments, family and friends'
love, sacrifices and the sweetest forbidden love. Thank you
Lorraine Heath for writing another fantastic book!
One summer night, Edward Alcott gives in to temptation and
kisses Lady Julia Kenney in a dark garden. However, the
passion she stirs within him is best left in the shadows as
she weds his twin, the Earl of Greyling. But when tragedy
strikes, to honor the vow he makes to his dying brother,
Edward must pretend to be Greyling until the countess
delivers her babe.
After her husband returns from a
two-month sojourn, Julia finds him changed. Bolder, more
daring, and more wicked—even if he does limit their
encounters to kisses. With each passing day, she falls more
deeply in love.
For Edward the embers of desire
sparked on that long-ago night are quickly rekindled. He
yearns to be her husband in truth. But if she discovers his
ruse, she will despise him—and English law prevents him from
marrying his brother’s widow. Yet he must dare to risk
everything and reveal his secrets if he is to truly take all.
