Title: Earl on the Run
Author: Jane Ashford
Pages: 288
Harriet Finch does not want a nobleman - thank you very much. That would come too close to pleasing her grandfather and if there is one thing Harriet dislikes, it's pleasing her grandfather. However, when it turns out the rogue she met at a traveller's camp, who also managed to steal her heart, is an Earl, she is in quite the predicament.
Jack Merill, does not want to be an Earl. He misses his life back in Boston and he does not enjoy being critiqued by Society. And then there is the lovely Lady Harriet, who despises nobility, which makes him even more inclined to hide who he truly is. But, when Jack cannot hide who he is anymore, her breaks the fragile trust between himself and Lady Harriet, and he will do anything to ensure that they have their happy ending.
I wanted to enjoy this book, and I did, on a very surface level. It is quite a forgettable story and unfortunately, despite the fact that it is one of the longer regency romances, it felt underdeveloped. I did not believe the chemistry between Jack and Harriet, especially when it went from a few walks and talks to love.
Both Harriet and Jack felt undeveloped as characters and left me bored to read about them.
The one thing this book did, made me excited to read the next in the series as well as the first book in the series. The Duke and Duchess were so much fun as both a couple and as characters, I cannot wait to jump into their story. The same with Harriet's friend Sarah, who I am excited to read more about. As such I am inclined to believe that An Earl on the Run is just my least favourite out of the series and I am excited to read more by the author.
