An Uncommon Earl Tour, Review and Giveaway

Alexander Allerton, the Earl of Bloxley’s, greatest desire is to alleviate the suffering of the poor and less fortunate of England. So when his hackney carriage is involved in an accident that results in the death of one of those he is determined to help, he is devastated. Alexander vows to keep the promise he makes to the injured woman as she takes her final breaths: he will not rest until he finds her young son. 

 After a crippling accident years ago, Jane Hadford is accustomed to being largely ignored at social events. But being overlooked has allowed her to hone her observational skills—and she quickly perceives that all is not well with the handsome Lord Bloxley. When an unexpected opportunity arises to talk to the earl, he surprises them both by sharing with her his fruitless search for the child. Touched by Lord Bloxley’s story and by his desire to make things right, Jane determines to help him fulfill his promise. What she cannot anticipate, however, is that the quest she has chosen to undertake will bring into her life a small boy who will steal her heart and a gentleman who might well do the same.

Review - An Uncommon Earl is the second in the series Georgian Gentleman. The story could be read as a stand alone, however, some of the characters are introduced in the previous book, The Noble Smuggler, and I find it easier to usually read the first book in the series first. This novel shares a romance intertwined with the welfare of a child. This story was easy to read, paced well, and entertaining. Bessey does an excellent job of describing the scenes, characters, and providing personality to both major and minor characters. The plot moves along well. I enjoyed learning about some of the historical background of life in England as well as seeing the characters strive to make a difference in the world. Stories that share the characters doing good or seeking out the welfare of others inspire the readers to go out and make a difference as well. Overall, I found this to be a fun and delightful read.
