I quite enjoyed The Earl’s Enticement. What starts off as a terrible case of mistaken identity, the relationship between Adaira and Roark develops into a full-fledged romance characteristic of this genre. While I no longer read historical romances as frequently as I did as a teen, I still enjoy picking one up every now and then, especially when the heroine is a feisty and intelligent minx who snubs her nose at societal dictates. Ms. Cameron certainly delivered all that I hope for in a book of this genre and then some.Addy is a wonderfully entertaining heroine. I found myself laughing at her antics several times during the story and saddened for her when faced with some of the harsher aspects of life - especially the loss of a friendship. As expected, Roark is the sinfully attractive Lord who takes it upon himself to tame they little hoyden. While both characters are well written and entertaining in their own right, it is their interactions with one another that and their combined chemistry that intensify their story. As expected, sexual activity between the two is non-existent until WELL into the book, but when it does happen, it is so worth the wait that even Roark is surprised at the outcome.I must admit that I wavered as to whether or not this was a 4 or 5-star rating for me. Although I enjoyed this book thoroughly, I reserve a 5-star rating for books that make it to my re-read list and I almost never reread historical romances. That said, once I saw the blurb for Highlander' s Hope, Ewan and Yvette's book that precedes this one, I realized that when I get the opportunity to read it, I will reread The Earl's Enticement, thus earning it a 5-star rating. Ms. Cameron has produced a well written novel that should please readers of the genre. I look forward to reading more of her work.I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.Reviewed by Angela at Crystal's Many Reviewers!
