Review: A Refreshing Regency Romance
Rating: 5 out of 5

It's no secret that I'm a fan of Mary Gillgannon's books.  Her writing is lyrical and her characters intriguing.  Those would be enough to keep me coming back, but what I like even more is that she makes each book unique and fresh.  Earl of Scandal is an excellent example of that.  Instead of reworking the normal Regency formula of high ranking lady falls in love with high ranking gentleman, she puts a Cinderella spin on the story with a commoner as her heroine, and instead of having the majority of the action take place in drawing rooms and at parties, she gives readers a view into the life of ordinary citizens.  I thoroughly enjoyed Merissa and Christian's story and can't wait for the next London Lords book.
