A Secret Infatuation

The Earl's Sisters, Book 2

By: Jennie Goutet

Narrated by: Stevie Zimmerman

She never forgot the boy who defended her. He never dreamed she would remember.

Lady Sophia Rowlandson has spent years perfecting the art of quiet composure—broken only once, at a country picnic when she was fifteen. Branded a lackwit by an insensitive neighbor, she was rescued by the unexpected gallantry of his visiting friend. Mr. Harwood’s defense lingered in her memory, and not even a separation of four years succeeded in dimming her admiration.

Felix Harwood remembered his friend’s lovely neighbor but had no expectation of seeing her again. After a period of four years during which he volunteered in the yeomanry, standing guard along England’s coast, he is now in London and ready to take his seat in Parliament. When he meets Lady Sophia again, he immediately falls under her charm and must fight to remind himself she is above him in station. Despite his determination to stay away, the appeal of her gentle nature shakes his carefully built resolve, and her kindness tempts him toward hope.

But society has claims of its own—and rivals eager to win her hand. As the gulf of class and expectation looms between them, Felix must decide: remain the dutiful man he has always been, or risk his hard-won future for the woman he has never forgotten.

A clean Regency romance for those who love tender kisses, stolen glances, and a happily-ever-after worth fighting for.

Perfect in every way

Love the author, love the narrator, love the story, and absolutely love the characters! Sophia and Felix are both delightful and I was totally charmed by the story. I sighed happily at the finish.

Just one thing..

I loved this story and it was very well written. The only thing that I would change is that the ending felt a bit rushed. There is one final obstacle to the finality of the story, and it doesn't go into great detail on the unveiling of how it turned out. That being said, the ending was satisfying .. just quick.
