Ted Lasso meets Bridgerton for a 19th century spin on The Hangover in USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holidays laugh-out-loud bromantic comedy featuring three Regency-era Earls on their annual tripride-or-die buddies offering one another unconditional support in everything from Lady problems to family woesespecially when this trip is crashed by one earls pen pal. The complicated fallout from his alter ego being exposed may just be the most challenging problem the boys have to solve yet! From the author of CANADIAN BOYFRIEND, the perfect romp for fans of Evie Dunmore, India Holton, Virginia Heath, Manda Collins, and Suzanne Allain! An annual earls trip should provide an escape from a gentlemans cares, but in this refreshingly modern Regency-era series, three handsome BFFs find that wherever they go, romantic complications follow . . . When not writing, poet Edward Astley, Viscount Featherfinch, spends his time fending off the young ladies of the tonand some of its young menand avoiding his cruel father. As heir to the earldom, Edward knows he must marry someday. Alas, he is already hopelessly in love with someone. Hopeless because not only is Miss Julianna Evans not a member of the aristocracy, she is employed. She is a magazine editorthe only one to publish his work. Also, in all their years of increasingly personal correspondence, theyve never met. Also, she thinks hes a woman. Named Euphemia. Julianna is baffled. How can her soul mate not want to meet? Could it be that Euphemia is not the simple country girl she claims to be? Perhaps shes wealthy. After all, shes never cashed any of the bank drafts Julianna has sent. Perhaps Euphemia simply doesnt want rank to come between them. Well, no more. Having extracted the details of a trip Euphemia is planning, Julianna squanders her meager savings and surprises her at the scene. He is very, very surprised. As is she. Now the two will have to decide what is true, what is not, and whether the truest thing of alllovejust might be worth an earldom . . .

Another September. Another Earls' Trip. This time the three gentlemen are off to visit Brighton for a fortnight of being together, talking, sightseeing, maybe some sea bathing. Like the last Earls' Trip, things do not go completely according to plan, when Effie meets his pen pal Miss Juliana Evans.

Effie and Juliana have had a longstanding epistolary relationship. They both have feelings for each other. Yet, a happy ending for them doesn't ⬇️

julesG seem to be possible, there seem to be too many insurmountable obstacles; starting with Effie's gender and not ending with an age gap.

It takes the protagonists some time to work out how a happily ever after might work. This process feels natural; they don't rush, they weigh the options, they seek the help of friends and family, they listen to their instincts.

julesG I like the slower pace of the novel and the friendship between Simon, Effie and Archie, which turned into a found family which supports its members. Since the earls have already planned next year's Earls' Trip, I am looking forward to reading about how nerdy Simon is going to woo the woman of his dreams. 1d
