Earl of Griffith (Once Upon a Widow Book 6) by Aubrey Wynne – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Earl of Griffith by Aubrey Wynne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a sweet Regency romance with wonderful characters and a storyline which kept me hooked throughout. Lady Helen, who eloped with an Irishman when she was young and naive, is now having to return home as a widow with her three year old daughter. Her homecoming is bittersweet as she has to face her family and ask for forgiveness. However, as she returns to England it is not a member of her family who greets her but a friend of her brothers. Welshman, Conway, Earl of Griffith has a lonely life full of responsibility having assumed his title and Welsh estate at birth. He agrees to help a friend by escorting his sister from Bristol to London, but he wasn’t expecting to feel an instant connection with Lady Helen and her daughter. Helen meanwhile, is disillusioned with love and concentrating on raising her daughter alone, but the handsome Earl has a way of charming them both. It’s not long before Griff’s affection turns to love, and although he sees the haunted look in Helen’s eyes he is determined to convince her that love is worth another chance. I loved Helen and Griff and their chemistry came across in the writing, and I liked how their relationship developed throughout the story. The descriptive narrative brought the Regency setting vividly to life, and along with the added historical details I felt immersed in the era. An enjoyable and engaging read.
