Last Night with the Earl

De: Kelly Bowen

Narrado por: Ashford McNab

From the 2018 RITA Award-winning author!

Earl. War hero. Notorious rake. After the Battle of Waterloo, Eli Dawes was presumed dead - and would have happily stayed that way. He's no longer the reckless young man he once was and only half as pretty. All he wants is to hide away in his country home, where no one can see his scars. But when he tries to sneak into his old bedroom in the middle of the night, he's shocked to find someone already there.

Rose Hayward remembers Eli as the arrogant lord who helped her late fiancé betray her. Finding him stealing into her art studio doesn't correct her impression. Her only thought is to get him to leave immediately. Yet the tension between them is electric, and she can't help but be drawn to him. He might be back from the dead, but it's Rose who is suddenly feeling very, very much alive.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Wonderful! A charming, clever, and engaging storyteller not to be missed." (Sarah MacLean, New York Times best-selling author)

"Skillfully crafted with intriguing characters, this historical romance will appeal to fans of Mary Balogh." (Publishers Weekly)

"Where have you been all my life, Kelly Bowen? If Julia Quinn, Sarah MacLean, and Lisa Kleypas were to extract their writing DNA, mix it in a blender, and have a love child, Kelly Bowen would be it." (HeroesandHeartbreakers.com)

As hoped…

This is a credit-worthy historical romance. Engaging characters and story, well written. Enjoyable narration.

Better than the Ist. Not as good as 3rd

This 2nd book of the series was better than the first book, but not as good as the third. That said, I did like how the book dealt with deformities and less than perfect people as many of the HR novels portray.

Beauty and the Beast w/ Some 2nd Chance Romance!

A physically scarred hero and an emotionally/socially scarred (but badass) heroine? That's what I call a match made in heaven and exactly what we get in Eli and Rose! I LOVED how it is established very early on that Eli sees Rose as the one that got away, so we get a bit of second chance romance here too. Add to that a touch of enemies to lovers and Last Night with the Earl made me a happy camper. This one was a bit more emotionally taut than A Devil in the Night and that made the payoff to HEA that much more sweeter. It amazed me how Kelly Bowen portrayed Rose's issue in such a way that seemed historically accurate, yet so easily translated to current times. I also really enjoyed the connections to the previous book and the hints to the escalating drama that we might see in the next...

Delightful

This is my favorite Kelly Bowen series. I love the messages of self-empowerment
Brilliantly written narration was perfection as all Ashford’s narrations

Really enjoyed this book

I’m a firm believer that what’s on the inside is the most important and I love how this book portrays this.

Wonderful!

So well written and dealing with so many real issues like people trying to make a living as a single parent to feed their family to overcoming physical difficulties in a daily basis while weaving love stories through it all. Totally loved this book and it's author!

Love is a many splendored Thing

Throughout the hours I listened to this story my heart and rational mind were drawn into an amazing story filled with devastation, trauma, and LOVE eternal! HEA!!

Superb!

It’s difficult to find a romance book with an unusual story line, character Developement and fabulous literary style. I am pleased to say that this book embraces all three. I’m so glad to have discovered Kelly Bowen’s books and will continue to read them all.

Do you see yourself

This book bring the truth to the front. for you only get one friend in a life time that is true so hold on with both hands. Even if you have to marry him or her. That a friend for life.

Way too longgggggggg

There were snippets in this book that reminded me that I'd listened to this book before....but hadn't rated. Well, I'm rating it now so that I will be reminded to never listen again. IMHO a book this long...actually any book....should make some kind of impression. Unfortunately, this book did not impress me at all. And yet, it has the making of a great book. The characters were likeable...mostly. The premise of the story is good, but the story became so convoluted, that I just wanted it to end. Asford McNabb's voice is monotone, and her speed is sllllllllllooooooowwwwww. I think that prevented me for enjoying the book more.
