WAITING FOR AN EARL LIKE YOU is book three in the Masters of
Seduction series by Alexandra Hawkins. In WAITING
FOR AN
EARL LIKE YOU, the Netherwood twins turn Olivia Lydall's
world upside down. Olivia and identical twins Thorn and
Gideon have played together as children. Now that they're
all grown up, Olivia just gets used to Gideon's sudden
flirtatious overtures, when his slightly surly brother
knocks her off balance with his heated stares and
whispered words that tantalize.
More and more, Thorn finds himself jealous of his
brother's close friendship with Olivia. It's a situation
made even more maddening because he has never come to
terms with his true feelings for Olivia. Thorn winds up
confusing Olivia because he is fighting himself over his
feelings. Olivia and Thorn both have family troubles.
Thorn struggles with his complicated relationship with
his twin, and Olivia must deal with a greedy, grasping
wannabe step-mother as a constant irritant. Alexandra
Hawkins balances the conflicts that arise in this story
with the erotic yet incredibly unconventional romance.
When Thorn gets serious, and devotes himself to wooing
and seducing Olivia, the tension between them turns
electrifying.
I love stories that feature twins and Alexandra Hawkins
adds a little extra depth to her hero by injecting pathos
into his relationship with his twin. WAITING FOR AN EARL
LIKE YOU is the kind of story that makes you very aware
of the supporting characters, and eager to check in with
them. Although the focus in WAITING FOR AN EARL LIKE YOU
is on the constantly evolving romance between Thorn and
Olivia, Alexandra Hawkins keeps the threat of danger
percolating on the fringes. This is a story in which men
don't have a monopoly on wickedness. There are a few
female characters in WAITING FOR AN EARL LIKE YOU that
exhibit varying degrees of malevolence.
WAITING FOR AN EARL LIKE YOU is an unforgettable romance
full of the divine, the deliciously tempting, and the
delightfully unexpected. Alexandra Hawkins succeeds once
again in building a series with a group of privileged,
complex, and sexy men with strong friendships at the
heart of it. With each book in this series, Alexandra
Hawkins makes me even more eager to read Marcroft's book
- the wait is killing me!
LOVE ISN’T ALWAYS WHAT IT SEEMS.Get lost in Waiting for an Earl Like You, the next lush,
sensual Regency romance in the Masters of Seduction series
by USA Today bestselling author Alexandra Hawkins.
Justin Reeve Netherwood, Earl of Kempthorn—a.k.a. Thorn—has
never cared much for his neighbor’s daughter. But his twin
brother, Gideon, befriended the wild, reckless, and wholly
inappropriate Miss Olivia Lydall in youth, and two have been
close ever since. So when Olivia finds herself in a state of
romantic conflict and seeks out Gideon for advice, he’s only
too pleased to oblige. Only problem: The man Olivia is
speaking to is Thorn. And now it’s too late for him to tell
Olivia the truth…
Thorn always believed that Olivia was too smitten with
Gideon for her own good. So what’s the harm in steering her
away from him? But Thorn’s charade turns out to be anything
but harmless once he begins to see Olivia for who she really
is: A woman full of spirit and passion…and someone he can’t
live without. But how can Thorn claim Olivia’s heart when
their deepening connection—and burning desire—is built on
lies and deceit?
