Absolutely fantastic! It was fun, it was dramatic, it was sexy and it had a wonderful heroine in the effervescent Adaira. She fit beautifully with the outwardly prim and proper Roark. So, I'm not trying to knock the cover artist, but the couple on the cover in no way resembled Addy and Roark in my head.  Addy was fresh, and free spirited. She was not bound by societies dictates, in fact she feels much more comfortable dressed as a lad, than some simpering lady of leisure. To me she had more of a Keira Knightly type feel, no disrespect to the female model. Roark, ah he was more elusive. A troubled childhood, trying to restore his families honor and reputation, yet at heart a more compassionate man would be hard to find, so I went with a young Pierce Brosnan. (It was the sapphire eyes thing.)The Earl's Enticement came to me when I was not in a particularly happy place, and I really wasn't thrilled to death about starting a new book from an author I wasn't familiar with, but figured what the heck, at least I wouldn't waste my bad mood on a book I was excited about, so it was not looking good for Collette Cameron and her family of Scots.  But to my surprise, when I started reading the excerpt, I thought well that is pretty damn funny, and I am liking these characters. Let me see what Ms. Cameron can do. What she did was put me in a much, MUCH better place. Her humor, warmth and likable characters coupled with her action filled story and "edge of your seat" drama popping up without notice put a smile on my face, an awwwww, in my head, and a more joyful beat in my heart. This, this is the reason I enjoy a good, well written, intelligent historical romance. They bring sunshine on rainy days.The quirky Ferguson family made this book even brighter, their love and support for each other was inspiring. Of course, I love a Scottish brogue, even if it's on the female side of the story. Roark brought his share of cute, warm fuzzies to the tale as well, with his menagerie of misfits. I was sorry to see the story end, but I am happy to say that there are two previous books I am now very much looking forward to starting and hopefully, several more subsequent works to follow. Thank you for brightening my day Collette, job very well done.
