Review: An Engaging Read
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is the fourth book in Diana Quincy’s Accidental Peers series, but it is easily a stand-alone story. I wished I’d had a hammock while reading Engaging the Earl, because it’s one of those kinds of well-written stories that unfold in so lovely a manner, you just want to lounge around and slowly savor every delicious word. I enjoyed all the characters, even Viscount Sinclair, Lady Katherine’s fiancé, the man she is to wed when her long-lost love, Edward Stanhope, now Lord Randolph (Rand) returns home from fighting Napoleon’s army. Plagued with the traumas of fighting in a bloody war, Rand has never forgotten the girl he left behind. The author’s deft handling of Edward’s condition was impressive, not to mention how she managed to bring about a satisfying ending without leaving a trail of broken hearts along the way.
