Capturing the Earl: 3 (The Wallflowers of West Lane) Paperback – Import, 26 January 2021

Will she accept she has as much right as her friends to want and ask more from life ...While I did not like the idea of the hero pursuing a woman whom does not want to be courted. He struggles to reach his goal probably because he too does not want to follow this path even if it is he believes for a greater cause. Yet it is the mercenary mechanism of the marriage mart, and while he could have asked first if she was interested or else proposed a deal as it is after something Aurora owns he is after, he knows his limits.Wesley did a great job at restoring his family’s wealth, and now that only pieces of it are missing, he thinks he has the right answer to recover one of the last one. Marry the woman holding its deed. He just never expected to be drawn to the companion of said woman. Why he is thorn between his attraction and his duty to his name.From the beginning it was clear he is a good man, only seeking what he sees as a wrong done by a careless forefather. Why he is so torn by the pull he feels for Mercy, he twists his gut to follow one path when his heart and soul long for another road. He knows he hurts her and himself but does not see a solution to his predicament.Until he realizes what really has value in life.Mercedes until now, has lived a quite contented life, she knows where she belongs and what to expect. With her friends she is her true self, not need to put a mask. There is no lie even by omission between them.But outside this close circle, she is seen as nothing less than a companion, a cheap mean to entertain and by men an easy prey. All this combined leads her to believe she deserves less than others, she is not of their ilk, that they are her better when she is only a penniless orphan, a charity case. And despite her incredible talent, she does not see her worth.Even Wesley carelessly reminds her she is no bride material for his like. And while she made her mission either to discourage him to pursue her friend or to assess his fortitude, she is enticed by him but tries to stay out of his way. Always reminded by others she is not deserving of his attentions.So when things take a different turn I understand she has her doubts and reservations.In all I loved this tale of a courting that strayed for its initial course, with a hero who needs to have his eyes opened and his love interest looking for the right hands to hold and shoulders to rest her head on.It is too a wondrous tale of friendship as the four girls they were are still as close and forthright now they are women navigating the world.5 stars𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 onscreen detailed lovemaking scene.

Wes and Mercy are such sweet people and they seem to have a lot of respect for the people in their lives. They enjoy mutual respect and caring and this includes all their friends.I received this ARC from Net Galley and voluntarily reviewed it.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series so far. Fenichel captures each character and injects a great deal of life and care into their histories, personalities, and relationships. Capturing the Earl is no exception. However, it does bear mentioning that this edition of the ebook, at least, is absolutely riddled with an astounding number of typos. Missing quotation marks, "you're" instead of "your", "complement" instead of "compliment", missing words or letters--it really ran the gamut and unfortunately served to jolt this reader out of the cozy world of the book. If that sort of reading experience bothers you too, you might want to wait and see if a revised edition is later released, or acquire a hard copy to see if it holds up any better.

This is the third in a series about four girls who bond at a boarding school in Switzerland and return to London as marriageable misses. They have different personalities and goals, but they stand up for each other. Three are titled and well cowered, the fourth is an untitled orphan living with her aunt. Each book tells the story of one of the girls finding true love, and their antics as they investigate each male candidate. The books are well written, insightful and fast paced.

Another gorgeous story in this series. Mercy is the wallflower with the least connections. She is a musical genius and a wonderful friend. Wesley needs to marry to gain some property. Once he meets Mercy he loses his heart. The wallflowers are delightful and do not disappoint in their quest to protect each other. The men they bring into their circle become a perfect part of their group. Enjoy the wit and candor as these ladies have fun with their friendship.
